LAPD wants nearly $100M to police the Olympics. Who's going to pay for it? City Hall is already in dispute over the department's current budget. Now, LAPD wants new vehicles and equipment for 2028.

Police forces consistently use the Olympics their own private cash machine. LAPD is already asking for additional $100 million & we’re 2.5 full years away from the Games. Gives lie to LA28 organizers’ claims that it will deliver a *completely privately funded Olympics*

War at Home A record of ICE’s assault on immigrants and the people’s resistance.

"Wherever the agents appear, even when they lean idly, chatting, we see the cold threat of violence and the fragility of freedom. And in the brave crowds who gather to confront them, scrambling their illusion of total control, we see the power of solidarity..."

San Francisco Gets An Invasive Billionaire-Bought Surveillance HQ San Francisco billionaire Chris Larsen once again has wielded his wallet to keep city residents under the eye of all-seeing police surveillance. The San Francisco Police Commission, the Board of Super...

For those that have not been following what's happening in San Francisco--an unelected cryptocurrency billionaire just gave millions to the city to expand and consolidate its massive surveillance apparatus (which has just been discovered to be leaking data to ICE) and found a police foundation.

How to record ICE:

1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.
