Federal immigration officials squared off with protesters in Los Angeles County on Saturday using tear gas and flash-bang grenades. The unrest comes just a day after raids were conducted through the city of Los Angeles.
Note that the violence, as usual, is almost entirely on the part of the cops
That’s why we’re here. ICE hit and run a protestor, protestors began throwing cinder blocks and M80s, ICE deployed tear gas, now the National Guard is dispatched.
Hegseth has the Marines standing by, and the Insurrection Act will be next. This is what happens when we get violent before we have the numbers to fight. We’re fucked because people are acting on emotion and completely unaware that this is Trump’s Reichstag Fire.
Fascism will escalate regardless, in the absence of real resistance they will simply lie to justify doing what they were always planning to do anyway, passively accepting their actions will do nothing to help, resistance is the only correct answer and it will absolutely have to be violent
We should fight back

The VAST majority is peaceful. Many are throwing rocks. A few are taking even further.
I get that they’re pissed, but this isn’t the solution. Refusing to walk into a trap isn’t cowardice, it’s strategy.
You watched and learned nothing, resistance isn’t a trap and your passivity won’t save you
I keep seeing this, but I don’t know how much I’d trust another US government entity.
The GI Rights Hotline isn’t a government entity, it’s not like the Fraud Waste and Abuse hotline or anything. It’s a private coalition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GI_Rights_Network
