A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

we’re going to think about this girl’s smile all day (and yes… she’s found her forever home 🥰)

We’ve had a busted sprinkler for a hot minute, and haven’t yet gotten it repaired. This morning it gave me a reminder that there can still be joy even when things are broken. 🪶 (I believe this is an Anna’s Hummingbird)

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

Everything sucks so here's a pic of a frog on a lily pad in bloom.

There are ICE agents at the employee parking lot by the Harbor exit of Disneyland.

Chicago be aware ICE tactical teams are expected to arrive on Thursday w "mini tanks" to start more raids. 🍊 wants a reaction so there's an excuse to do what he's done in LA - don't take the bait: - Don't open your door to randos - Carry ID, passport is best - Film it all - Demand your lawyer

HOLY SHIT!!! Lawrence O'Donnell just reported that the members of the National Guard that have been deployed to LA are not being paid because the orders have been delayed by the felon.

Well said Assemblymember Isaac Bryan!

Trump appointees at the State Department are illegally blocking nearly 200 Fulbright scholarships, awards meant to send American professors and researchers abroad for educational exchange.

Spokane, Washington tonight became the center of national attention after a peaceful protest outside an ICE facility was escalated by police.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

Moore's Law is an observation made by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, in 1965. He predicted that the number of transistors on a microchip would double every two years, leading to exponential growth in computing power while reducing cost. Not done yet. www.thebrighterside.news/post/groundb...

Happy Tuesday Evening from adoptable kitty, Ally! Ally is always up for fun and games, she loves her playtime and she is such a bright little light! This sweetie is 1 years old, she does well with children over the age of 10, and she is looking to be the one and only animal in her forever home.

This guy was full on running and then went "Oh shit. Shakespeare." And stopped to watch.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Newsom's request for a TRO was NOT, repeat, not declined. What really happened is that the administration requested 24 hours to respond, and the court granted that request. There is a hearing on Thursday as to whether to issue the restraining order. www.threads.com/@annepmitche...?

The designs for a memorial to Queen Elizabeth II have been revealed. Each would see a new bridge across the lake in St. James' Park. My favourite is this from @JLG_London - its understated elegance is most apt. You can see all the designs here: competitions.malcolmreading.com/queenelizabeth…

I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it...

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID. The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

If you have not already watched this, please do. The economic impact of mass deportations is massive, and is a story that is being overlooked. We need to talk more about this while we protest. youtu.be/ENyHfi6Y8W8

We know a lot of feds are already scared of retaliation and may be hesitant to join protests. And clearly union leaders are being targeted. But we're here to say that we still have 1st amendment rights and there are ways you can protect yourself from surveillance (www.eff.org/pages/survei...).

In 2021, DOL sued Americare for underpaying home healthcare employees. In January, a judge ordered them to pay $15M to workers and they appealed. Here's the fun part: Trump’s solicitor of labor nominee, Jonathan Berry, is managing partner at one of the firms representing Americare in this case.

There is a galaxy of difference between the Rebellion and the Empire’s faithful. We lead with hope, unity, and courage. We watch each other’s flanks. Even when stunned, struck, or fired upon, we hold the line. Our strength is in our resolve. Our resistance is our weapon.

We only rate dogs. This is a very majestic mop, potentially several. Please only send dogs. This is not complicated. Thank you… 14/10

Always an Onion article.

Meiselas: Terry Moran, if you’re listening, we’ve just learned that your agreement has apparently been terminated by ABC. We want you to know—you will always have a place here at The MeidasTouch Network.

Street born animals are extremely clever & resourceful This mother cat in Corum 🇹🇷 took her sick kitten to the vet, waited for treatment to be completed & carried the kitten back to the garden she lives in Quite extraordinary! #catsofx #cats #cat 📽️Sungurlu Pet Veteriner Kliniği

Remember this: be unpredictable. “Outrun, outlast… make it impossible for them to justify the cost.” They’ve already wasted $131 million. We are fully committed to peaceful demonstrations, and just as committed to protecting our communities.

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

He is a weak, feckless, coward of a fu*king moron. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...
