Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angeles—the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they work—the court has said that can no longer happen.
we are very shocked. That people behave this way.
Finally
Do they bring back the people they already kidnapped? When? Until then it only speaks to one piece of this imposed tragedy.
Only the 75 million people who voted pro-nazi, pro-maga and the 90+ million people who din't bother to vote at all have the ability, and the responsibility, to bring back the disappeared
When people who are acting as ICE are not allowed to be masked, I hope they’re ALL ARRESTED & treated the same as they used on others! They can sleep on concrete with nothing else also!
I hope there will be justice for the ppl harmed/kidnapped/sent to other countries or concentration camps, for their families who don’t know where their loved ones are or what is going to happen, to the children who have witnessed so much. So much injustice served up by this nasty, corrupt regime.
Same.
and since when has the ORANGE TURD ever obeyed the law ??? NEVER NEVER NEVER
if CA can defeat ICE in some way or other, it can be the first step to remove the conman, bcz regardless of whether those immigrants are deportable or not, it's so inhumane. the conman looks dominant simply bcz he got the enforceability, but the coup won't be successful unless using the military.
They routinely ignore court orders, and republicans just stuffed the bovine one on the court of appeals. I can't wait for the Democrats to ignore every one of boves orders. Fuck him
Dems need to fight fire with fire so to speak.
They’re going to do it anyway, and there will be zero repercussions. This is where we are at.
Good, but will they listen?
tRUMP: "SO?"
If they continue building these concentration camps, I would keep your guard up. They’re going to have to put somebody in them-they owe Geo Group and CoreCivic big time.
So have they stopped?
bsky.app/profile/iwil...
Lady, you get the GOLD STAR of the day! You will sleep well. You are part of this big picture. Good job!
I feel for this woman. She just wanted them to LISTEN to her. But they just kept talking amongst themselves, with each other, playing on their phones. She was trying to be helpful in asking for help for the protestors, children returning to school soon, even the LAPD. They just don’t care. How sad.
Yikes. And taxpayers PAY them? For WHAT ?
clerk.lacity.gov/clerk-servic...
She's pathetic.
That's great news, as long as Trump's THUGS OBEY the court order!
In a perfect world this would mean something. But this is as far from perfect as a country can get. This means nothing.
The courts saying this can no longer happen vs what these despicable grifters actually do are two different things. When did they ever listen to what the courts tell them?
Who's gonna tell ICE?
Good job!!!👏
Well, have they actually stopped? How is it being enforced?
#BOOST
I hope this ruling brings some justice and relief to the affected communities and that we stay alert so nothing like this is repeated.
That’s incredibly disturbing to hear, but I’m relieved the court stepped in and put an end to it. No one should ever be targeted based on how they look, speak, or where they work. It’s sad that this was even allowed to happen in the first place.
Okay, but who’s going to stop them?
Have you been to LA lately? LA is going to stop them.
I mean some, but it’s still happening and socials seem to be quashing the videos more and more. Even here on Bluesky. The ppl of LA need and deserve to know they have law enforcement backup.
The People of LA have not had law enforcement backup at any time in my life. They have always defended themselves and they know how to do it. Now, when ICE shows up, the alarm spreads online and with megaphones by organized neighborhood groups. The sons of the Panthers and La Raza turn out!
good on ya✌🏾
Yessss 👏🏼👏🏼💪🏽💪🏽 Californians have never taken any shit!!! Go Cali!
So how do we get those back who this has been done to? How do we retrieve these innocents from the hellhole they are in?
Decorum? Are you fucking kidding me decorum? There’s a guy who says he can openly grab women by the pussy and he’s president don’t tell us about no fucking decorum ever again I never wanna hear that word again from any of these corrupt kangaroo courts or city officials acting like they follow the la
Where are the people they kidnapped???
Sent to other countries.
He’ll mention something about immunity and carry on….
If I do something illegal I get arrested, so who’s going to jail?
Unfortunately, since when does Herr Trumpf obey any court order he doesn't like? He just sends his brownshirts after the judge. This is #Fascism in America, folks.
Wait until they come back to take the homeless to "tent cities." www.npr.org/2024/11/12/n...
Tell that to Trump’s Thugs - also known as ICE
I hope you don’t get re-elected
Unfortunate for ICE if citizens start “standing their ground.”
