Last night, at least one federal agent shot me multiple times w/ pepper balls in my leg after they dispersed hundreds of protesters away from the MDC driveway on Alameda Street in DTLA. I was covering the protest for @lataco.bsky.social. This is the 2nd time I've been shot by the feds since June.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

If you're not in Minnesota and have bought into the drawdown talk....it's all B.S.
The only difference since Tom Homan showed it is they haven't murdered another Minnesotan....yet.
We're still be terrorized by the Federal Government and the majority of elected officials seem unable to protect us.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

From Texas to Minneapolis, the regime is using 'conspiracy' charges to spread fear and repression in the face of a ground swell of popular sentiment against fascism.

Pam Bondi’s “charges” (whatever they are) against Don Lemon & the other journalists won’t likely stand up in court because that’s not the point.
The point is for the AG to suck up to Trump by A) deflecting attention from his administration’s abuses, & B) intimidating critics of those abuses.
