I'm not dead, btw, I've just been stressed out about everything that has been going on nationally. Not sure if I'll come back to streaming. If I don't, thank you to everyone who hung out with me in chat on Twitch, it was super fun being (even briefly) a part of that community.

really proud to live in Los Angeles right now fuck these assholes, this city is great

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

So...the ICE agents?

This is precisely correct.

The situation in DTLA to which 700 Marines have been deployed is a couple dozen interfaith clergypersons leading a small crowd in prayer.

In case it isn’t clear yet, the orange felon is creating as much chaos as possible so that it leads to a civil war in the United States and him saying he doesn’t want a civil war is total bullshit, that’s exactly what he wants, he is a criminal after all and he’s out for revenge.

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

good morning friends 💚✨

@repmaxinewaters.bsky.social pleads with National Guard to not use their guns, yesterday.

Exactly.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

All I’m saying is that, as someone who used to structure their whole day around getting drunk and high, if the government cared about addiction they’d focus on mental health resources not immigration.

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

Too much “what are the protesters doing” and not enough “why isn’t ICE leaving?”

ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

Something frustrating about ADHD is that I'm always "catching up" with myself, other people, work, creative projects, housework, sleep, everything Thankfully I'm about to replan and reschedule my life in a new journal until 1am which will definitely cure me this time

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

If you want to help support the families who have been detained by #ICE in #LA, here's a list of verified GoFundMes to help them: linktr.ee/desolasol_co... And CHIRLA.org helps protect immigrant rights. If you can't protest, then donate or signal boost. #LosAngeles #FUCKICE #laprotest #ACAB

This is also our call for a General Economic Strike. Everyone does their part. We stand together. I'm with you on boycotts. If you have anything you want posted, please, feel free to send it my way. Its what allies do. #GeneralEconomicStrike

No work, no spend 6/9-6/13 nationwide. Please share & participate. If we want change, we'll have to create it ourselves. Form community mutual aid so all may eat. Strong communities survive.

These militarist ICE raids are the actual government oppression that right wingers dreamed was happening during Covid. They are not up in arms like they were about masking, go figure.

Max is really on one here, tremendous work

"They had Mexican flags!!! People should only be allowed to to have the Stars and Stripes, not flags of a countries we were once at war with!!! They should be arrested for this!!!"

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

Rep Gomez: We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress

The world is watching. And we have friends everywhere. Upload everything, every moment. Don’t give them the chance to twist the truth. We have people on the way to help. You’re not alone. ✊🌙💚

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now. This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence. Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate

Saw MLK Jr. mentioned and the cool thing is you can actually read the words he wrote. You don’t have to try to imagine what he said, you can read it right now www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen...

Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!

In LA, officers deployed tear gas and shot rubber bullets at protesters fighting against ICE raids. Here’s a reminder that those anti-protest weapons—which are billed as relatively safe—can actually cause serious harm.

This skateboarder kid represents true US resistance vs the Trump regime's fascist authoritarianism attacking US cities and communities nationwide. Dozens of regime ICE troops assaulted him and he still came out on top. #3E #StopICE (📹 @jeremotographs.bsky.social )

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

The MAGA regime and fascist republican cult are deliberately causing as much fear and chaos as possible to justify using US military as their own personal army which would then lead to them militarizing the country, I firmly believe that and their goal is a fascist state.

beginning to suspect that LA wants ICE to fuck off

This. It's really inconsiderate, rude, etc.

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

If you're at the protest in LA rn be aware the entire LADP just drove past heading your way.

Portlanders... there is a hell globe in the sky, glowering and harshing my vibe. I was promised endless gloom and rain. Wherefore art thou gentle showers?! Please explain.

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

the scenes in LA are reminding me of the summer of 2020… especially now with the addition of the national guard