They do not listen to courts. The bottom dwellers in the Supreme Court have allowed the orange felon free rein.
Great. Now please get on the phone or e-mail and tell your reps that this ruling needs to be enforced. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com
Arrest the kidnappers!!
LAPD officers are predominantly, if not entirely, maga republicans. Whom do you propose we have arrest the ICE Gestapo?
Deputize those gang members ICE is so terrified of.
LOL Most creative idea I’ve read so far. I’m not opposed!
No. Bad idea. And we don’t want violence.
We already have violence. Taking people off the streets and sending them to concentration camps IS violence.
National guard?
That is an interesting idea, but as you recently saw, the president is allowed to overrule the governor’s control of the guard. So we can’t use them to arrest ICE; Cheeto will just countermand the orders.
Much empathy for those already detained and their families…those who do not benefit from this decision.
You, my friend, are an empath. As am I. What a dirty trick pulled on those poor people.
Isn’t stopping them here in Florida AT ALL.
Who is going to make sure it doesn't happen anymore. As long as Trump is in the WH nothing will change.
What’s the end game? You don’t even want foreign visitors? Is he going to close the border eventually, so no one can leave?
There is no "end game." He's deep into his decline into dementia, and he's being herded and corralled by nihilistic shits like Vought and Miller. There's no policy, no plan, no strategy - just unending cruelty and chaos.
Eliminate him, what’s P25’s end game?
Anarchy. They want to rule over the ashes.
Trump wants our tax dollars as his piggy bank. He doesn’t much care what happens.
Who is helping the innocent people who have been disappeared?
I wonder that as well. Who is helping them get out of the death camp prisons, to reunite with their families, to get back to their home country or one in which they’re safe. Who is helping indeed.
Trump will violate the law either way….then what?
Legally and morally, a great victory. But practically, its just one ring of the Trump 🎪Circus and Clown🤡 show closing. Another will open come Monday. Three headlines and/or acts of chaos per week or he can't sleep nights.
Two problems: he disobeys courts and we need those detained released immediately.
Finally!!!
Now is when you start using the 2nd Amendment to uphold your rights against these thugs.
The time is now and quickly passing to arm yourselves. This will not bloodless. Castle Law in California similar to Stand your ground.
Excuse me for hijacking this thread, but I think it's important to get the message out. bsky.app/profile/hocu...
🤬
Omg. That’s terrible. Governments aren’t businesses they are services. They are here for people. 😩
What do they expect when they shut down help for people?
Now she needs to sue the Trump regime to get those people back. LA can't take a victory lap until the ICE hostages are released and safely back home with their families.
#KarenBass #BlueMaga Zionist lobby, corporate slumlord fraud! Get this: she went on @maddow.msnbc.com and in so many words lamented that Latinos had moved into her traditionally black South Central ?¡ They do not represent you! #JeffreyKatzenburg @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/2014/a...
As ICE have taken hostages, shouldn't the correct response to them according to American foreign policy, be similar to what the IDF is doing in Gaza?
The Court doesn’t seem able to enforce shit, pardon my language. MAGA has stacked the SC, so there’s little anyone can do when Trump just needs to cry to them to have rulings tossed. And that’s if he doesn’t just ignore rulings outright. But yeah, yay, the Court says it can’t happen anymore.
I’m happy for LA but it’s far from over. The unlimited funding sees to that…..
And yet they keep doing it. What the courts order means nothing when no one enforces it. They are above the law. Until they are prosecuted & jailed nothing will change.
Blatantly unconstitutional.
But they’ve already shown that they don’t care what the courts say, so how will things be any different?
Takes too long. Now let’s see if the order is enforced. It certainly won’t be honoured by Trump’s DOJ.
Oh well, If the Court said it! Pack it up buys, we defeated fascism
Good luck with stopping convict taco 🌮 drump and his cult followers 👌
We know of three kind and decent immigrant families who have American children. They see this racism in America, and they are in the process of moving back to Mexico. They see a future with President Sheinbaum there.
I know white people who are getting out.
That's right! Defeat this domestic terrorist organization making America White Again!
