Important piece from 2024 re what was expected.

MSM just blew it. Anyone w a lick of sense knew what was coning.

Big shot award winning newsrooms either knew and failed to report or didnt know. Hard to say which is worse.

For non-Californians, if you're wondering why everyone's 👀:

HB is the place where anti-lockdown measures started during Covid (and you probably saw it on the news), and it has a reputation for conservatives/MAGA/white nationalist types.

There is a LONG history there.

ICE & CBP have been out kidnapping people in Los Angeles every day since June. The media has moved on and acts like this isn’t still happening. The crises are ongoing. Solidarity with the people fighting back in Minneapolis and everywhere.
please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Whose city is it?? It’s ours?? WTAF!? It’s what an invading army says when landing on some foreign shore in a poorly written war film. He thinks he’s Robert Duvall. Let’s just say he’s miles from Charlie Don’t Surf.

Again, there is no legislative fix for the magnitude of the authoritarian crimes being committed daily. Everyone is just pretending at this point:

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

The charges against protestors announced today by Bondi were very clearly done with producing #content as the first priority and law enforcement a distant second. The decision to wave mugshots around is already harming DOJ's credibility in court www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/u...

i just don't think it's a secret! trump's approval among independents is 28%! he has been sharply underwater on immigration since July of last year!

moderation is not the halfway point on every issue. concentration of measure means there are no voters there.
“nooooo unlike all the wreckers *I* have perfectly reasonable expectations of a secret majority of Americans who are just waiting to support Dems if only they do what i want” why would anyone believe this

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

ICE & CBP never left Los Angeles. In fact, today the feds set a daily record for number of kidnappings.

Do not fall for the trap of “X says they’re leaving the city.” LA may have disappeared from the headlines but it’s still going on. We must continue to organize & fight back. Solidarity 🖤
