There is plenty of room for principled critique on what actions we take and how we move forward. We need a full toolbox of diverse tactics.

This person happened to watch a music video that had things burning in it, he walked up a mountain path & saw a fire, tried to call 911 to alert about a fire, then 7 days later the fire breaks out.

Given Essayli’s recent record, media should be highly sus of anything he says

US attorney Bill Essayli: “rap music caused the palisades fire”
Essayli: He exited the car and walked up a nearby trail and took iPhone videos at nearby hilltop and listened to a rap song whose music video included objects being lit on fire. The defendant had listened to this song repeatedly in the days leading up to the fire

For years, local governments & police departments have cooperated with federal agencies through the Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Now, through Trump's new NPSM-7 directive, these task forces will focus on “leftist” groups.

History shows us what happens when our movements are targeted by the feds.
In NSPM-7, “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” President Trump directs the Justice Department, the FBI, and other national security agencies and departments to fight his version of political violence in America, retooling a network of Joint Terrorism Task Forces to focus on “leftist” political violence in America. This vast counterterrorism army, made up of federal, state, and local agents would, as Trump aide Stephen Miller said, form “the central hub of that effort.”

NSPM-7 directs a new national strategy to “disrupt” any individual or groups “that foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.”

More workers were abducted today than pretty much any other single day over the course of the months-long federal occupation of Los Angeles.

We are still under siege. There is no other choice but to organize and fight back. Look out for one another and defend your neighbors!

Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her.

Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken.

Rest Free, Assata.

ICE / feds continue to terrorize communities all over LA. Home Depots and car washes are hit by kidnapping operations daily (in addition to other raids / roving patrols). Stay vigilant & look out for your neighbors.

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.

"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."
How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

The path for Trump targeting college students was paved by the Democratic Party & their leaders making enemies out of these young people.

If you want to talk about fascism, they deployed a police state on campuses all across California. Don’t ever forget this.
"These attacks also happened in Democratic-run cities and blue states," said attorney Ricci Sergienko, who filed the suit on Thursday. "That is a clear, direct path to what's happening now with Trump, because the Democratic Party and their leaders made enemies out of these young people."
"If you want to talk about fascism, they deployed a police state on campuses all across California," Sergienko said. "We want to talk about what fascism is, and authoritarian repression and suppression - that is modeled here in California."

semantics arguing about whether Trump can designate a “domestic group” as “terrorists”

When Joe Biden got elected, he issued a new initiative that would declare environmental activists, anti-fascists, etc as “domestic violent extremists.”

Symbols such as “ACAB” as used to “ID extremists”
List of extremist categories 

Racially violent extremists 
Animal rights / environmental 
Abortion related
Anti-government / anti-authority
All other domestic terrorism threats FBI page detailing symbols of “anarchist violent extremism”

Update: 1,040 rounds of nonlethal ammunition were fired by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) at anti-ICE protesters in DTLA on June 8th. 669 were 40 mm rubber bullets. They were pulling rounds from boxes as shown below. The dept documented causing only six injuries from the muntions.
Officers in riot gear pull rounds of less lethal ammo from cardboard boxes. A cop in riot gear points a green gun at someone. Below him are spent ammo casings and box of ammo next to him.

And of course, your local law enforcement who will help them

(But somehow people still want to think the police are on their side 🥴)

The national guard and marines had nothing to do with the raids in Los Angeles. That was security theater related to the protests. ICE / CBP / DHS are who you need to worry about.
