I love how everyone is appalled at the very concept of arresting the President of Israel, like we didn’t black-bag the President of Venezuela earlier this year.
🚨This is exactly how ICE agents create the very situations they later use to justify murdering citizens.
In the video, they box in the vehicle of a U.S. citizen. They approach with guns already drawn, and try to open her car door… while repeatedly ordering her to unlock it, and ignoring anything she says.
And notice how they don’t identify themselves. They don’t explain why she’s being detained. They don’t tell her what crime they suspect her of committing.
To the person inside the car, it’s just a group of masked, armed men surrounding her vehicle and trying to force their way in.
That’s how panic starts.
And when people panic, move their car, or try to get away from what they reasonably perceive as a violent threat, ICE agents open fire, and later claim the vehicle was “used as a weapon.”
Law enforcement cannot detain people without legal justification. The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures, and officers are expected to clearly communicate their authority, and the basis for their actions.
They are supposed to de-escalate situations.
Instead, they use tactics to create fear and confusion… making it more likely someone will panic, and easier for agents to claim deadly force was necessary, while they violate the person’s constitutional rights.
When these tactics become standard practice, accountability becomes nonexistent.
The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.
"I'm likely to be the most American person on this panel. My family members have fought in every war that Americans have ever fought including the Civil War, in which my relatives fought in the United Colored Troops for their own freedom, & the freedom of all Black people in America. There's been a lot of talk about the founding fathers, but birthright citizenship comes from the 14th amendment, which was established after the Civil War to give Black Americans who had been brought here via chattel slavery citizenship rights in the country that they had been brought to against their will. The Statue of Liberty, a symbol that has become synonymous with immigration rights, was actually gifted by France to the United States to commemorate the end of slavery. So understandably, my feelings about this country to which my ancestors were brought as slaves is complicated."

Yesterday the UN commission of inquiry published a report detailing how Israel deliberately targets & kills Palestinian children
Abdul El-Sayed: “AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism and the Jewish people. I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people. The single most dangerous thing they’ve tried to tell us is somehow they can extend the definition of antisemitism to include a foreign government and its leaders. I call bullshit”
Keep fighting the power. ✊🏼

Imagine having the OPPORTUNITY to make LA City Hall work better, more democratic, more responsive, & more transparent and accountable? 🤔
The status-quo bureaucrats & the political establishment are fighting HARD against those Charter Reforms and they are gaslighting all of you.
Mientras se celebra el Mundial en EEUU, los agentes de la Gestapo de Trump, el ICE, andan secuestrando y electrocutando a la gente por las calles solo por parecer latino.
Vean como torturaron a este hombre con un taser, aún siendo 5 contra 1... era un ciudadano estadounidense legal, que hacía de voluntario comunitario en un barrio latino.
Solo imaginen que en Rusia, China o algún pais así enemigo de EEUU, se celebrara un mundial en estas condiciones, te lo contarían hasta con mensajes en avionetas.
