There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Los Angeles population is roughly 4M+ people. It’s a massive city, folks. The combined 4700 National Guard and Marines have been sent to about a 3-block area to aggressively eat lunch and watch peaceful protestors sing and dance. 👇🏽 💃🏽🎶🕺🏼 So now you know. Keep lifting the veil, LA fam!

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Still enraged they cut the NIH Bridges programs. 13 students in my lab came as CC students through Bridges. Students who had little/no support or guidance before. They could now be in lab instead of needing to make ends meet off-campus. Most are now in PhD progs (incl GRFP awardees) or applying. 1/2

Documents reveal how military contractors want to take over mass deportations

The group, led by Blackwater veteran Erik Prince, has close Trump ties.

It's probably going to be lost on a lot of people, especially those that hate LA, but emergency response teams have been phenomenal. Warning efforts for evacuation have been phenomenal and have saved a lot of lives.
