Holy shit.
Helicopter live showing the #NoKings protest in #LA from the air. There's a huge huge huge crowd... then over a couple blocks there's another huge crowd, and down the other way there's another and another...
Edit: Reporter (for I think it's channel 7?) just said he estimates there is at least 100,000 people.

We have a friend that’s an #immigration attorney in #LA and she’s losing her shit. Her work with clients is being used to kidnap them. They’re grabbed if they appear for a hearing, regardless of the judge’s ruling. And even if with her help they were adjudicated to live and work in the US decades ago, the record of that fact is used by ICE to kidnap them. So her phone is ringing off the hook *and* all the tear-gassing and gunplay and kidnapping is occurring at her place of work.

To any National Guard personnel reading this message:
Refuse unlawful orders. Refuse to treat your own country like a warzone. You do not want to live the rest of your life with that guilt. Trust me, I speak to you as a veteran with many regrets, who has to live with the effects of moral injury every day. Do not obey. #LA #NationalGuard #ICE
PEPPER SPRAY PAIN RELIEF
I was a volunteer subject in these randomized, double-blind trials to find a treatment for pepper spray discomfort. The only thing found to be better than water was a 1:1 solution of water and liquid antacid — aluminum hydroxide or magnesium hydroxide-based, such as Maalox or Mylanta. Use plain or mint, but a physician and street medic friend asked me to stress that *mint* is best.
“The Black Cross Healthcare Collective was a group of healthcare workers who lived in Portland, Oregon. They formed after the WTO protests of 1999, after seeing a need for medical care that specifically served people who were attending direct actions, demonstrations and political protests.”
"In the early 2000s they pioneered community-supported trials to find an antidote to pepper spray. These trials resulted in an antidote that has been used in street protests internationally.”

Trump’s decision to deploy #troops came in direct opposition to the wishes of Gov #GavinNewsom & #LA Mayor #KarenBass, both #Democrats, who said that local authorities have it under control.

700 Marines are being sent to LA to try and stop those who are fighting to protect their immigrant friends and neighbours.
Two journalists have already been shot with “less lethal” ammunition, one of whom required emergency surgery.
They’re shooting at the press.
They seem to want this situation to escalate and they want to silence the brave reporters trying to do their jobs.
Don’t let them. Keep speaking out. Amplify posts from those who are on the ground sharing what’s happening .
Speak up against atrocities. Don’t look away.

#Trump can keep #NationalGuard deployed to #LosAngeles for now, appeals court rules
US appeals court late Thurs allowed Trump to maintain his deployment of National Guard #troops in #LA amid #protests over aggressive #immigration enforcement, temporarily pausing a lower court's ruling blocking the mobilization.
The #9thCircuit Court of Appeals' decision does not mean the court will ultimately agree w/Trump, but it means he will maintain command of the guard for now.

Did you know it’s not just two journalists who’ve been shot while covering the LA anti-ICE protests?
It’s many more. They appear to be targeting the press. Trying to silence them. Dissuade them from reporting on what is one of the most important issues America is facing.
Does the country want to submit to a fascist authoritarian?
Or do they want to fight back?
LA has chosen to fight back. And journalists are showing up to cover it. As they should.
Adam Rose is keeping a running tally on a thread on Bluesky. Highly recommend checking it out.
here’s some of the injured:
Ryanne Mena, shot with pepper balls
Sean Becker-Carmitchel, hit multiple times
Anthony Cabassa hit in face with chemical munition
Ryanne and Sean were hit again the next day, with a tear gas cannister
No name has been given but reports of someone from KTLA being hit with less lethal ammo and going to urgent care
Lauren Tomasi hit with less lethal ammo
Nick Stern shot with less lethal ammo and requires emergency surgery
These people were clearly identifying themselves as members of the press
They were there to do their jobs
And at least in the case of Lauren Tomasi, there’s video evidence which appears to show an officer taking clear aim and firing directly at her
Say their names.
Speak up.
The public need to know the risks the press are taking just to attempt to bring truth to the masses.
The Regime have been attempting to silence, sue and throttle the press since day one.
We shouldn’t tolerate any direct attacks on them.

