I'm in Los Angeles

There are protests everywhere.
I’ve been getting nonstop messages from Nextdoor, Ring, etc that ICE and Natl Guard are showing up. Pics of ICE agents running in several directions down quiet neighborhood streets. Empty, except for ICE agents. One post said ICE was at a neighborhood church. This is all just in my area.

All of this going on today, and I turn the tv on. Nothing. No local network LBN. Just golf, tennis, swimming.

I I have to go to TikTok for live coverage.

Have you tried calling any of your local news stations and actually asking them where the hell they are? I don't know it just seems so fucked up that of course only freelance and gorilla media are covering this.. then again we all have phones, so we're all filming!

A swarm of National Guard appear to be pushing a sparse crowd of peaceful protestors. No idea why. A bunch of Government vehicles passing by now. Looks like backup.

Corporate media wants us to think news only happens Monday through Friday.

Your comments were exceptional due to the fact that we just watched the NG push back the protesters in order to allow dozens of ICE vehicles drive into the detention center.

We are on our way north to Santa Barbara just visiting friends for the afternoon. I expect there may be some references to real life— but on the whole this group of older people, while very aware of the collapse outside, tries to keep some semblance of sanity for a small social sphere.

But, if you want a protest, you can certainly find one.

And I don't use that word easily. They ruined peaceful marches in Seattle time after time when I lived there and was active politically.

They are not our friends and they did not vote for Harris, that is for sure.

I think they go on to other stories and come back to it.

LA Times, BBC, The Guardian and several newspapers have live reporting coverage.

There were 3 protests all around downtown L.A. One in Boyle Heights and the other two around the detention center and City Hall.
Boyle Heights was trying to merge with one of these other sites.

There are sightings all over Socal of ICE agents. Some confirmed, others not confirmed.
