During the first year of the Trump administration's second term, at least 140,000 people nationwide were detained in these rooms—a steep jump from the 80,000 people held from September 2023 to the end of Biden's term. The full story: lataco.com/california-h... By @chularadio.bsky.social

How will you be using the No Kings protest to actually build community, and make sure your activism moves BEYOND a single day? Sound off in the comments. A guide on the type of work that EVERYONE needs to be doing AFTER the protest ends: peoplespowerplaybook.my.canva.site

General Strike US is having a nationwide meeting for EVERYONE interested in pushing our movement forward. Mark your calendars for Monday, April 13 @ 5 pm PST on our national GSUS Discord server. Link in bio!

LAPD and policing have been pretty hot topics at the Charter Reform Commission and it's finally back on the agenda this Thursday (4 pm). The ad hoc committee tossed out the reform proposals, but there seems to be space on the agenda to bring some ideas back.

TUESDAY (3/3) @ 3 PM, City Hall, Room 1010: More changes to LA's Charter are up for a vote on: - how LA's budget happens; - the future of City Charter reform; & - Neighborhood Council reform recommendations by LANCC & BONC. More meeting & Zoom info: bit.ly/FRLA26

There. Are. A. Million. And. One. Reasons. To. Strike. This is one of them. We were never fans of Trump, but he did say “no new wars” (we didn’t believe him, but obviously someone did) and clearly, it’s always been about war, power & dominance. Congress is silent, so it has to be on us.

Lots of very useful information in this thread

@wanderslut.bsky.social - credit for the video Say it once, and we’ll say it again. Get involved in your local chapters. If a local chapter does not exist, start one. Get involved in local mutual aid. Get involved in multiple groups. We hear at General Strike support it when people are in 👇

15 Councilmembers for almost 4 million Angelenos is...a choice. 😬 Let’s choose a future with fair representation! THURSDAY (2/26), 4 PM @ City Hall: City Council expansion, ranked choice voting, an elected Public Advocate & more are on the table. Show up in support! Meeting info at: bit.ly/FRLA26

True story: Multiple people run this account, but the person typing this out, my moms insurance company denied her blood pressure meds, so her doctor has to go to the insurance company to argue why it’s necessary. The healthcare system in the U.S. is killing us slow. Striking saves lives.

Hey all! Our chapter is having its second in person meeting. We plan on making these monthly. This a great opportunity to meet like minded people, and ask your questions 👍 Let us know if you have any questions about the event, and we will see you there #generalstrike #losangeles

‼️HEY LOS ANGELES‼️ We have a team meeting February 5th @ 6:00pm. Come on through :) Link: meet.jit.si/gsuslosangeles #generalstrikeus #losangeles

And on top of this, our literally tax dollars are funding these people; whether directly or indirectly Think of the government subsidies many of these people’s companies have received?

Hey guys! We have a mutual aid request :) Please read Rita’s story, donate and/or share. Link: gofund.me/28d33bc10 But also, this is why we need a general strike. A country in which leaves its most vulnerable behind, is no friend to us

Justice for Keith and his family 💪

Ways to identity ICE from @uniondelbarrio.bsky.social We all have to be a part of the effort to keep our communities safe 💪

We are pleased to announce that our Northern California chapter has their own strike fund so please donate to support striking workers in the NorCal area. Strike Fund: opencollective.com/general-stri... NorCal Chapter: discord.gg/xHYWs5cVAf

A LONG THREAD‼️ Okay, gather around everyone. Let’s talk strike cards & what WE need to do to prepare for a long term sustained strike. For some this information might be redundant, but we think it’s important enough to bare repeating, & hopefully this can create a discussion in the comments. 👇👇👇

If you know nothing or very little about GSUS, this is an important read #generalstrike

Stop Project Baccara! 2/4/26 9am! All Maricopa county residents! A gas power plant and data center is being proposed on unincorporated Maricopa County land, just outside city limits, within miles of homes, schools, and Luke Air Force Base. Decisions are being made at the county and state level.

You should absolutely read this. This is the court decision with regards to releasing 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, and his dad, Adrian Conejo Arias, be released from ICE detention

This is the police chief for Los Angeles, Jim McDonnell. He is openly saying that he will not enforce CA state law. Therefore we need to call our city council members to remove him from his position. If you want to email LAPD: [email protected]

1/ Ian Austin has since been re-arrested along with Don Lemon, which he believes is bc the video we made of him (below) criticizing the Trump regime and encouraging fellow vets to wake up had gotten millions of views. It's not just journalists. It's ANYONE. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from immigration custody — condemning their removal from Minneapolis as unconstitutional. Judge Fred Biery condemned "the perfidious lust for unbridled power" and "the imposition of cruelty."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Judge orders US to release father and 5-year-old taken into custody during Minnesota immigration crackdown.

DAILY MEMO: Border Patrol Continues To Follow, Point Their Guns, and Detain Community Watchers @eltragon.bsky.social

1/30: A large crowd gathered earlier today at the Amazon Web Services Headquarters in Santa Monica. Protestors say they want to hold Amazon accountable for providing web services to ICE.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

It started with us LA‼️ Los Angeles has a rich history of not putting up with crap like this. Look what happens when we come together, and show our collective power. The same principle applies for withholding labor. Solidarity FOREVER💪 #generalstrike Posted By: www.instagram.com/jerrodzisser...

This video was take 1 week ago. A reminder that ICE is very much still in LA, and that we need a general strike as well. We ALLLL need a general strike. Join us in our meetings to see how you can help 💪

LA Charter reform just got more open and transparent, thanks to the leadership of Commissioners Fuentes and Thomas! 🎉 Their motion requiring disclosure of contacts with elected officials & staff keeps the public in the loop. Read more news coverage @ bit.ly/123DN & bit.ly/127LAT

Thank you Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez! CM Hernandez is the 1st City of LA elected official to offer their support for allowing "residents 16 and up to vote in LAUSD Board elections to allow for representation of the people most impacted by these elections."

This whole thing. Everything that’s happening is about riding the momentum and wave. There are so many people at different political levels. Some have been organizing for a long time, while others are brand new. This time is about supporting the energy to and get people engaged in a strike.

ICE Tracker so far 1/30.

11/29/26-11:30AM PST - right outside City Hall in Los Angeles—near Grand and Temple Streets. According to source of vid, this gentleman walked out of the courthouse with papers and then was immediately surrounded Mayor’s office keeps yelling about opposing ICE when this shit happens on her doorstep

Thank you so much to all who attended our in-person meeting last. We had such a good turn out! We will be having monthly meetings all around LA, so stay tuned for that :)

A goddess has passed. If you don’t know Shirley Raines has sadly passed. She was a leader in homeless advocacy in Los Angeles & Las Vegas. She was a pillar in the community, and if we all moved like her, this world would be better. Rest in Power ❤️ www.instagram.com/beauty2thest...

A reminder for our in person hangout today. See you there!

HEY LOS ANGELES! We are having a hangout session on Wednesday 28th from 7:30pm - 9:30pm. This is casual event, think bonding and team building, but if you are on the fence about GS LA, and want to meet people IRL, this is your chance :) Reach out if you have any questions🙌

If you don’t follow @theconsciouslee.bsky.social he is great. I think more active on Instagram but he is always coming in with great insight.
