They did that in 2020. Rubber bullets are meant to be shot at the pavement and ricochet off. Police were aiming them at people's faces. June 2024

This is encouraging

It looks like we’re back to the days of acab. It’s never been clearer

In case you’ve forgotten, abcab is an acronym for “all cops are bastards”. Pretty suitable in today’s amerika.

Can’t wait for CA leaders to witness their “police” shouting “back the fuck up” repeatedly. So much for demanding peace.

So that's the LAPD and not ICE? I read the mayor say they were NOT supporting or assisting ICE in any way

I dont know about USA but in France political statistics show that most of our policemen are far right voters + they still are humans so when under pressure these guys think "its him/her or me" and they wont think about any safety/legal guidance to follow + think by principle the state backs them up

It's the same in the I.s. police have high domestic abuse rates as well. It typically draws in cowards who were bullied and now want to bully... You also can't be a cop here if your IQ is to high. They say you'll get bored

The stress from all this chaos the Trump Regime is causing is taking years off my life. We need to file a class-action lawsuit against him for severe emotional distress.

100% agree. The trauma won't heal in my lifetime. I am completely changed as a person.

I thank the Lord God Most High for saving my life, reversing my trauma and bringing me peace and joy in its place. He can do that for you as well, if you can learn to trust Him. Believe it or not I was a cold "digital" atheist...

You know what’s better at healing trauma than giving your life to something that doesn’t exist and if it did it doesn’t care about you? Therapy.

Therapy without God would've eventually resulted in my demise. Therapy cannot offer what God offers me. God does exist and He loves all that come to Him.

Good luck with that bullshit. Religion causes trauma it doesn’t heal it. You need therapy because you sound like an absolute nut job. Not to mention that abstaining from a behavior is not mastery of that behavior. You are still a slave to your behavior

Before God. Trauma, dread, darkness, misanthropy, hatred, claustrophobic anxiety, insomnia, selfishness, narcissism, addictions. After God. Peace, joy, light, compassion for others, love, freedom, sleep great, selflessness, humility bye bye many addictions! Do the math.

You do it. It wasn’t god or religion. It was boundaries. You got better because you wanted to. Not because of a ghost sky daddy

You know, we can have a friendly conversation and actually get to know each other with compassion. Irl, I'm super easy to get along with. It's not forbidden. I'm not here to dominate others with my position. I come to help others who suffer.

I already know you and what you have to say. You think I haven’t met a dozen of people like you? I don’t want to be saved and you can’t help suffering for more than anyone but you. Your motivation is your god. You are not altruistic and you won’t save anyone. We don’t need it. Save yourself.

And if you are in a better place now it’s because of the work you did on yourself. God didn’t do that…you did. Give credit to yourself because this might be your only chance. You could die thinking you’ll have an afterlife and never be proud of what you did because you have to thank a ghost for it

Without God, I'm right back where I was. You don't understand why or how God healed me. Know that God is Creator of all things, and is omniscient. Therefore He has full capacity to work with the human mind, His marvelous creation, the inner mechanisms of which He knows intimately.

Ditto

Agree. Same. And I’m in Michigan nowhere near this. But this is not America.

I'm in MA. I think it's just a matter of time... Kidnappings, etc, are already happening.

Me too!

Now you know how trans people feel every day thanks to cis bigotry and gov't attacks.

Same here. Angry, desperate, depressed, overwhelmed. Not my traits until this supervillains took control of our world.

It's an endless cycle of those emotions recurring most wake hours. Finding moments of joy is immediately followed by moments of guilt.

That was me a few years back, and I was like that for years. It nearly drive me to my bitter end. But I somehow discovered a secret in plain sight, and that secret is the God I used to hate. I discovered how to trust Him. He set me totally free and replaced my darkness with nonstop tears of joy. ✝️

I swear, it’s why my cancer has returned after 4 years clear.

Sending healing vibes into the universe. I hope they reach you. To absorb the hateful energy of others takes its toll. I believe the connection exists, and I'm so sorry for your news.

Thank you very much.

I am so sorry.

I’m am horrified to hear that. 🥹

All of this is true. Thing is, just like every other legal situation brought against him, he'll just ignore it and continue on. But, yeah, so many of us are going to be messed up for, at the very least, a long time no matter how this goes down. Though I think we're seeing how it's going to end up...

I’m sorry.

Oh no! I’m so sorry. 💔💔💔

Oh gawd. My neighbor just got 5 yr clr in Dec....now it's multiple myeloma. The stress. I'm soo sorry...

