BREAKING: We are with hundreds of federal agents and military as a massive federal immigration enforcement operation is underway in the MacArthur Park area of the sanctuary city of Los Angeles, an area with heavy MS-13 influence. Mayor Bass has demanded raids stop, Feds respond with one of the largest yet, including Border Patrol agents on horseback.
Protesters already showing up.

HUGE admission by El Salvador here; it completely puts to lie the Trump admin’s repeated claims in court that it has no control over people sent to El Salvador to be imprisoned without trial. El Salvador told the United Nations definitively; these people are being held under U.S. jurisdiction.

The ICE agents aren’t insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals, they’re the police. This is what the police look like, this is how the police operate.

deportations are about more than losing labor in this country. a lot of the time, they’re about deciding what parts of you you’d grieve the least if you had to leave them behind. i wrote about that here: open.substack.com/pub/aandanot...

I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.

This picture may haunt me to the end of my days. It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man. An axe taken to a car window and to our democracy. 1/ #MomSky

ICE agents, like too many police in this country, have become judge, jury. and executioner. We need a serious effort to shame them for what they are doing. They are the machinery of the fascist operation.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

PEACE POLICE ARE POLICE! This is an important resource you should read and share with your comrades. How Protest Marshals Sabotage Liberation and Protect the State, by some abolitionists in LA: trueleappress.wordpress.com/2024/03/05/p...

Cover of zine “peace police are police HOW PROTEST MARSHALS SABOTAGE LIBERATION AND PROTECT THE STATE
DECEMBER 2023

RESISTANCE AS LIBERATION: FREEYOURSELF
Nothing about peace policing is necessary. We dont need to rely on specially designated people who are given authority to keep us safe. We each possess the authority, judgment, and autonomy to keep each other safe. This is a responsibility we should hone collectively. We do not need to rely on marshals to block off intersections: we will do it on our own. Our hands and eyes are as good as theirs. Our voices are just as loud. Let every protester take on whatever role they can. By participating in the process of keeping us safe, we can both ensure that our protests are secure and grow everyone's skills and instincts.
In Blessed is The Flame: An Introduction to Concentration Camp Resistance and Anarchonihilism, author Serafinski describes efforts at violent resistance and sabotage within Nazi concentration camps. They explain: "The nihilist concepts of negation... resonate deeply with these acts of sabotage, offering a framework through which we might think about acts of resistance not as a means of liberation, but as acts of liberation in themselves."
By taking action yourself, you are liberating yourself even for just a moment from the grip of the state, from police control, and from hierarchy itself. At a time when political and economic possibilities are so bleak, these acts of liberation are meaningful, beautiful, and mobilizing. They should be encouraged and held up! We should teach about and defend our right to such liberation at every turn. Peace police strip us of the learning and liberation that can be won from protests, instead reproducing the hierarchies, fear, and discipline that are used to maintain oppression.
The most beautiful moments of a protest are when police are afraid, perplexed, or on the run. The purpose of peace policing is to mitigate all that. When we depend on peace police to mediate the state's governance of a protest, we sacrifice our autonomous power. We fall into a position of dependence, as tho..
