Photo of Lety and the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy standing in front of a mastodon museum exhibit under warm, indoor lighting. From top to bottom, Lety is shown wearing a short, white, long-sleeve dress with red floral print and brown sandals. Her body is roughly facing the camera, the Creature in her arms, as she turns her and the Creature back towards her left to look up at the massive fossilized skeleton of an American mastodon. On the floor between Lety and the skeleton is an exhibit sign reading “American mastodon”, “(Mammut americanum)”, “2 million to 10,000 years ago”, with a map showing the species' historical range across North America and some other out-of-focus text. In the background are several other museum visitors viewing smaller fossil displays in glass cases along a back wall.

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy sitting at the base of a rose bush and smelling some flowers during a bright afternoon. The Creature is on the concrete edging separating a mulched rose bed and a lush green lawn, its body perpendicular to the camera and facing image-left. Its trunk is pointed directly at two low-hanging Rosa “Piñata” blossoms.

Muther f⁕⚠︎ers

A 28-yo #pregnant #woman set to give birth as early as next week is speaking out about being detained by #immigration authorities in #California, even after telling agents she was a #UScitizen.

Cary López Alvarado lost her balance as agents "shoved her" during her arrest over the weekend, she tearfully told NBC #LosAngeles from a #hospital bed. “That’s when I kind of leaned forward, trying to protect the stomach.”

Well I'm about to make a lot of money, and make an EXAMPLE.

I need lawyer for patient abuse.

One of the supervisors just wrote me up for having #tourettes and then called me a liar for like 10 minutes and told me I needed a better facility.

Soul Housing Recuperative Care, 1540 S Saint Andrews Pl #losangeles

I have a mountain of evidence for me and other people. I record.

It will be money for any #lawyers here.

I'm making a documentary too.

Do you have any idea how long it takes to do custom transitions for like 70 #photos ?

About 5 hours apparently so you better like this because I deserve like 100 bucks for this if someone was paying me to make it.

I do accept donations if you're so inclined but I never expected a dime.

So, let me get this straight. A California senator started to ask questions the DHS Secretary didn't want to answer and was *forceably removed* from the press conference? A press conference about DHS activity in the state he represents, about his constituents being disappeared.

Photo of some Japanese foods on an outdoor concrete table at a park during noon. From left to right, the foods shown are strawberry-flavored Japanese matcha green tea from matcha LOVE, salmon and tuna nigirizushi, cherry blossom–themed lima bean mochigashi from Fugetsu-Do, and cherry blossom matcha cream–covered biscuit sticks from Pocky. Things are heavy here, but I took a moment to share lunch with some of my beloved's favorite foods and lasting memories. Two years gone, but love never leaves.

The #Pentagon says the unnecessary deployment of #NationalGuard members & #Marines to #protests over #immigration raids in #LosAngeles is costing $134M.

After persistent questioning from #Democrats in #Congress on Tues, #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth turned to his acting comptroller, Bryn Woollacott MacDonnell, who provided the total & said the money will come from operations & maintenance accounts.

Having been living in downtown LA during the 1992 LA Riots... there is not a riot going on, it's protesters, pissed off people, jumpy cops/military with tear gas. (though, the right wingers would like to spark a riot and/or start a police riot, so the fascists can start shooting people for real). #LosAngeles

From what I can tell, #Marriot has become a Nazi Bar. All the hotels in LA that I'm hearing that ICE agents are staying at are various flavors of Marriots. Plan your next vacations accordingly...

…after the US #military announced that 700 #Marines would join the now 5,000 #NationalGuard #troops in #LosAngeles on Wednesday, escalat[ing] the [admin’s unlawful] military response — an exceedingly rare use of active-duty #troops on #domestic soil — #Trump suggested on Tues that the #LAprotests were petering out, & gave himself credit. “By doing what I did, I stopped the violence in LA.”

Well, the #PosseComitatusAct has officially been violated.

#NationalGuard troops have detained #civilians in #LAprotests, commander says

National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the #LosAngeles #protests over #immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to *#LawEnforcement* [the 30 second rule is only for food fools].

#RiotPolice use force against #LA #protesters

Police in riot gear turned out Friday evening in a tense confrontation w/protesters in #LosAngeles, after a day of #immigration #raids in which dozens of people were reported to be taken into custody.

Live Reuters video showed #LAPD officers lined up on a downtown street wielding #batons, & firing what appeared to be #TearGas rifles…after authorities had ordered…protesters to disperse…
