  1. I remain deeply grateful for our friends, families and allies around the world who have been relentless in swinging hard for us in pursuit of justice and accountability. They’ve been a comfort in the wake of grief and despair.

    June and Deg deserved better. So did my surviving friends. So did I.

  2. This is the best forensic analysis of ICE raid tactics in LA that I've ever read. Incredible work by @koltai.bsky.social, @poojachaudhuri.bsky.social, Youri van der Weide, @msramalho.bsky.social of @bellingcat.com.

    “If they run, we go” -ICE

    ICE has shown no signs of slowing down its raids, which, according to our analysis, appear targeted. From car washes to Home Depots, to a display of force and intimidation, these masked agents have stretched across LA, rounding up people with brown skin.

    Armed officers, frequent use of force and people grabbed on the street or at their places of work. Working with @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org we have monitored the LA raids, discovering recurring trends and tactics used by officers. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/07...

  4. I rent cars from Enterprise when I visit the East Coast every summer. Or I did. Calling company HQ tomorrow to let them know they shouldn't rent to Nazis. Names of the execs at the link.

  5. Anyone concerned that America will quietly succumb to fascism should look at what's happening in LA. This whole thread is wonderful

    If the United States decides to declare war on its own people, so be it. They can't defeat an insurgency overseas and they can't defeat one here

  6. Anyone who knows LA knows that pacifying this city is an impossible order.

    ICE and DHS cannot move around Los Angeles undetected.

    Their every move is transparent from the hotels where they sleep to their morning briefings to their 3-vehicle convoys entering neighborhoods.

    An entire megacity of 13 million people has awoken against them. They're slow and clumsy.
