They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

As corporate media bows to Trump, public broadcasting has never been more important to our democracy.
Public radio stations reach 98% of Americans. If they close, millions lose access to critical news.
Trump is trying to control not just what we do, but what we know. Be warned.

Why is Trump so hell-bent on defunding PBS?
It’s part of a larger plan – one where he can control not just what we do, but what we think.

“The methods Trump threatened in Los Angeles this weekend could be much more effective in November 2026 than the attempted civilian coup of January 2021,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social:
