A suspected fed. agent is seen exiting a Dodge Charger @ an intersection & pointing his gun @ members of the public. Acc. to #Pasadena officials, the vehicle's license plate is a "cold plate," or untraceable, which is typically used by law enforcement in undercover criminal operations. "One question is this a law enforcement agent or someone pretending to be a law enforcement agent, & there is no good answer" (Mayor Gordo).
#JDVance is traveling to #LosAngeles Friday to meet w/ #Marines & visit federal command centers.
Vanceโs office did not release a reason for his visit. But #LA has been the epicenter of #protests against the #Trump adminโs #MassDeportation ops.
Trump deployed #NationalGuard troops to LA this month in response to the protests. #California sued for a #TRO to stop the deployment, but a federal appeals court ruled in Trumpโs favor Thurs night while litigation continues.
"Pussy Riot showed solidarity on No Kings' Day, participating in the march in Los Angeles on Saturday. They joined the demonstration while displaying a red banner that read, 'It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Russia.'
The march in downtown Los Angeles drew about 20,000 people, and was one of 2,000 locations that held 'No Kings' Day protests against the president, who has deployed the National Guard and the Marines to L.A. over protests opposing his administration’s aggressive raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The protests were held on the same day Trump threw an expensive military parade on his 79th birthday in Washington, D.C.

"Pussy Riot showed solidarity on No Kings' Day, participating in the march in Los Angeles on Saturday. They joined the demonstration while displaying a red banner that read, 'Itโs Beginning to Look a Lot Like Russia.'
The march in downtown Los Angeles drew about 20,000 people, and was one of 2,000 locations that held 'No Kings' Day protests against the president, who has deployed the National Guard and the Marines to L.A. over protests opposing his administrationโs aggressive raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The protests were held on the same day Trump threw an expensive military parade on his 79th birthday in Washington, D.C.
Pussy Riot co-founder Nadya Tolokonnikovaโs 'Police State' installation at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA was postponed Sunday, when the National Guard was deployed. 'Due to evolving conditions in downtown Los Angeles and the proximity of The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA to ongoing demonstrations and military activity near the Los Angeles Federal Detention Facility, the museum has made the decision to adjust its operating hours and event schedule out of concern for the safety of staff and visitors,' MOCA said on its website. The 10-day exhibit was originally set to conclude tomorrow, with a panel and performance of Siberia. The rescheduled dates have not yet been released.
In a statement regarding Pussy Riotโs participation in the 'No Kings' march, Tolokonnikova reflected on Russia and the current state of the world in relation to her exhibit. 'Itโs not quite a penal colony here, but a halfway house,' she said. 'Once again, when I write a statement or a song, a demon on my left shoulder is whispering: โHow much is too much? Will this get you jailed or not quite yet??โ The answer is โ idfk. When the law is being used not to protect freedoms, put to punish โ selectively and voluntarily โ those who speak out, no lawyer can tell you whatโs safe, and whatโs not. As my Russian lawyer used to say, 'Nadya, stop asking me whatโs safe โ if you want to be safe, leave Russia.'
Tolokonnikova said that she refused to leave her home country, until she realized 'If I stayed, Iโd spend the rest of my life behind bars.' She added that Russian President Vladimir Putin promised 'safety and stability' and instead is 'waging the bloodiest war in modern Europe.'
'Itโs beginning to feel a lot like Russiaโฆ. Everywhere you go,' she continued.
My job as an artist is to interpret those feelings. I felt that tingle for a bit now, that is why I did the POLICE STATE exhibit,' she said. 'The walls are closing, the camera systems are getting AI upgrades, you have to censor what you say or unidentified masked men will show up at your home, at your work, at your church. One day, leaving the museum, I stepped into an actual police state โ rows of police assaulting peaceful protesters.'
'I guess you could say itโs my first artistic collaboration with the United States Military,' she concluded. 'Now we are on the street protesting alongside people who believe immigrants make America great.'"
Helicopter live showing the #NoKings protest in #LA from the air. There's a huge huge huge crowd... then over a couple blocks there's another huge crowd, and down the other way there's another and another...
Edit: Reporter (for I think it's channel 7?) just said he estimates there is at least 100,000 people.
Police have arrested a man for handing out face shields to protesters in LA (Iโve also seen reports that he may have been distributing masks)
Why is this a crime? Why is providing PPE to people who are being hit with chemical munitions and rubber bullets an offence?
This is bleak.
Once again this ties back to disability rights.
If more people would help normalize masks; they wouldnโt have such an easy time vilifying them
Ironically these protests are going to lead to more disability, at least in part because police are making it impossible for people to protect themselves.
Marines deployed to #LA carried out the detention of a civilian on Friday, the US #military confirmed after being presented w/ Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty #troops deployed there by #Trump.
โฆJosh Kovensky articulated the depravity of the moment well this afternoon:
In some ways, itโs a microcosm of how the #Trump admin has intentionally conflated #peaceful #protest w/ #criminal activity over the past week. Just as the White House order authorizing the #military deployment to #LA declares that โprotestsโ which โinhibitโ law enforcement โconstitute a form of rebellionโ against the US government, so does a US Senator asking a question at an open presser make him a threat.
(Apparently, per #Noem, #IRS agents have been there in person working to determine what groups are organizing the #protests in the city! Normal stuff!) She then said that the #NationalGuard & #DHS were working to โmake every single community great again & safe againโ before lamenting that the people of #LA were โsufferingโ โunder the policies of Governor Newsom & under the policies of Mayor Bass.โ
The statement said the quiet part out loud: the #military was there to โliberateโ a city from its democratically elected governor & mayor.(It was also not entirely clear what โburdensomeโ actions she was referring to.)
Leading up to this moment in the press briefing, #KristiNoem spent several minutes thanking the #NationalGuard, #FBI, local #LawEnforcement & the #IRS (??) for their efforts on the ground in #LA.
US appeals court late Thurs allowed Trump to maintain his deployment of National Guard #troops in #LA amid #protests over aggressive #immigration enforcement, temporarily pausing a lower court's ruling blocking the mobilization. The #9thCircuit Court of Appeals' decision does not mean the court will ultimately agree w/Trump, but it means he will maintain command of the guard for now. #law reuters.com/world/us/trump-canโฆ

WASHINGTON, June 9 โ Following multiple disturbing incidents in which Los Angeles police and sheriffโs deputies targeted, injured, and obstructed journalists covering public protests, National Press Club President Mike Balsamo issued the following stโฆ
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass talks with Rachel Maddow about how Donald Trump made the situation in her city worse by sending National Guard troop and the Marines to confront immigration protestors who had been peaceful prior to Trump's provocation.ย
And if thatโs what itโs really about, whatโs happening in Los Angeles ๐is just the beginning. โฆ this is all about finding excuses to use force against Trumpโs critics and opponents and justify an anti-democratic power grab.๐"
Yes, I'd expected something like this to happen a month ago, the #InsurrectionAct:
Paramilitรคrisch ausgerรผstete Einsatzkrรคfte der #US-#Einwanderungsbehรถrde #ICE fรผhrt massenhaft oft unter Gewaltanwendung Razzien in #Kalifornien und anderen Bundesstaaten durch und verhaftet auslรคndisch Aussehende am Arbeitsplatz.
DAS ist es, was wirklich passiert! --Auch wenn das hervorragende Foto echt sein sollte, so ist es extrem schรคdlich. Es puscht das falsche Narrativ der Rechten, das die รถffentlichen Ordnung in #LA und #SanFrancisco wieder hergestellt werden mรผsste!