Finally! You can't always tell with this court what they're going to decide. 😱
They’ve decided against all kinds of things that the administration just goes and does anyway. This means nothing to no one unless people are there stopping the ice agents from snatching them based on color and language. They will continue to do exactly what they e done.
I know. It's a packed court. Trump and his Republican lackeys are not an honorable cult.
Maybe I misunderstood, but didn't SCOTUS essentially say they're the only court Trump needs to pay attention to?
True
The Trump Administration are the bad guys in every Indiana Jones movie
But dumber.
They may be dumber, but they are causing plenty of damage & it will get worse if we don’t figure out some better moves that aren’t violent.
You can’t bring a knife to a gun fight unless you’re Bruce Lee!
And uglier.
Somebody needs to send the Arc Of The Covenant to the White House.
bsky.app/profile/aya1...
The administration doesn’t listen to the courts. This is why all the older Democrats are so ineffective. They think everything is done the way it was 20+ yrs ago.
It will continue until WE have a coup
I can't be the only one in recent times that is finding Bass to be a dislikable person 🤷♂️
Why, because she doesn't want the criminal Nazi Gestapo ICE to illegally kidnap people off the streets?
No, because i dont find her believable, genuine or effective 🤷♂️
Awesome ❤️ 👌 👏 👍
Finally! SCOTUS, now needs to regroup and remember that it’s responsibility and loyalty are to Justice and the People. Certainly not to an Orange Sociopath occupying what used to be the seat of democracy in the USA and is now desecrated in an ugly tasteless palace. Find your bearings judges!
this is embedded a way you can't get any info. but here is a link to a youtube, which was posted today, but you still don't know when the actual video occurred, because the meidastouch doesn't provide any info. annoying. also it says the sound was autogenerated? what the heck?
substack.com/@karmageddon...
Darling, the courts have no power to force Trumps goonies to abide to the laws! Thats the reality, unless we have a force to fight for the laws our judges set forth, less SCOTUS’s corrupt involvement!
This is what Trump and ICE terrorists want everyone to think so there is no resistance. Keep up the resistance. Keep fighting them and their criminal agenda.
bsky.app/profile/gram...
bsky.app/profile/gram...
In theory, but this regime has nothing but contempt for the courts, and it's questionable whether they will abide by the ruling, and if they don't, it's questionable whether they will face any consequences for their contempt.
Now we’ll see if they follow the rule of law. Not holding my breath.
The court claims many things, but in the end, Trump will simply ignore the court and continue doing what it has been doing as he knows that nobody will do anything about it.
The only hope would be for LAPD and/or California state police to decide to do their jobs and enforce the law instead of being Quislings.
Except they are quislings. Most of them support Trump.
That may happen in other cities w/mayors & governors will help. It’s said LAPD is right wing mostly. No help I reckon.
This isn’t true. If the mayor and chief decide to use them to enforce the court order, they will enforce the court order. It has to come from the top though. That question should have been asked of the mayor.
I'd love to see a rumble between ICEholes and LAPD.
ICE would flee like the little bitches they are.
LAPD and LASD were very violent toward protesters. They should be ashamed of themselves!
This exactly!
👏🏾👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿👏🏼👏🏾👏🏼👏🏽👏🏿👍🏾💙💙

The court can say it. And they should. Unfortunately, Americans are living in an autocracy where the rulings of courts make the judges genuine targets and their decisions little more than an inconvenience for the Trump administration.
they won't stop. it's a cult and they're on a mission.
GREAT NEWS FROM CALIFORNIA! 💙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙
Sadly, what the lower courts say and what this administration complies with are two totally different things. The Trump Troopers will keep on abducting through court order after court order, until it rises to the supreme court, which will say, "Carry on."
Glad she has the courts on her side… But what does she plan to do about it if they ignore the courts and keep coming?
She keep acting as if she can depend on the courts we are long past that bullshit these people are not understanding they’re too scared
If?
I’m trying to be mindful of my pessimism.
They will go to SCOTUS to have it overruled. CA needs to start drawing up not congressional districts, and fast.
Not much to be honest. She could call in the national guard, but then Trump would call in the army. The trajectory of this timeline is in the direction of a very bad place.
A law being only as effective as its enforcement.