Police have arrested a man for handing out face shields to protesters in LA (I’ve also seen reports that he may have been distributing masks)
Why is this a crime? Why is providing PPE to people who are being hit with chemical munitions and rubber bullets an offence?
This is bleak.
Once again this ties back to disability rights.
If more people would help normalize masks; they wouldn’t have such an easy time vilifying them
Ironically these protests are going to lead to more disability, at least in part because police are making it impossible for people to protect themselves.

"Pussy Riot showed solidarity on No Kings' Day, participating in the march in Los Angeles on Saturday. They joined the demonstration while displaying a red banner that read, 'It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Russia.'
The march in downtown Los Angeles drew about 20,000 people, and was one of 2,000 locations that held 'No Kings' Day protests against the president, who has deployed the National Guard and the Marines to L.A. over protests opposing his administration’s aggressive raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The protests were held on the same day Trump threw an expensive military parade on his 79th birthday in Washington, D.C.
Pussy Riot co-founder Nadya Tolokonnikova’s 'Police State' installation at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA was postponed Sunday, when the National Guard was deployed. 'Due to evolving conditions in downtown Los Angeles and the proximity of The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA to ongoing demonstrations and military activity near the Los Angeles Federal Detention Facility, the museum has made the decision to adjust its operating hours and event schedule out of concern for the safety of staff and visitors,' MOCA said on its website. The 10-day exhibit was originally set to conclude tomorrow, with a panel and performance of Siberia. The rescheduled dates have not yet been released.
In a statement regarding Pussy Riot’s participation in the 'No Kings' march, Tolokonnikova reflected on Russia and the current state of the world in relation to her exhibit. 'It’s not quite a penal colony here, but a halfway house,' she said. 'Once again, when I write a statement or a song, a demon on my left shoulder is whispering: ‘How much is too much? Will this get you jailed or not quite yet??’ The answer is – idfk. When the law is being used not to protect freedoms, put to punish – selectively and voluntarily – those who speak out, no lawyer can tell you what’s safe, and what’s not. As my Russian lawyer used to say, 'Nadya, stop asking me what’s safe – if you want to be safe, leave Russia.'
Tolokonnikova said that she refused to leave her home country, until she realized 'If I stayed, I’d spend the rest of my life behind bars.' She added that Russian President Vladimir Putin promised 'safety and stability' and instead is 'waging the bloodiest war in modern Europe.'
'It’s beginning to feel a lot like Russia…. Everywhere you go,' she continued.
My job as an artist is to interpret those feelings. I felt that tingle for a bit now, that is why I did the POLICE STATE exhibit,' she said. 'The walls are closing, the camera systems are getting AI upgrades, you have to censor what you say or unidentified masked men will show up at your home, at your work, at your church. One day, leaving the museum, I stepped into an actual police state – rows of police assaulting peaceful protesters.'
'I guess you could say it’s my first artistic collaboration with the United States Military,' she concluded. 'Now we are on the street protesting alongside people who believe immigrants make America great.'"

#LA #Dodgers denied #ICE agents access to #DodgerStadium parking lot
The #LosAngeles Dodgers on Thurs said they had denied ICE agents access to the parking lot at Dodger Stadium earlier in the day.
"This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium & requested permission to access the parking lots," the team said in a social media post.
"They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight's game will be played as scheduled."

Vance’s office did not release a reason for his visit. But #LA has been the epicenter of #protests against the #Trump admin’s #MassDeportation ops.
Trump deployed #NationalGuard troops to LA this month in response to the protests. #California sued for a #TRO to stop the deployment, but a federal appeals court ruled in Trump’s favor Thurs night while litigation continues.

A federal judge blocked the #Trump admin on Friday from making indiscriminate #immigration arrests in the #LosAngeles area & denying detainees the right to consult with a lawyer.…
The California judge granted 2 TROs in response to a lawsuit filed last week by immigrant advocacy groups. A fuller hearing is expected in the coming weeks, but the initial rulings represent a sharp rebuke of the tactics that federal agents have employed in & around #LA….
