scattered thoughts in the city of angels
freelance friday: some freewheelin' thoughts from the last week
They’re conducting raids downtown today // ICE just showed up and started hauling people away // David Huerta was tased and arrested // This is going to get bad // This is bad // Are you safe? // Are you okay? // What can we do? // This is what they wanted // Fascism is at our door // He’s calling in the National Guard // He didn’t call in the National Guard for January 6, but he’s doing it now // Be careful of the Proud Boys in your neighborhood // You’re on a list and they will make an example of you // What do you need? // Are you safe? // Just a reminder, I’m here // We ask ourselves what we’d do if the Holocaust were to happen today, well here we are // I can’t do anything // Please be careful // I will drop it forever if you admit it’s a Blue Lives Matter flag // We need to stick together // Thank g-d he’s okay // The Marines?!? // No, L.A. is not a war zone // Yes, I did get the Watch Duty alert // No, we thankfully didn’t have to evacuate // Your son must be so proud of you // He really is // We know exactly who you are, bitch // Have a good day, Karen… watch your back and mind your business, maybe a real man should teach you some things // Are you happy now? // It’s going to get bad // Here’s a number you should know // Oh my g-d, they detained Senator Padilla // Helicopters // Sirens // Please be careful // If we don’t stand up now, we won’t have anything left to stand for // Mommy, are you okay? // Yeah, I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring the kids this time // They want to create violence // They don’t know how to be accountable // Stay strong // Stay safe // The sun feels so nice on my skin // Is this the calm before the storm // I’m so angry // I’m so numb // I don’t know what else to say.
