#Immigration #protests in #LosAngeles #LA #California

A lot of online chatter is focusing on the Mexican Flag in the pictures above

This is going to play a certain way for #MAGA, and #FoxNews, etc is going to focus on that and purposefully avoid the American Flags you can see in the crowds as well

'Early Sunday, #Trump wrote on Truth Social that “#MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests.” He wrote, “What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the #NationalGuard for a job well done!”'

There's a lot of violent video out there. I'm going to avoid it, it's lurid. But I want to focus on this video because it speaks to our future:

#Waymo taxis on fire

Going after regular people's cars is dumb. It turns regular people against you

But #Waymos are #robots, easy dumb targets, and there is no threat to human life

Plus they are #corporate #AI assets and represent our growing #enshittification from creepy #techbros

Light 'em up

@benroyce Fires will be treated as arson. Rocks tossed off bridges as felony assault. A broken window as rioting.
Spreading out into 100 small non violent demonstrations would mess with large concentrations of authority. The LA Police Department said that they can handle a large group in just 1 or 2 locations. The National Guard can’t do it either.
@stevewfolds @benroyce please don’t throw rocks off bridges onto cars, that actually kills people.

@maggiejk @stevewfolds

exactly

that plays on Fox News to MAGA and then you get big support for Trump limiting our civil rights and replying with state violence

Protests yes

Violent protests no

@maggiejk @benroyce I am a frail old pacifist who would use my cane to whack anyone near me about to throw anything. :)

@maggiejk What if we aim for ICE vehicles? ;) @stevewfolds @benroyce

(And yes, I'm kidding) (kindof)
