The Waymo cars getting torched really stood out. Feels like the protest wasn’t just about ICE,it’s about people pushing back on anything that feels like control, whether it’s police or tech.

One thing I noticed,Trump said 2,000 National Guard were coming, but it looks like only LAPD and CHP were actually on the ground. Not sure if that’s a delay or on purpose. Anyone there see signs of Guard troops at all?

I was there from about 3-7 p.m. on Sunday and only saw a few hundred or so CHP and LAPD

Excellent coverage! The photo of the police horses is just soo sad and telling, with the horses wearing eye shields. I guess the LAPD is more concerned with their horses suffering from the effects of tear gas than they are human beings suffering from it.

Power to the people! Go home ICE!

Protestors don't set cars on fire. Rioters do that.

I personally think the attention the Mexican flag is getting is unfortunate. Americans are protesting mistreatment of American immigrants, by Americans. American law enforcement are shooting at, and arresting Americans. The American President has publicly trashed the 1st Amendment of the Constitution he swore an oath to defend. American military servicemembers are violating their oath to defend the Constitution, filmed cheering on that trashing of the 1st Amendment. The American Congress has done essentially nothing to stop this escalation.

This is not about Mexico, or any other country. The legacy media seems to be just as interested in manufacturing a crisis with a foreign enemy.

Take careful note that Trump's open-ended Executive Order federalizing the National Guard mentions "California" exactly zero times, and contains zero specifics or restrictions, including duration/expiration. He has essentially federalized all National Guards until he is dethroned.
