others have said it and it's worth repeating, the Trump admin's occupation of Chicago isnt about immigration enforcement, it's about provoking confrontation and trying to create the conditions to declare martial law during an election yr. it's coming to your city next.

CIA agents love to go into politics to get elected as a mayor or a senator or some shit

I'm a protective intel analyst with a lot of public sector experience. If the Mamdani transition team is looking for security people, I'd like to help. If you know anyone, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

He dunked on Cuomo in his victory speech. Holy shit. Lmao

Looking for the take that maybe Trump surrounding himself with the most hateful and hateable people in America isn’t exactly helping him either.

We can do this in SoCal :

👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead. IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained. IRS Direct File: 2023-2025. (Story from when the pilot launched.)

At Las Palmas senior center rn. There is a small line which you can bypass and drop off your ballot. #LAVotes

Jordan Henry is an employee of the City of Los Angeles who made $115,976 in 2023. How is this acceptable conduct for a public employee? More info in alt-text.

New from 404 Media: CBP has quietly launched a facial recognition app for local cops to do immigration enforcement. Scans their face, tells cops whether to contact ICE about this person or not. A truly rapid expansion of ICE's facial recognition app to local cops www.404media.co/cbp-quietly-...

Anyone see any of the federal "election monitors" in LA?

Don't make the same mistake that Democratic politicians in New York City have always made - getting pushed around by the NYPD.

Mamdani must ruthlessly fire anyone who publicly disrespects him. Don't take the high road

wow, if only there had been warning signs about his temperament before he was confirmed

Has Nick Fuentes endorsed Cuomo yet?

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Here you have a Florida Fish & Wildlife officer detaining an individual who was fishing and admitting they have been directed to “check with immigration on anyone who gives us a passport and doesn’t appear to be a citizen”, which sounds a lot like racial profiling.

Data from ICE shows that none of its agents have ever been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s more than two-decade history.

Interesting website that exposes people who cheat at marathons www.marathoninvestigation.com

A reminder that it’s still happening here.

How the fuck do the Patriots have the best record in the league lol Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

#RussianSecrets, led by @ndr.de, found defense companies and maritime suppliers sold sonars, underwater robots, fibre optic cables, research vessels and other equipment worth over $50 million to a Cypriot entity secretly linked to a Russian defense contractor.

Driving around Addison looking for DHS today. If you see anything in Chicago area, I’m mlm335.27 on Signal.

Sociopaths

At least three news outlets had photo/video stollen by DHS to make an ICE propaganda video this week. (Also a Coldplay song?) Was your IP stolen by DHS? Get in touch! I'm with @freedom.press and we're concerned. Also, anyone work with content ID tools that do copyright matching at scale?

Couldn't get past the police line (and unclear how people will get home) but that block just ahead of the cops is where a metro bus burned last year and riot cops attacked people. See @shoton35mm.bsky.social 's reporting

Lapd attacking people on Sunset. Looks like just east of the overpass of Glendale. Big bud press store in the background. Across from The Echo and Echoppex

LAPD is going to start gassing people tonight. The dept rarely ever deployed tear gas at protests in the past and now does on a regular basis.

LAPD in riot gear have Sunset blocked between Laveta and Logan. The heart of Echo Park. Fireworks are going up along sunset.

This guy chases people so I stayed a safe distance away. He got me like two weeks ago lol.

No celebration over at Scientology, however

Same guy. Lol

Fireworks all the way in OC

Looks like we're already celebrating. 9:40 pm, Los Angeles

IF YOU'RE IN LINE TO WATCH THE END OF THE WORLD SERIES STAY IN LINE!

I'm not sure that telling sports fans to "turn off the televisions" right now is a good idea.

LMAOO

If anyone has additional photos or video, I would like to see them. Send any tips via DM, to eml.07 on the Signal app, or to [email protected].

Finished the 5K

An hour before this story published, I happened to email two members of the Police Commission to warn them of misleading statements being made by LAPD. But those were from several OTHER incidents. Just ... so many. Anyway, what I've been calling out for 5 years is being called out from inside too.

NEW: Los Angeles police are currently looking for 55-year old failed livestreamer Anthony Robert D'Amato Jr, who missed a scheduled court hearing on Wednesday www.permanentrecordx.com/p/arrest-war...

Not sure this is going to be a big seller.

The poor Republicans. They’ve only had 15 years to craft a replacement healthcare/insurance system.

This guy is an actual genius.

NEW from me: Eight on-air personalities were fired from CBS News yesterday as part of the layoffs -- and every single one of them is female, with half of them being POC. Also, sources tell me a male correspondent saved his job by whining to Bari Weiss. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Over at the courthouse as usual spending an exhorbitant amount of money for "public" records

BREAKING: According to a courtroom observer, BENCH WARRANT and $500,000 bail just issued for 55 year-old Rumble livestreamer Anthony Robert D'Amato Jr AKA Zero Dark Tony.

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...
