Some absolutely amazing reporting from @acatwithnews.bsky.social & co. today in Los Angeles
LAPD sweeping people out of the MOCA parking lot- I’ll follow up, I believe that’s private property?
Mural says “who is beyond the law? Who is bought and sold? Who is free to choose…” etc.

it is impossible to overstate the extent to which this country is now being run by people you would leave a party rather than talk to for five minutes
they hate music, they hate art, they hate artists, they hate pop, they hate the video games they play, they hate the movies they watch, like, they're just all the worst fucking people you've ever met, none of them believe in anything

Siccing dogs on people is a slave tracker thing, a Bull Connor thing, a police brutality thing, a jackboot thug thing, an evil abuse of both dog and man which only a fully corrupted spirit could enact.
My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

As someone who grew up in Minnesnowda/Minnecolda, I appreciate this thread of helpful tips for ICE & CBP agents visiting the Twin Cities. 😉
Also, I’m flying from LA to MSP to visit family for the holidays and I think I’ll bring a sack of whistles to pass out to folks. Rapid responder solidarity. ✊

Hey, I want to offer some helpful tips for coping with the cold for ICE folks who might have come from warmer places.
1. Wear cotton socks! Cotton is nice and soft next to your skin and will absorb your sweat so your feet stay warm. Cotton everything but ESPECIALLY socks!

Good morning to fuckers in our neighborhood kidnapping our neighbors! Can you see the city skyline? No? You’re wondering if Minneapolis burned down again overnight? Oh no, sweetie. That’s ice crystals in the air . It looks like it will get to around -8F without windchill! Please enjoy your stay!
