What am I you ask? I am the lower-third that freezes halfway through your stream, the video clip you found that played just fine but now does nothing but buffer; I am the sigh, the gust of wind that rattles through your bones and wheezes out your flared nostrils as OBS crashes for the second time. I am the dropped frames of your feed, the mic too hot and the mic too cold. I am the failed auto-focus, the discord call audio that your audience cannot hear. I am the power surge, the internet outage. I am all the things you say cannot be. I am you. I am they. I am...Crapola man.

Sorry for the delay but I was "occupied" for the last week. On June 23rd Ground Game LA assisted @LAAgainstICE in a direct action targeting the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles. We blocked driveways and chanted at employees. We came to take over the driveway on Aliso St, the driveway that is usually used for detainee buses and vans. Since then we have kept a constant vigil and a lively community has grown. I wanted to report on some of my experiences with this. It has been one of the hardest and most rewarding weeks of my life. To learn more follow: @LAAgainstICE To donate on Venmo: @LAAgainstICE and @AssistanceForTheResistance Assistance for the Resistance is a community kitchen that helps keep activists and community members fed and hydrated, they have been a huge help to camp this week.

Ace Katano sits down for the last of our conversations where we discuss the planning and logistics of large protests. Ground Game LA was part of both the LAX travel ban protests and the Impeachment March and Rally. We discuss how to get together a reliable team, how to keep everyone safe, how to deal with the police, and what you can expect to accomplish. Large protests are a powerful tool in our arsenal, but they present unique challenges. The best solution is to draw on the expertise in your community and to create coalitions with other progressive groups.
