“This…is an expression of obvious contempt for the Supreme Court—& for the rule of law. The administration is maintaining that it has the power to send armed agents of the state to grab someone off the street & then, without a shred of due process, deport them to a Gulag in a foreign country & leave them there forever. The crucial point here is that the administration’s logic means that it could do the same to American citizens.” #resist https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/04/bukele-trump-court-order/682432/

Signs from today’s rally. There were lots of good ones, but I was too shy to go around asking for pictures, or trying to be covert about it.

Misleading photos, videos & texts have spread widely on social #media as #protests against #immigration #raids unfolded in #LosAngeles, rehashing old conspiracy theories‘ to support #Trump’s actions.
The flood of falsehoods appears intended to stoke outrage toward #immigrants & #Democrats.

Trump told Springsteen to shut up. He didn’t.
His new album includes his Manchester, UK intro to “My City in Ruins,” telling the audience that in the United States the authorities were “persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent.” He said that the nation was cutting aid to the poor, abandoning allies, rolling back civil rights protections, defunding universities and deporting people without due process. #Springsteen #resist #music https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/arts/music/bruce-springsteen-e-street-band-ep-trump.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Egregious ruling: #SCOTUS lifted a lower court order blocking the SSA from granting access to the agency’s sensitive data to affiliates of the #DOGE.
The court separately paused a lower ct’s order that required DOGE to turn over docs as part of a lawsuit claiming the entity, like other govt agencies, should be subject to federal records requests.
DOGE will be able to access data on millions of Americans...

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.
#ice #abolishice #uspol #fascism #journalism #la #losangeles #resist
For those trying to say the men who attacked Sen #Padilla didn't know who he is or bec he wasn't wearing a Congressional lapel pin or a name tag as an excuse for their actions - #KristiNoem, present in the room, most definitely knows who he is & could have called off her thugs at any time. She didn't
Weak excuse by a bunch of #fascist liars
As Sen Padilla said afterward, if they will treat a US Senator the way they did ON CAMERA, what do you think will happen to anyone else
We made some new signs for our local No Kings protest tomorrow! 🚫👑🪧💪
I had to wrap them in plastic wrap tonight because we might get rain tomorrow. Maybe it'll hold off for us. Good luck everyone & please be safe!

Every 4th of July, I'm the event photographer for celebrations in Monterey, CA where I work promoting small business. Nicknamed locally as the "Language Capital of the World" its remarkable diversity is always on display at its annual 4th of July parade and other celebrations.
Well, that's in a normal year. Unfortunately the mood in Northern California as it has elsewhere in the United States has descended into a pall of fear and anxiety. It was shocking to see the proudly diverse city of Monterey have the whitest and straightest celebration that I never thought I'd see anywhere in my home state much less in my own backyard.
Uh wait... hold on... (Continued)

Good news.
“While it does not take a federal judge to recognize that marauding bands of masked, rifle-toting goons have been violating ordinary people’s rights throughout Southern California,” he said, “we are hopeful that today’s ruling will be a step toward accountability for the federal government’s flagrant lawlessness that we have all been witnessing.” #Gift #Resist #ICE https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/us/immigration-raids-judge-injunction.html?unlocked_article_code=1.V08._vUp.Dehy8cnOg4sa&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
