Some absolutely amazing reporting from @acatwithnews.bsky.social & co. today in Los Angeles
LAPD sweeping people out of the MOCA parking lot- I’ll follow up, I believe that’s private property?
Mural says “who is beyond the law? Who is bought and sold? Who is free to choose…” etc.

LA peeps! If you’re appreciating the on-the-ground reporting of people like @acatwithnews.bsky.social , @tinadesireeberg.com , @shoton35mm.bsky.social and other independent journalists, find their Venmo and buy them a coffee or whatever.
As someone who grew up in Minnesnowda/Minnecolda, I appreciate this thread of helpful tips for ICE & CBP agents visiting the Twin Cities. 😉
Also, I’m flying from LA to MSP to visit family for the holidays and I think I’ll bring a sack of whistles to pass out to folks. Rapid responder solidarity. ✊

Hey, I want to offer some helpful tips for coping with the cold for ICE folks who might have come from warmer places.
1. Wear cotton socks! Cotton is nice and soft next to your skin and will absorb your sweat so your feet stay warm. Cotton everything but ESPECIALLY socks!

Good morning to fuckers in our neighborhood kidnapping our neighbors! Can you see the city skyline? No? You’re wondering if Minneapolis burned down again overnight? Oh no, sweetie. That’s ice crystals in the air . It looks like it will get to around -8F without windchill! Please enjoy your stay!

Admiral Holsey is to this serial murder in the Caribbean as Hugh Thompson was to the butchery at My Lai --

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.