Packing a cannon with strongly worded letters!
control your police department
The mayor of L.A. has no authority over the LAPD and never has -- not just Bass, no previous mayor has either. The mayor can fire the LAPD chief. That's it. She can appoint another one. LAPD officers don't listen to the chief and they don't follow him. They follow orders of their union. Only.
Stay tuned for SCOTUS ruling on this. Roberts will allow it, I have no doubt. Also, #epsteinfiles.
You STILL think words from a court will protect you? Have you been paying attention? No. You haven't.
Well. You aren't doing anything about it so.
The courts have spoken and it is now law, so if Ice breaks the law, they can be arrested!
So what? SCOTUS has said Trump can simply ignore any court order he wants to. This means nothing. When one side refuses to accept that the rule of law applies to them, as Trump has, you no longer have rule of law, and courts have become irrelevant.
When the law breaks the law, there isn’t any law, just the fight for survival. youtu.be/kttCi2jOcOo?...
That’s great, but what about all those who were already taken?
Good luck getting these secret police to follow Court Orders. Who's going to stop them?
Are you wishing the evil maga nazis running the government good luck? Or ... someone else?
Do have problems with reading comprehension? I was pretty clear who needs the good luck.
I want to see joint press conference with CA Governor, Mayors, Local Police Chiefs, CHP and County Sheriffs affirming this ruling is now, in fact, law that they must enforce.
youtu.be/sEscxYV9sQk?...
Fantastic news for now. Now have to see if SCOTUS agrees or if Trump and his thugs just ignore it. These fascists won't quit that easily.
Aha. And HAVE THEY STOPPED?
Yet it continues across the country! Time for arrests for contempt of court for those in charge. It starts at the top of DHS & DOJ
I better not stumble into this by bein too honest ...i am off
⚖️👏 👏
ICE ain't getting $150Billion for nothing, 2025 welcome to the Dark Age of American Fascism 😢
And you think this will stop them 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🇺🇲💩
Either be supportive or mind your own damn business.
You're president called us nasty and threaten to invade our country so it is my fucking business. So deal! Your country is done, next stop is not elections, it will be bloodshed.
Congratulations. You're the first Canadian to whom I've ever felt the desire to say FUCK OFF. I guess there are assholes everywhere. Even in magnificent Canada. Oh, well.
Ouch you're mean. 💩💩💩💩💩
Follow federal law!!!!
Bringing back America..fighting fascism 🇺🇸
Excellent news. The police can now arrest ICE for kidnapping.
@mayor.lacity.gov Now clean up the LAPD and LASO to be public servants. And…make them verify ICE “agents” credentials and warrants if they show up in defiance of the court. Arrest them if they are not in compliance.
They don't have the cojones to do any of that.
So what are you suggesting? “Clean up LAPD”? Fire repukes, hire only Dems? That’s discrimination.
How about I mean enforce ethical standards? Get rid of cops who don’t know how to deescalate situations? Or increase training requirements? to name a few ideas. It’s interesting you went to a discriminatory argument instead of considering qualifications one’s given the history of the LAPD and LASO
You fire anyone who refuses to do their job. If that means Republicans, then so be it.
ICE are the latest version of the klu klux klan. Same concept, wearing masks as they don’t want to be identified. Obviously very aware that what they are doing is not right. When America is restored. All of then need to be investigated and prosecuted for illegal activities.
Exactly how will that be enforced? ICE will ignore the court order & continue assaulting people unless they are arrested & indicted.
When ICE comes the nabe needs to get activated, everyone needs to be onthe streets. Yelling at ICE goons filming their cars and their bodies and masked faces. ICE is weak sauce. like border patrol agents. They hate themselves. Shame them. Reveal them.
She needs to direct LAPD to protect Los Angelenos from FDJT’s goons. And fuc Newscum2 he needs to send Ca. Nat’l guard. This is ground zero Against tyranny. Courts didn’t stop segregation. Courts don’t stop Illegal wars. Courts don’t do anything but make more caselaw to yap over at this point.
Good Day for America!!
It has nothing to do with the law. It's all about Conservative/Republican racism; and racism is reptilian brain fear: these people are different than me so they might be dangerous.

Look at this guy. He looks like he’s rotting from the inside out. He’s a putrid demon, not even human. No redeeming value at all. I look forward to dancing at his funeral.
Me too, and it won't be YMCA. It be highway to hell.
