On June 6th, the first day of Trump's Invasion of Los Angeles, I was teargassed for the crime of handing out water at an anti-ICE protest.
My story isn't unique. 1000s of protestors & journalists were brutalized for standing up against fascism.
Join us tomorrow to demand reform & accountability.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

But new data shows that over the last 4 fiscal years, Border Patrol agents in Bovino's sector have used force far more often than they’ve faced assault: https://bit.ly/4hVIh9B

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Trump is defunding the police where he can so he can fill the void with his masked Gestapo. He did it in DC, and he tried it in New York but balked. Additionally, Pam Bondi is investigating the Portland police bureau because they arrested a right wing agitator. Pay attention.

Trump is now gloating about meeting with Russ Vought of "PROJECT 2025 Fame" to apparently determine which "Democrat Agencies" he wants to cut during a shutdown.
Remember when Trump denied knowing about the authoritarian playbook and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass?
