Armed, masked federal agents violently abducted U.S. citizen & activist Amanda Trebach in San Pedro for monitoring ICE. This political kidnapping is an attack on our rights. Demand her release now! #ICEOutOfLA #FreeAmanda

if you're mad at a trans person for saying they won't vote for Gavin Newsom

too damn bad! this is our lives! it's not a purity test when it's our lives. of course we're a one issue voter, it's our lives

you could just not nominate Newsom! but everyone knows the risk of that now, you have no excuse

I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA.

While @chrclla.bsky.social focuses its efforts on impact litigation, my team boosts efforts on the ground whenever possible.

What I saw speaks to the crisis in LA & beyond.

Bsky post from @chadloder.bsky.social

"the armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people:

A Samoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died.

A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

[two photos: one of Arthur Folasa Ah Loo (Afa) and one of Arturo Gamboa. Afa is a brown-skinned man, smiling and wearing a brown hat and a yellow shirt. Arturo is a light-skinned man with a mohawk of black hair, smiling and wearing a black leather jacket and black shirt.]

Pretty clear they didn't allow female soldiers either. It's all primarily white men.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance
