This is just sick.

via @ktla.com: Footage obtained by KTLA shows a young man crying, saying his mother had just been taken, and children and protesters running from tear gas that was deployed when a crowd gathered at an immigration raid at a Ventura County farm this afternoon

BREAKING: Massive ICE raid ongoing at a farm in Camarillo, Ventura County, CA.

Local news reports that an unknown number of workers have been detained.

Almost 20% of US strawberries come from the county. US food supply at risk from Trump’s fascist thugs & Stephen Miller’s quota.

It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now
- People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA
- We all we got, we all we need

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.”

This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

There’s a disturbing number of people insinuating the poor or disabled individuals shouldn’t have cell phones as they’re a “luxury”

First, we deserve nice things too.

Second, it’s 2025. They’re not a luxury anymore

Case in point, RFK Jr’s decision to restrict Covid vaccines? Announced on X only

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Q: “Outside they’re chanting ‘protect due process’. Do you think everyone arrested in an ICE raid has a right to due process?”

Rep. Andy Ogles: “NO.” 🤔

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.”

No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time.

And it’s coming to your city next.
