What the hell is this? They’re kind of stuck to the branch, and when I pull them off there’s a white liquid inside them? They’re only one one branch

Take some rubbing alcohol or white spirits and put it on an earbud, take these mofos off.

Scale sounds and looks a lot like a plant disease, butscale are actually tiny, parasitic insects. They adhere to plants and feed off the plant's sap. ... Scale are usually divided into 2 groups: soft scale and hard, or armored scale

Neem oil can also be used on scale.