Sounds good. It can’t come soon enough.
Because he is
I will dance with you in a colorful dress!! 💃🏽💝
Absolutely Sharyn. A colorful celebration!
Yes 👏🏼💪🏽💃🏽
The face of bitterness.
ICE and Trump are above Law and any Judge in court. Trump is now a dictator/ a King.
Congratulations to Mayor Bass and Gavin Newsom. Other states need to do exactly what California has done.
Hallelujah
..but will they obey?
No. Does Trump? Has he paid his bills?
Good News. Do you and Gov N think it would make so much sense to prevent candidates from running who can t pass backround checks. Look at all the chaos and stress we could avoid .
Your DHS. bsky.app/profile/opsa...
Yes deport the illegals but follow the law.
If only the city of LA had an organization answerable to the people that could stop groups of armed thugs picking up Americans and immigrants illegally off the streets like common criminals.
Sounds nice, but also like a pipe dream you just created 😂
Amazing!!!!
Unfortunately I doubt that it will change anything. After all he didn’t listen to the Supreme Court!
Well done, Madam Mayor!!
Anyone think ICE, directed by FG, will obey this or any court order?
Bass is not the person LA needs right now. She is someone who just can't comprehend the seriousness of what's happening in that city. Another of those who have deluded themselves into believing the mid-terms will set everything right.
Well us folks haven’t encountered this problem b4. A lot of us find this hard to believe & deal with. It’s happened quick & we are slow to act. Violent will bring Martial Law in case you’re unaware of that.
So do nothing in the hopes of avoiding martial law or allow them to walk all over you to such an extent they have no need for martial law? Not much of a choice.
Then why trump asked texas to gerrymander?
He needs 5 more seats to win in the next election. He figures Abbott can gerrymander TX enough to get him 5 more repuke seats.
But will the current regime ignore the lower courts until the Supreme Court says, “okay, do as you wish”?
Ice agents can now be arrested. That is a blessing.
She said the streets are quiet at this time.
Thank god
As if that will stop the ICE thugs!
I’m thinking it will for the people who are sick of these thugs
Here we go again. Talking and acting as though it's a small win. Like it's business as usual. I'm pissed off and disgusted at 630am. 8
Yay! Best Wishes from a Canadian in the UK!😀🌼
Make sure it doesn’t happen. They do not follow laws that bind them.
will all the folks illegally kidnapped be released or will LA have to pay a ransom for the hostages? IE, give Trump some money.
And since when does this administration abide by what the courts say?
It should have never happened in the first place.
And Republicans have never obeyed court orders or the law and they've faced zero consequences.
They are obeying some of the court orders.
Too bad the judiciary outside of the SCROTUS has no power anymore.
I’m willing to bet they will do it anyway.
This is a sad and scary situation. They are getting away with most of it. We HAVE to do what it takes to WIN THE MIDTERMS!!
Does this mean that cops across America can start to arrest any ICE agents they find taking citizens off the streets?
Good.
So how do you plan to stop it? Fair question Mayor 🤷
A court order stopped it so they moved south to Encinitas where they’ve been met with angry crowds. Only 250 national guard members left in LA. Down from 5K. She spoke out, her constituents spoke out and rallied. She did what she could. No other large cities have a massive presence of guard.
That's awesome to hear. Good on Mayor Bass! 🙏😁♥️✊✌️
So you are going to start arresting dastrumppenSS when they keep doing it then?
This is premature. I hadn't noticed the Trump administration giving a flying fart what the courts say. This deep in, and my colleagues on the left still kid themselves that somehow the normal rules apply.
Sadly, they don't seem to care what the courts say.
Good, make sure it gets enforced. Thanks for fighting Mayor Bass.
I doubt that they will stop because of a court order. SCOTUS will reverse it and back to kidnapping people of the streets 🤬🤢
That is good news does this order pertain only to Cali or the entire nation(I hope)
Not even ALL of California -- just 7 counties, in SoCal.
Mayor Karen Bass because we voted There however is a DA in los Angeles that works for trump.
Not the DA, but the US Attorney. We voted for Hochmann. He appointed the US Attorney.
Trump doesn't GAFF about the Courts, including the Supreme Court (who agreed with him).
