"Soboroff was reporting on the ground in LA when law enforcement🚨started using crowd control tactics against protesters, incl firing flash bangs. He speaks with protesters on the ground & describes the peaceful demonstrations he's seen throughout the day."

LE: #LAPD, #HSI, #ICE, NG, Marines... are inciting #violence. Thankfully, the majority of the #protests continue to be peaceful.

What we know about Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Boelter who killed Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband.

"Vance Boelter was also an outspoken evangelical Christian who traveled to Africa to tell his faith story and, in at least one sermon, pointedly questioned American morals on sexual orientation, according to videos and social media posts reviewed by CNN."

He was impersonating a police officer. #uspol #violence #hortmann #boelter

A woman on the back of a truck shouted through a loudspeaker that the #protest was #peaceful. “The real #violence is coming from the #police,” she said.

Not until 5:08PM, about an hour later, did cellphones show an emergency alert saying an unlawful assembly had been declared.

The #LAPD posted on X that a dispersal order had been announced for those at the federal bldg [like that’s sufficient?!]….

#Trump gutted program aimed at preventing targeted #violence

Trump admin gutted a program that aims to prevent targeted violence as part of its effort to *downsize* the #FederalGovernment, a move that could come under fresh scrutiny after the deadly shooting of state lawmakers in #Minnesota.

The Center for Prevention Programs & Partnerships, part of #DHS, works to reduce violent #extremism through intervention programs in schools, workplaces & government offices.

"It’s going to get worse. Trumpism proceeds by the successive breaking of taboos. Each time a new one is broken, the previous one is normalized, made to look not so bad by comparison. The cuffing of Padilla was a red-line moment. And yet: There’s plenty of reason to worry that in four months, we’ll look back on it as a moment of comparative innocence."

Haven’t Putin and Trump decided Europe and the Middle East must be taken at all costs, after which China, India and Pakistan can be dealt with? If only the ultras had to reap what they sow; it’s all grounded on protecting inequality, injustice, ethnic supremacy and ecocide. Oligarchs, can burn in hell.

“In the past months, the regime has indicted, arrested and/or handcuffed a circuit court judge in Milwaukee, a mayor of a city in New Jersey, a sitting U.S. Congresswoman, and now a sitting U.S. Senator. The pattern is unmistakable, the message loud and clear: ‘Don’t make trouble, or we’ll come for you.’

Notably, all of these officials are women or minorities.“

“The Trump White House would have us believe that this is some kind of isolated incident, and not part of a concerted effort to use force and intimidation against Democratic elected officials. The record lately demonstrates otherwise.”

"Padilla is the son of Mexican immigrants, Santos and Lupe Padilla. He went into politics in 1995 because of the anti-immigrant Proposition 187, the California measure that knocked all undocumented people off of many public services, including schools. He’s been a champion of immigrant communities ever since."
