LA Protests

Undocumented day laborers cleared debris after the Eaton Fire. Now they’re afraid to work. As advocates warn that “there’s no reconstruction of Altadena and Pasadena without the immigrant workforce,” raids are forcing essential workers into hiding. lapublicpress.org/2025/06….

As advocates warn that "there's no reconstruction of Altadena and Pasadena without the immigrant workforce," immigration raids are forcing essential workers into hiding.

How about we need a system where rich people don’t get to determine all of our futures because their interests will never be the same as ours?

We need a massive surge in funders who support freedom and liberty — and the candidates who run on this platform to uphold democracy and the rule of law. There has to be a counter to Musk: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/u...

Idk if you’re trolling here. If you’re not, might I suggest googling someone’s name before suggesting to them something they do for a living?

Yeah I remember in 2023 when Biden had OADS, a number of Afghan people who’d arrived since 2021 came out to help.

I’ve spoken to folks who say that in a strange way they miss the community they found along the way here. It’s truly a remarkable thing and one that really reinforced to me that without states and coercion and violence, people can care for one another

If there’s one thing I wish people understood, it’s how much migrants coming here care for one another. I’ve seen people carry a stranger’s child, share their last food with someone who they don’t share a language with, and spend all day building a shelter for someone else then sleep in the cold

First show where people left en masse one song into the headliner’s set. Planning for a Burial opened and I think most of the crowd were there to see them. Sad dad music that needed more amps to create a greater wall of sound.

I saw Mamleek this week with little familiarity of their music. It was, uh, challenging and frantic. The balaclavas and what I would call a screaming Tom Waits added to the unnerving experience.

Friedman's legislation follows two similar state-level efforts. No Vigilantes Act from State Senator Sasha Renée Perez: sd25.senate.ca.gov/news/s…. No Secret Police Act from State Senator Scott Wiener: sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/s….

Rep. Laura Friedman is joining Burbank Mayor Nikki Perez and LA City Councilmember Nithya Raman today to announce new federal legislation requiring ICE agents to show identification/their faces while highlighting "the impact of the Trump Administration's ongoing use of secret police tactics"

Congresswoman Friedman to Announce New Federal Legislation Requiring ICE Officers to Identify Themselves During Raids

On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, U.S. Congresswoman Laura Friedman (CA-30) will announce she is helping lead new federal legislation to improve the accountability of immigration enforcement agents and end ICE agents wearing masks to obscure their identity.

This announcement comes after an uptick in reports of masked, plainclothes, and unidentifiable agents conducting raids in neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools, which has stoked fear across the LA region, as immigration raids have risen in recent weeks. The masked raids have even led to 911 calls reporting kidnappings, diverting police resources.

Friedman will also highlight the impact of the Trump Administration’s ongoing use of secret police tactics and how it erodes public trust in local law enforcement and their ability to protect the public.

WHAT: Friedman to announce she is helping lead new federal legislation to end ICE officers wearing masks to obscure their identity during raids.

WHO: Congresswoman Laura Friedman (CA-30)
Burbank Mayor Nikki Perez
Los Angeles Councilmember Nithya Raman

WHERE: Griffith Park Recreation Center Playground
3401 Riverside Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90027
Press Conference will be set up HERE.

WHEN: 9:30 AM, Tuesday, July 1, 2025

The shredding of humanities departments cuts particularly deep. My grad degree in English literature (not from this uni) absolutely made me a better thinker, writer, reader. Grounded me ethically and emotionally. In this moment, we need programs like this in order to celebrate humanity. A waste.
