“Excuse me, but I cannot make it in, they might take me, we don’t know what can happen”

“For the last couple of weeks, there have not been any vendors, no eloteros, no paleteros, nothing,”

“All of our youth are Black and brown folks, and we are in Boyle Heights, which, from where I’m sitting, is ground zero for what has been happening in these ICE raids all week.”

Mahmoud Khalil has been ordered to be released!!!

A federal court has ordered the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian political prisoner and Columbia student detained as punishment for his advocacy for Palestinian human rights.

Today marks 104 days since Khalil was first abducted by ICE and DHS on Columbia University property. Since his abduction by the state, Khalil has spent months in immigration detention in Louisiana, a long ways away from his wife Dr. Noor Abdallah. Khalil also missed the birth of his newborn son Deen and has been separated from his wife and newborn since his arrest.

Happy solstice to those who celebrate! For me it just means I can start the countdown to autumn because summer is my least favourite season. 😂

Anyway, these cute asters just popped up in my garden. Not something I planted and I don't know if it's an invasive weed or a friendly pollinator magnet, but I hope it's the latter. That one bee in the photo seems to enjoy it.

It doesn't matter how it starts...

cops will come in & turn any gathering

into

a "violent riot".

They are the ones who bring/initiate the violence

ALWAYS.

They will trample people with horses

& shoot them point blank

to get the reactions from protesters

to fit their narrative of

"violence" & "resistance"

of fucking COURSE the protesters are defending themselves...

there's violent terrorists trying to kill them.
