Glad he looks ok. That was a heck of a fall

Diana · Jun 9

Sue the administration!

CWB · Jun 10

Got this news while at a protest calling for his release. We all cheered.

Halfpint DJT IS MY NELLIE OLSEN! · Jun 9

Hooray! The pushback worked!!!

VieH · Jun 10

Thanks! Arresting labor leaders is wrong.

Lile · Jun 10

Course he was. There was never any reason for him to be detained in a first place. Intimidating Unions never works.

@grammanancy1948.bsky.social · Jun 9

I think they should end this protest for now and don’t give him fodder for more escalation…

@grammanancy1948.bsky.social · Jun 9

I’m a member is SEIU … thank God

@grammanancy1948.bsky.social · Jun 9

Thank God!

Speak, David, speak. Yell it brother.

Jean Ibosh · Jun 9

I’m glad he is ok. Now let’s make the rest of America ok. Protest Union Strong.

HappyLurcher · Jun 10

Welcome Home #DavidHuerta! lets hope your unjust incarceration will be 💯erased from all records, leaving you one of thousands unlawfully detained by #RUMPSTERSadministration! While good folks like you work to unify&inspire, this admin seeks to decimate groups, create fear, instigating chaos.

@grammymae.bsky.social · Jun 9

Manchild RUMP is scared of Labor Union leaders so he had him arrested? Pussy TACO folds again! Thank gawd

@grammymae.bsky.social · Jun 9

What were the charges? Unlawful gathering?

@blessedbygracek.bsky.social · Jun 9

So what are our elected paid reps going to do about it we need our country back we pay our reps to protect democracy why are they not doing their job we need our money back Our pleas for help fall on deaf ears

@mianeuse.bsky.social · Jun 9

Great news. What a travesty, yet another assault on our rights as citizens

@hmmorelli.bsky.social · Jun 10

He never should have been taken into custody in the first place.

@keithhouser6.bsky.social · Jun 9

That’s great.

David Huerta is an American hero. Donald Trump is an American piece of shit. .

Max L. Dunn · Jun 10

Some good news...

Heimatplanet · Jun 10

Let's give it a thought how much a person like the orange idiot spends time and energy on coming up with the best next attack of those he fears. In this case, he combined several issues of his: Newsom's likely run for pres., Cali's free spirit, unions, work force people, pretending "strength" etc..

@debi58.bsky.social · Jun 10

👏👏👏👏👏👏

@gimmebabies.bsky.social · Jun 9

Thank God and thank you, protesters

Wium · Jun 10

He needs to sue those clowns for illegal arrest, assault eith the intetion to cause grievious bodily harm as well as sue them in civil court for illegal/extrajudicial incarceration.

Benji Krause ✊🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📷🪐🐕🐈‍⬛🖖 · Jun 9

I have a feeling that Trump/ICE/DHS/FBI are going to do a lot of these “catch-and-release” operations as a way to keep everyone off balance. They want everyone to know: “We can come and get you, anytime, anywhere, for any reason. And you can’t stop us because we own the courts too.”

@ffflowergirl.bsky.social · Jun 9

NEVER should have been arrested! Courts, do the right thing.

@topdowndriver.bsky.social · Jun 9

OK David. Now get back out there and do it again.

I hope he's OK. From the videos it looked like he hit his head on the ground.

Syberarky · Jun 9

Good. He will be back on the streets leading protesters as is his right!

OregonKate13 · Jun 10

David might do better organizing the troops (according to the affidavit, which may not be true) he was taunting)

iammenotu · Jun 10

Good news but the sting of unlawful detention is a strong motivator for maybe not so peaceful protests.

@jonathanmlewis.bsky.social · Jun 9

This is going to be a major lawsuit.

VirusSucks.com · Jun 10

Anyone has a right to document ICE operations, including recording what happens during raids. Document the obstruction of recording of ICE operations, without getting in the way, to reduce criminal liability exposure and build broader community support for the cause. Then sue under the Bane Act.

Richard 'Rick Mack' Mccloskey · Jun 9

And Trump ‘s justice department, and or the LAPD, will not charge him. If they do, those charges will be dropped. No way can they get a jury to convict him in LA.

Attil22 · Jun 9

Time to sue the Trump administration for the violation of David’s 1st Amendment rights

M Foster · Jun 9

Maybe some big law firm aught to be on the right side of history and defend him (pro bono) if he is still facing charges and also sue the hell out of ICE and the individuals that hurt him

Phill Ochs · Jun 10

General strike

@honeybdg.bsky.social · Jun 10

mataliandy · Jun 9

Now we need the unions to coordinate with mutual aid groups across the country to set up a massive national strike and a support network to keep people afloat. We're running out of options to stop this dictatorial putsch.

Convicted of 34 felonies & liable for fraud & sexual assault, Trump ignores the Constitution, the law and the courts. He exploits the Presidency for personal financial gain, and to change the USA from a Constitutional Republic into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy.