10 years. Since 2015. I recovered from crack addiction, got married to an american ex patriate, And built a life. TEN YEARS! TEN YEARS IVE BEEN SCREAMING AT AMERICANS! Screaming that when someone tells you what he is, you listen... And no one did. Fuck america.
This is hugely important! We cannot just capitulate and say "oh well, they will ignore it anyway". NO! That plays directly into their hand. Keep suing these assholes, get the record I place. They are weak! We are strong! Enough with the dooming out over every win!
“The courts said”. Laughable these days.
This administration doesn't seem to care what the courts think.
They will be made to obey or else!
Who will make them? The Supreme Court seems quite compromised.
The police in California will be able to arrest them for illegally harassing and strong arming both citizens and immigrants!
ICE was learning from LA. The next place they set up in will be more brutal.
Single day feel-good marches will not end this. We need prolonged action The only way to end this regime is to stop being a part of the machinations that allow it to operate: we need a general strike to grind this all to a halt generalstrikeus.com
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
THANK GOD!!
The problem here is SCOTUS. The concept of "temporary" should really be "permanent".
Like they care about courts.
They'll just ignore the court orders. The only way to stop it is for everyone impacted to sue everyone involved. We need a lot of lawyers hence why he went after law firms first.
That Supreme Court tho…
They are ignoring the order
Hope they go to prison. Lock them up!
Since when did that ever stop them from kidnapping people of color? 🗽🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻
Exactly, this means nothing. Lip service.
The win will be to release all the detainees. The damage has been done. I work in downtown LA, go there daily. it's not the same since the raids. People are afraid.
Evidence please
Excellent! Make it so nationwide! Challenge in District courts, there is established precedent!
🎉🎉
Lolol every time I hear or read "the court says" I just laugh and laugh and laugh. Are people not fucking paying attention?
They don't follow court orders.
She also has to get her pigs inline.
Thank God. Hopefully they follow the ruling
Problem is, who is going to enforce it?
Will the LAPD enforce that ruling and arrest ICE when they ignore it?
Law is only as effective as it's enforcement.
The ultimate Court in America is in Trump’s pocket, bought and paid for, so no local court orders will stop the Abductions and Kidnappers. It is misleading and naïve to imply an LA court order will stop the Abductions.
Fabulous news, if mighty slow coming. Now, how to enforce & repair the damage. Mayor Bass rocks.
This is what leaders of the NEW Democratic party are doing while being in the minority!!
It's no accident white supremacist terrorists like Proud Boys wear tactical,faces covered ,no badges or ID and drive unmarked cars just like ICE. It's a force multiplier that makes MAGA nuts think they can be vigilantes .
This sounds horribly rude so I apologize in advance for the following..... My gut feeling is that the majority of these guys are taking "the Blue Pill" on a regular basis.
The purpose of ICE,DOGE, firing his people, suing Universities and press is fear. Dictators power is fear, not laws they ignore like Trump. House Reps admit voting with Qnuts after MAGA death threats. Trump wants rioting to excuse Martial Law.
Why you peacefully protest, and larger the numbers always scare dictators. Do not obey.
"Can no longer happen". Well that's peachy. I doubt that those ICE agents will stop though because they have ignored the law and due process so far. Also is the US going to get the people back from El Salvador? All the folks who don't have a criminal record?
Glad to hear but I don’t see the Trump administration obeying ANY court order whether it’s Federal or SCOTUS They already declared district courts have no say in any matter
It does not follow the rule of law. It does not care about the courts. It has JAILED judges. If Americans think they are not under a full dictatorship, they are not thinking at all, which explains a lot.
Your first clue that Americans don't think should have been: 90 million people didn't bother to vote at ALL because they felt there was "no difference" between an insane and senile orange nazi and a multicultural intelligent woman
The n*zi salute was given at its inauguration and no one did anything about it. Same for disappearing their neighbors, jailing judges, erasing all non-white history… I mean, it does exactly what it says it will do and still there is not ONE PERSON protesting at the WH. Zero people. Bonne chance.
I didn't create this problem. It sure as FUCK isn't my job to solve it.
NEVER count on the current Republican Supreme Court to do the right thing. They are a disgrace to the Constitution and every fundamental value that makes us America.
