Remarkable.
MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

⚠️ Roughly 500 Marines from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles. It’s not clear when they would actually deploy to Los Angeles.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.
The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.
This is trickle down economics on steroids.

I took these photos at #HovenweepNationalMonument in southeast Utah during our post-wedding camping trip in 2021. #Hovenweep is currently one of the top sites being eyed by the Secretary of the Interior to be opened up for oil, gas, and mineral extraction.

BREAKING: President Trump is set to sign a number of anti-environmental executive orders.
Trump is trying to ban clean energy and gut environmental protections to make Big Oil happy.
These actions will lead to dirtier air and water, increased energy costs, and worse quality of life for all.

Trump believes we are in such a dire energy emergency he wants us to stop producing affordable clean energy & force dated, wasteful tech. The only emergency he’s focused on is repaying the corporate polluter executives for donating to his campaign – while we pay the real price of higher energy bill.

As many as 10,000 buildings have burned in the fires in Los Angeles. And many of the displaced victims will be looking for somewhere new to live.
But that could be difficult in LA, given the county is already lacking enough available homes.
