DHS is also lying about him being repeatedly told to back away. The video shows the men who pushed him don’t even open their mouths, they just grab him and get them out of the room without saying a word.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Alex Padilla being the guy who got cuffed puts an incredibly fine point on this. He became a senator precisely BECAUSE he is a mild-mannered engineer. Unlike a lot the rest of the Latino Democratic establishment that cut their teeth, he was not a flamethrower. He was a quiet nerdy kid.

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

Needs more press: -227 kids have died from influenza so far this flu season -90% unvaccinated -kids flu vax rates have dropped from 64% to 49% in past 5 years Kids are dying from anti-vax nonsense and very few are reporting it. mailchi.mp/messages/pan... Thank you: @jennifernuzzo.bsky.social

How does anyone look at the utterly horrifying images and videos in Gaza right now and justify Israel's actions? There is no rationalization for this genocidal madness. If you support it, check to see how you refuse to see Palestinians as human beings.

@harvard.edu is offering an array of free classes, including many that discuss government structure, power checks, & constitutional foundation. An educated populace is a super weapon against fascism & tyranny. Grab some friends & sign up today. #AltGov #AltFam #AltCitizen

"We are free as bodies, or not at all. And so health care is a right, one of the most basic... Dying senselessly is no act of freedom. And too many people in the USA do die senselessly because we have the wrong idea of freedom." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

🚨Watch this video! Recently GOP members of Congress—plus Matt Gaetz—toured the facility the Trump admin imprisoned hundreds of men in El Salvador without trial. This video shows how the Venezuelans made the international SOS sign and were pleading for freedom and for help!

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

America's thick-witted trifecta:

Fucking WOW.

Alsobrooks to RFK Jr: "You are the wrong person for this job. And you had in this hearing today the unmitigated gall to say at the beginning of your testimony that China is ahead of the United States in healthcare because China does not have DEI."

FFS!!! Then why did you take this job? Resign now and go back to living off of that Kennedy family trust fund and being of no use to society

RFK Jr. says we should be a “colorblind” country. That’s not a thing. Health disparities by race are REAL: cancer, maternal mortality, COVID hospitalizations… Black, Hispanic, Native communities bear the brunt. “Colorblindness” is lazy and dangerous racism. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cult...

The man who wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the United States because of terrorism is meeting this week with the former head of Al Qaeda in Syria.

🚨 We are sounding the alarm - a House committee plans to vote today to pass a tax bill that includes a proposal to grant the Treasury Sec unchecked discretion to strip any nonprofit of its tax-exempt status by branding them a "terrorist supporting org."

Aaaand there it is.

Trump fails to understand that “gifts” like this are not “free of charge” which is wht the Founding Fathers wrote the emoluments clause into the Constitution. Fast legal action is called for here. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/u...

A tariff is a tax on you

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

On what planet is a jet provided by a foreign government ever something that the U.S. Government would rely upon for the security of the President of the United States?

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

Abolish ICE.

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

It’s not that they don’t know what the constitution says. They know what it says. Just like they knew what it said when they asked Pence to ignore it. They just don’t care. They believe it can be rewritten by bending it to their will, if enough of them decide to do it.

a democratic mayor was abducted by ICE and chuck schumer is posting with the gusto of a guy who didn’t know guac was extra at chipotle

Kash Patel is the living definition of waste, fraud, and abuse—all on the taxpayer’s dime. Flying private to see his girlfriend, skipping critical meetings, and totally unfit for the job he was never qualified for in the first place. But hey… playing FBI Director is rough work.

#KashOut

As mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka has a responsibility to ensure that facilities operating in the city are adhering to laws that protect the safety and wellbeing of occupants and residents.

Word is Attorney General Pam Bondi is seeking records and testimony from journalists. Please be mindful of how you communicate use secure formats, follow established guidance, and above all, protect your identity at all costs.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Israeli military extends detention of Palestinian journalist despite acknowledging lack of evidence" Good headline from CNN

Fetterman needs to resign.

New Jersey mayor arrested at US immigration detention center, prosecutor says reut.rs/3GOBOib

Should remain the top story.

Thank you @govpritzker.illinois.gov !!!
