A few blocks vs 500 sq mi, Los Angeles

TRUMP AND THE REST OF THE FASCISTS ARE LYING TO YOU ABOUT L.A.

Despite the fake images, fake reports, fake statements, and the rest of the fascist tactics, what protests there have been in L.A. over the last few days were entirely limited to a few blocks downtown. Bullsh*t from would-be dictator Trump that L.A. would be burning to the ground now if not for his National Guard deployment is nonsense, and they were sleeping on concrete because Trump didn't provide proper resources for them.

Los Angeles is gigantic, 500 square miles in size. Outside of that tiny area downtown where the situation calmed down dramatically even before Trump started his fascist vomit-fest, the rest of the city is operating completely normally and you wouldn't even know anything unusual was going on here.

It's Trump's and his sycophants BIG LIES to push his fascist agenda of arresting children and housewives rather than the "criminals" he promised would be his deportation focus. DON'T BE FOOLED.