Robert's gutted Article 2 making Shitler a King and everyone around him above the law with his pardons.
But at least Justices Taney (Dred Scott) and H. Brown (Plessy v. Ferguson) can rest a little easier: “Sure, that was a shitty opinion, blithely supporting institutional repression, but hey — at least I’m not one of the ‘Trump 6’.”
I hope those two and their majority opinion cohorts are resting on a spit in the hottest zip code of hell… soon to be joined by their Heritage Foundation brethren (and sisteren?)
Burning in hell seems to be the only justice we can reasonably expect.
It’s infuriating.
Bass is naive at best if she thinks a court order will stop them
Stop criticizing the people in power who are TRYING to help us, or get your ass out there and do better!
Exactly, who's going to stop them? LAPD?
I wouldn't put it past the LAPD, they're brutal. Come on, does no one remember Rodney King?
Who's going to stop the LAPD from shooting reporters and peaceful protesters with potentially lethal rubber bullets? Bass needs to answer to the people who were gravely wounded. One reporter was almost killed by one that left a hole in his thigh so big it couldn't be stitched up.
Oh, yeah, yeah, and tell them you're a sovereign citizen too, and that they can't do that, I hear that totally stops them.
I sure hope so
Thank you I will be sure and have this printed onto a laminated card so that if I am dragged into an unmarked van I can show it to the abductors.

Then get a goddamned firearm and learn how to use it
There are less Nazis than there are victims. Carry a weapon and fight like you'll die if they take you, because you will.
Safety 101- NEVER go with anyone who means to do you harm. Your next stop will probably be your last.
Learn self dense Learn to safely use weapons, including firearms, knives, etc.
This is a surprising action not yet to happen. In this combat situation, you do not shoot at mass, the vest. You shoot below the vest and legs are also a target area. Wounded personnel are more damaging than deceased combatants. Once neutralized, over. You must have a practiced plan of escape.
Pelvis. Lots of vessels and arteries you can't put a tourniquet on. Lots of nerve endings that will take the fight out of the fuckers.
Stupid idea. They will kill you, and have legal cover if you're armed. Non violent resistance is the only way to win.
Dead people can’t kill.
Which violent despotic government in recent history was overthrown this way? I seem to recall a world war fought to unseat the last one because protests don't do shit when there is no law.
You think Hitler was the world's last violent despot?
I think Hitler was the last despot with serious global ambitions before Putin. And Putin is who we are at war with now.
Ok, so your hope is for a foreign army to invade to liberate you. China or Russia? Violent resistance is EXACTLY what Trump wants. Distract from Epstein, economy, give him an enemy within he can send troops to fight, declare martial law, shut down Congress.
I don't think you answered my question... so I don't think I'll answer yours. This isn't a debate; it's a conversation. I'm here to learn, not to argue. 😊
The US is becoming violent and despotic, but is still a long way from Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Russia. And neither of those was defeated by a violent insurrection. Violent resistance justifies more violent repression. Trump would love that.
Colonial British Rule in India. The USSR Ukraine before Zelensky. I'll start with three as place holders and let you figure out the rest

How are relations going between India and Pakistan these days? USSR failed because centralized State control can't compete economically with globalism (a lesson you'll learn sooner than later) and Ukraine prior to Zelenskyy has experienced at least three holocausts, with only one even recognized
I'll let you figure out how it's going
The British ruled India for 190 years. The USSR lasted 70 years. So how many years must Americans have for peaceful resistance to regain our freedom and democracy?
Gandhi's movement started 1921, achieved self rule in 1947. The US still has elections and courts. If you give up on those, you have conceded democracy. Use them and you can block Trump in 2026 and be rid of him at latest 2029. A violent resistance if it succeeds often becomes a dictatorship.
You think peaceful domestic protest ended colonial British rule in India or the USSR? Ukraine's revolution was mostly bloodless but by then Moscow had already destroyed the govt.
All three had notable degrees of violent resistance
I love this dodge ... "notable degrees." You must be the guy that says, "well, since seatbelts don't prevent 100% of fatalities, they shouldn't be used." All had elements of violence, all classified as mostly non-violent
There may become a time when we can protest peacefully. Now is not that time. Right now, we must show them violence in masses that they cannot control. MLK Jr. could only dream of a better world because there were so many ready & willing to be violent
India only worked out because of pressure from other counties (with guns) were upset. Peaceful protesting only works with the threat of violence. USSR you make me laugh.
