Jen Richards, transgender actress, who was hit by rubber bullets ICE,
National Guard troops, and police against pro-immigration activists in LA:
“We were in downtown LA today. Thousands of peaceful
protestors showed up to demonstrate that we won't stand by as our neighbors get
rounded up to appease the racist fever dreams of a President and his fragile
ego. I was hit by flashbangs and rubber bullets, all while walking backwards
with my hands up (and Rebekah
Cheyne] was shoved in the chest with a police baton). I'm a rather fragile,
sensitive, fight-with-my-words type, but sometimes shit goes too far and you
gotta stand up for truth, liberty, and empathy. Now is that time … p.s.
Flashbangs aren't too bad, they're loud and sting. Rubber bullets however ...
tore through my docs!”
The regime will have you believe LA is on fire and burning
to the ground and tens of thousands of people are looting and burning and
breaking the law. Not so; it’s people standing up for people who are being
denigrated and arrested and separated from families and homes and jobs because
a little wannabe dick-tator who cried bone spurs can look tough.
Stand up to the bullies and watch them turn tail and run.