🙏🏾

Oh no. I am sending you so much light and energy. 💙💜❤️

Omg🙏🫂

Just waiting for mine to recur as well…from stress…after nearly 7 years 😒

Healing thoughts to you.

I pray it does not

💔🫂

I’m so sorry! I will pray you can beat it again…permanently! I’m just 4 years cancer free myself & am not going to lie, I’ve been so insanely stressed out, lost 15 pounds (I’m a size 4,not much spare to lose), my blood work is messed up because I’m not eating, & I worry about cancer coming back too.

I have barely slept this week. And when I say that, I mean I’ve had about six hours of sleep in the last 72 hours. This is killing me

I remember what that stress and trauma is like. It actually nearly drove me insanely to a bitter end. But the answer is plainly in the open. Turn to God, then watch all this trauma become blissful peace and joy. Our God is infinitely greater than politics. Make Him your invincible fortress. ✝️

No thank you. That will literally not combat the global fascist movement, especially when the Heritage Foundation Christofascists are causing this. Have a nice day.

I appreciate your manners, but there is a truth that stands separate from the identity you perceive of Christianity. That truth is not the Christian nationalism you see, but instead it's a God that will set you COMPLETELY free. This is a spiritual matter, not an intellectual one.

Explain how me embracing Christianity would realistically physically protect me from those who want to kill me for being gay.

All living things have an appointed time. So cling to this life, but doing so results in suffering and torment because life is like sand running through our fingers. We are but a vapor that comes and goes. But with God, we have a permanent eternal anchor beyond the physical.

My anxiety is out of control. He needs to pay for my xanax.

He needs to pay for my rehab. 😜

Too late for that.

Yes!

Agree...I've gained weight too.

This. I have cried more in the past 4 months than in my entire 54 years on this planet. 😭💔

I thought the SAME THING!!!

I’ve wanting to do this since his 1st Pres.when a million people died of Covid. We’re being abused by him & his policies. I agree. We the American people VS Trump. How can we get started?

Have you or a loved one been hurt by the chaos of trumps deranged regime? You may be eligible for compensation. Call the attorneys at 1-800-FuckDJT.

Agree. I felt so relieved for normalcy the past few years. Now every day I wake up with dread. Tension. Stress. Constantly worried about enough dry goods, gas in the car, etc.

Agree 💯 %

Musk as well.

Especially Musk, since he took away my livelihood of 25 years.

I'm sorry to hear that. He's going to owe a lot of people a lot of money.

Dunno. I don’t believe in Karma. What pisses me off is that after 25 years I will have to give up my vocation (it was never simply work), and do something that will probably not inspire me.

I understand your frustration. I wish you well.

I am looking into becoming a pet psychic 😂

I love that!

What cld go wrong?

Thanks a bunch!

If by "class action lawsuit" you mean "hail of bullets directed at ICE" then yes.

He’s an evil drama llama. I am mentally challenged. My outlook on life and this country has changed. I will never forgive him or those who enabled him, no matter their role. As a nation, I don’t know how we’ll ever heal.

If only such a tactic would work. Unfortunately we have to do our best to take care of ourselves and our communities while battling oligarchic white fascism and hoping the American people side our way...

Same. The worst human in America is present.

They look so stupid dressed like warfare to deal with unarmed civilian protesters. Idiots.

Just saw a video where one thug, fired a rubber bullet maybe 6 ft away, directly into a non-violent protestor, who was left writhing in pain on the sidewalk. Last evening a journalist was shot in the leg with on, leaving a deep wound that required surgery. They are going to kill someone.

When they kill an innocent then the sky falls on these punks…. Like the world has never seen- to quote Geezus Trump.

When this inevitably happens I think lots of us are going to be fighting in the new revolution...

👍 with zeal!

I would be willing to bet that a large majority of the LAPD did not vote for this, nor did they sign up for this.

Well, luckily they have the option to quit if they don't like it or think it's immoral. Nobody is forcing them to do it. Same with the national guard. But I don't see a mass resignation in protest in the headlines.

Spot on

LAPD are hardcore thugs. They're pissed that ICE is the main event and they were called in as backup for them like rent-a-cops If there's abuse to hand out, they want to be the ones doing it

Who is he? We need to dox every one of these Nazi wannabes.

A lot of these ICE agents out here aren't even real government employees. They’re 1099 contractors. They’re private workers—hired through government contracts to do state violence for profit. They could be some dude with a badge, a gun, and a gig. ICE isn’t just a government agency

Protesters can defend themselves from tyranny
