More evidence of DHS attacking unarmed civilians protesting in Los Angeles. I recorded this for the public to witness two protesters taken, detaines by DHS in downtown LA, the Metro Detention Center (MDC).

This occurred on Sat. 8/23/25. I'm sharing these videos on Bsky instead of Meta plats. 1/3

Correct.
DHS' intention is to strike fear into the public, so we hide in submission and let them kidnap our neighbors...

Instead, we do the opposite.
We follow, record, and shame them - without obstructing so as to avoid being charged with crimes.

ICE has continued to enter private businesses (e.g. car washes, Home Despot) in CA. They are not required to present a valid warrant until they have a human in custody.
They may charge bystanders with obstruction of justice. Federal law overrides local & state laws.

The largest rapid response network in this county is @805undocufund.bsky.social . Their volunteer efforts extend through Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.

Their tireless volunteers have observed & recorded DHS activity for months.

Typical raid vehicles have notable features...

#VenturaCounty #California updated list of DHS ICE raid vehicles.

Some have license plates, some are ghost plates, some have none, some switch plates with other vehicles.

These were mainly surveilled at 321 Cortez Circle, #Camarillo, AKA the hole.

Good read about Miller's strategy to push propaganda until the middle of America sleepwalks into accepting an autocracy:

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 8h

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

I teach a history of antifascism course @ruhistorydept.bsky.social and figured I'd start an ongoing thread this semester to share some insights from course readings and recommend some great works on antifascism.

In CA they break state laws all the time. Federal agents claim they are fulfilling their mission under the color of law, so they have qualified immunity.
They run red lights, drive recklessly, drive without plates, etc.
And local law cannot interfere or impede.
