As Trump mobilizes the marines to quell an “insurrection” in LA, it’s essential to be clear about how the protests started and what actually happened.

    Best time to take action was yesterday. Next best time is today. I hate sitting around waiting for the inevitable that WE ALL KNOW is going to happen - strike before they’ve fortified their positions!

      I’m in California but I’m near Tahoe about 7 hours from the action. But this thing is getting bigger and I’m fuckin ready to go believe me. I even taught my daughter today how to spot the ice trucks and what to do if she does. I can’t do much in my current position but I will absolutely throw down as soon as I get the chance. I take business trips to La every month and my next one is in 2 weeks. I’ll be using company funds to do whatever I can while there. Fuck the meetings.

        I’m not your boss, but if someone who worked for me said “Sorry boss, couldn’t make it in because I was kicking the shit out of some ICE nazis”, I’d consider that absence excused in a heartbeat.

          Don’t give a fuck off they do or don’t honestly. This shit has got to happen now or it’ll never stop. I’ll be damned if I let my daughter grow up in tyranny.

            As someone who grew up under tyranny, very much this. Fortunately I haven’t suffered the horrors unique to fascism so I can’t speak much to those, but the “keep your head down and watch out for government informants so the secret police doesn’t get you” talk is not a pleasant affair for either party.
