#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

Yup.

this is what middle America sees. This and the stories about looting and violence.

They will not see the story about the mother or father being separated from their children. They all not see the violence being inflicted by ICE.

All they see is "violent latino criminals" or whatever fox is telling them.

Whatever the points of the protests were, it's lost on a large part of the rest of the country.

@kbsez @benroyce
Faux News was able to use the videos of violence, rioting, and looting at 2020 BLM protests successfully as propaganda and caused Biden to not have a decent Congress to work with and even worse made the election such a close call that it caused J6 to happen.

Political violence is the opposite of helpful. It is just a few people taking out their rage without consideration of the big picture.
