"Meanwhile in LA, day 5 begins looking the same. Police lines everywhere.
Last night police continued to abuse the public, firing off rounds without provocation."

"LA is not happy that the marines have arrived.
One guy tried to stop the marines from arriving. He blocked them on the highway, but was arrested."

"LAUSD is now using school police to provide safe zones for students amid ICE raids.
They’ll be doing this for graduation ceremonies after Friday’s ICE raids caused panic and lockdowns at grade school graduation ceremonies."

"A woman marches in front of the armed men, waving an inverted US flag. We are in distress.
It is pure dystopia. Not a single crowd member armed, facing an army of guns and batons.
The crowd begins to chant. Abolish ICE. The police give them 5 minutes to leave."

"In LA the horses are headed in.
In Santa Ana protesters square off against an unknown force. They are not city cops and I can’t tell if they’re ICE either. But then we can’t really identify ICE. It’s all the same now."

"This is why many of us on the academic side said that if troops get deployed in to blue cities, they will be used for anything The federal government wants them to do no matter what and they will never leave once stationed in a blue city, it’s an occupation of what they see as enemy territory."

"This is something the Republicans have talked about both publicly and privately both in their think tanks and prayer meetings as well as in right wing and fascist chat rooms for decades. They see blue state cities as enemy territory that must be conquered and they are dead serious about it."

"The other reality is the longer they occupy a single blue city. The more likely it is that they will increase their violence and anti-Democratic on the ground action in other places attempting to split the population and popular pushback."

"As the fifth day of LA anti ICE protests continues, police appear to have surrounded and kettled a number of protestors in downtown, per ABC7 Helicopter.
Hordes of cops descend on the protestors as they are arrested en masse and placed into LAPD busses. Study protest formations if you want to avoid being kettled. Another larger protest is still happening nearby on Alameda/Temple."

"Other group of protestors has taken over 101 freeway again. The group is growing in size & met by only handful of CHP cops.
They've taken over both sides of freeway & CHP car is being smacked w/water bottles as they're outnumbered by protestors.
101 is completely blocked off on both sides. On Sunday, they only held one side before being pushed off. The area they're in is much easier to leave meaning kettle is difficult for cops."

"They are moving fast through the stages of martial law deployment & fascist terror.
We're about to see every blue state invaded by fascist military forces this appears to be it.
In all seriousness as someone who's done this for a long time. This is real deal, they're building pretext to send troops into every democratically held city in effort to invade. They see them as enemy territory to be conquered. Not hyperbole they're at war."

"Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about LA, doing s/th I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: actively maligning people in LA — an American city — in front of U.S. troops.
Troops are applauding.
An Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new. He also mentioned Mayor of LA, and troops *booed.*
Never seen anything like this.
Growing up it was impressed upon me troops do everything they can to avoid overtly political moments."

"I have a hard time mentally processing any claims that Los Angeles is a 'distraction' given that deploying the military if he gets pissed off and also expansively cruel immigration crackdowns were like the top two things he ran on in 2024."

"So all of Downtown Los Angeles is now under curfew from 8pm to 6am. As a resident, I'm somehow exempt though I don't know how I'm supposed to prove it. Despite that, I'm going to get a beer at 8:30 wherever is open because I refuse to modify my life to support Donald Trump and the Republican Party."
The mayor is implementing the curfew because of vandalism by the handful of assholes who can't manage to get with the nonviolent protest program.
