No fear: This young man has more bravery and everything to lose, but he is showing up to fight. We need people in both chambers to take some cues from him. I am sick of Wall Street Dems and autocratic followers on the reich. Rise ⬆️ !

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

To better prepare for this violent insurrection, Marines and the National Guard are being taught how to line dance.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles.

This is California.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Trump keeps lying. If you want to understand the truth about sending in troops, replace the word "bad people" with "brown people." He's a racist dictator. Period.

The idea that LA would be in flames without his help is beyond laughable. It's BULLSHIT.

Reporters need to call him on ALL his lies!

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest?

Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Jan 6th, Trump didn't call national guard bc violence was for him, wanting fear imposed on those who opposed him. He immediately calls national guard in LA, against those with audacity to oppose his views. He wants to incite fear, suppress, and show what he can do around US If you oppose him.

If anyone needs a reminder of what January 6th looked like:

Watch out, when Trump creates a media frenzy it's to cover some behind the scenes bullshit that will help the rich & hurt the poor.

Republicans & Trump are up to something beyond what they're doing LA, possibly with his bill.

He's getting 2 birds with 1 stone! We must be diligent!

happihare.bsky.social @happihare.bsky.social · Jun 10

LA's police have handled far greater crowds and protest sizes, this was a peaceful protest.

Watch out, usually when Trump creates some media frenzy it's to cover up some behind the scenes bullshit taking away additional rights of the people.

HERE is what is really happening on the ground in LA.

Ya, know where Trump is sending troops to go after America citizens exercising first amendment rights.