Laugh about the USSR all you like. None of the countries that broke away from it did so by violence. Many by what came to be called "colour revolutions". Conversely, cannot think of a case in the last century where violence resulted in anything but worse repression or a new dictatorship.
Wrong! Yes, you may become deceased, it is worth the risk. ICE at some point must be confronted by an armed force. Else, Bstrd Trump will continue to prevail and your passive lives will become much more horrible! Just take a look at Germany 1938!
Or a few well placed targeted strikes...✌🏽the rest will piss their pants when they see justice coming for them
gee, if the framers acted like that you wouldn't have a country...
That’s for the weak
You speak like a coward. People are going to die in this fight. In a war, you have to fight or you will be defeated. There's no other way.
The coward is the one with the gun.
They will kill you anyway. It's a numbers game. Take a few down with you.
You watch too many dumb movies. They are heavily armed and violent. Trump would love an excuse to send the military in with "shoot first" orders. You can only get yourself and others killed.

There is a difference between working to save an existing democratic system and fighting a war against a foreign invader. Making this into literal war is exactly how the right wants to play. Then the US is fucked for a century or just falls apart.
Don't be naive. “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” The president of the Heritage Foundation said that in the summer of 2024. We are at war for our republic already, we're currently losing. share.google/e0HevRn8tTcS...
It’s a mistake for you to not realize we are already at war.
If they think they can seek legal reparations for you fighting back and injuring or worse an agent: They will have incentive to put you in the legal system instead of disappearing you overseas
We have all seen what happens to people who don’t defend themselves. All evidence suggests they run away when facing any opposition, plenty of video of it. When the option is fight or be tortured to death the choice is clear. Wars aren’t won with strongly worded letters and pacifistic ideology.
But is carrying a small ice pick armed?
Wrong
That’s what they want. It gets violent & it will be Martial Law.
Look around you man, we are already there.
Letting them do it peacefully is not an option either.
arm-up!! organize, hold rooftops nests, and every single brown person should have at the very least some OC-spray, better yet a fire arm.. if they're masked and unidentified, then they might as well be kidnappers, proud-boys, or KKK (same as P.B's), or ISIS,... self defense is mandatory and LEGAL..
Show this to all the people in detention centers. Think that will help?
Yeah this doesnt help. ICE arrests random people on the street, LAPD just does crowd control. abc7.com/post/immigra...
It's shit like this thread that is sending me into therapy. Right now I'm mostly pissed at trump but the general population is about 40% of my 24/7 anger. I warned people, latinos as well as anyone that would listen starting last summer. My fellow Americans are fucking weak. It's time for force
Here we go again bsky.app/profile/jusn...
LAPD... the LAPDogs of ICE! 😡
Obviously not: bsky.app/profile/iwil...
I think Bass is proven to be very dumb and useless in many areas.
At least she tried you know. Gotta give her credit for that much
She does nothing *
Truth. It will not stop them. The courts have no enforcement mechanism.
Yup. The Dims have failed to understand that this is a fight for the old, moderately functional, oligarchy over a non-functional White Nationalism Christo-fascist autocracy. They failed when they did not employ Inherent Contempt against, first off, Mnuchin because of Trump's tax docs. We have lost.
They're not invincible. This will matter, but only if we don't stop politically hammering them. We need to make them lose political control.
Tell that to ice Gestapo
are they obeying the court order?
Yeahhh, but you think that's going to stop the GOLDEN CALF, his puppy killer sycophant, and the resurrected Nazi ZGS, Zollgrenzschutz, Custom Border Guard...
👍💙
It's time to hold these hired bounty hunters and J6ers accountable for their violence. Detain them and discover who hired them, follow the money. When it leads to foreign power interests, I will not be shocked.
“The court said” 🤣🤣🤣
STAND TALL AND STAND PROUD MAYOR BASS.....YOU AND L.A. SHOWED US THE WAY ...NOW AMERICA NEEDS TO FOLLOW YOUR LEAD... DOWN WITH MAGAT TYRANNY... DOWN WITH ICE... DOWN WITH TRUMP!
