Massive federal kidnapping operation happening at MacArthur park right now. Armed Gestapo thugs are attempting to take over the neighborhood. There is a call for community support. MacArthur park now.
FEDS BLOCKING OFF ACCESS TO. MACARTHUR PARK Right now - armed Feds are surrounding MacArthur park right now. There is a call for community support right now! MACARTHUR PARK NOW!
Here’s some really good reporting by Poppy Press, which reveals, through university emails, that UCLA partners with SKDK, a registered foreign agent of israel, to craft its narrative on protests. I found it really striking that they lump antisemitism/protests together.



While sad to read, I’m not surprised by Daily Bruin’s regurgitation of admin talking points (which were very likely developed in part by a registered foreign agent of israel). When I was a reporter, I often couldn’t tell where admin’s narrative ended & where my reporting began.
In addition to this firm being a revolving door for genocidaires of the Biden administration, emails also reveal an unfortunate lack of journalistic inquiry by the @dailybruin, whose articles served as stenography of university talking points.
We need to talk about how courts “bar” people from public areas, and how this is especially used against Black men. This is unconstitutional, and the practice quite literally endorses racial profiling. People should not be incarcerated for 10+ years because a cop recognized them.
She needs to be out at every ICE raid. The community has shown up more than any elected official has.
This is footage from today in MacArthur Park. Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through. The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.
To live and fight in LA. Anti-ICE protest. Demonstrators build and take cover behind hand built barricades outside LA City Hall. LAPD fired 600 rounds of rubber bullets before dispersing the group with tear gas. 6/9/25
CBP brought a woman they were attempting to kidnap to UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center bc she had a probable seizure. UCLA staff gave into CBP bc she was already in custody upon her arrival. She was not adequately treated for a seizure. She’s been taken. This is barbaric.
❤️only certificate that matters to me❤️ no one is free until all of us are free

Israel has cut all communications in Gaza and is executing the final solution on its 2m inhabitants.
A pretty shocking clip from today. An LAPD officer on horseback tramples a protester who then falls in front of another horse. As others try to help the protester up, an LAPD officer wields a blunt weapon to strike the protester, but strikes a nearby horse in the head.
BREAKING: Moments ago in Boyle Heights, CA, two federal immigration vehicles rammed into a white sedan carrying three individuals. Agents then appeared to fire a chemical agent into the car before detaining the driver. A woman in the vehicle, sounding visibly shaken, insisted…
BREAKING: Los Angeles FD showing support for protestors!
Watch as reality is manufactured live on @CNN. @ErinBurnett Just blatantly lied about protestors in LA. Using the police's own ammunition fired AT protestors, she stated that the PROTESTORS were actually firing 40mm foam baton rounds at the police.
🚨 NOW: LAPD has declared everyone under arrest, protesters and press included. There’s no way out. Kettled in. Cameras rolling. Even the media is feeling what happens when law stops asking questions and starts issuing commands. History isn’t just being reported tonight. It’s…
California highway patrol really kills the vibe…at hibachi papi in Westwood and they’re just so present. But I booed them😇
hey! don't fall into the good protester bad protester binary! to the state there are no good protesters! don't do their propaganda work for them!
Which, btw, if you want to let ucla know you condemn the suspension of three students for being pro Palestine, sign this letter: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
UPDATE: David Huerta had been released from custody.
