Why won’t LA City use the benefit of hindsight? LA has been criminalizing poverty for decades. We know, we fucking know, IT DOES NOT WORK! What it does do, is breed corruption. LA has created an entire industry that makes money off of poverty. Billions of dollars managing the crisis of our lifetime.

you don’t control the local government either. your city is controlled by the cops, guaranteed.
In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.

But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

It has been one month since the US invaded Venezuela and abducted sitting President Nicolás Maduro and First Combatant Cilia Flores.

We must continue to call out this outrageous violation of Venezuelan's sovereignty and demand their immediate release.

The police only enforce the laws they want to enforce, and only against the people they want to criminalize.

Hope to see more of this. If someone could get Anthony Edwards to refuse to play until ICE is out of MN or LeBron James to call for an end to ICE, it would make a huge difference in terms of normalizing dissent against these fascists.

I'm honestly just sick. If you can stomach watching any of this footage & still let the words "more training" escape your mouth, I cannot ever forgive you. These are state-sanctioned street executions. This is the training.

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.
ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment
ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

This applies to LA electeds, especially City wide (Mayor, Controller, City Attorney) and legislative leaders (City Council President).

The immigration courts + ICE jail in downtown LA are across the street from LA City Hall. Apart from photo-op rallies, there hasn't been a lot of showing up.
Democrat leaders looking for "creative ideas" to fight ICE, I've got a crazy one called "go outside to where the shit is actually happening."

One of the most hilarious unintended side effects of the administration’s lies about “organized groups” is that the people I know who aren’t quite as plugged in are all like “wait, there are organized people out there! Awesome! Where do I join?”

if the only response to an ICE agent shooting a woman in the face in front of her wife and child is the president saying 'he shouldn't have had to deal with how rude she was' YOU ARE ALREADY UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
