My friends, it's not just happening in a galaxy far, far away.

Says the guy who cut off House Impeachment Managers' attempt to put on witnesses at Trump's Senate trial (following his second impeachment related to January 6) because he wanted to get home for Valentine's Day.

Absurdities continue.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

Rep. Derek Tran: "Does the DOD have any plans to allow the military to follow the orders of President Trump when his orders violate the Constitution?" Hegseth: "I reject the premise of that question." Rep. Derek Tran: "I'll take that as a yes."

It is imperative to recognize and call out this regime's bigoted identity politics. Their treatment of nonwhite electeds amounts to Taneyism. To them, these officials hold no authority they are bound to respect. Padilla, McIver, Baraka are merely the latest. They are doing this to POC on purpose.

Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed. (video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)

Padilla engaging in Good Trouble.

This would be the part where she takes the little Constitution out of her pocket and tosses it to him.

Remember, don't call them "illegals." That's a slur used only on nonwhite people. FOX has never called a white lawbreaker "an illegal." Call them "Christian refugees." It's accurate, moral, and will infuriate the right fake Christians.

My mood when it comes to the National Guard and the Marines’ invasion of LA…

Is that what Jesus would do, MAGA Mike?

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

There were a few hundred people protesting the ICE actions in California today. Most probably lived in the neighborhood that had been raided by armed, uniformed men who looked like soldiers and not police. The idea that the response to this 2,000 National Guard is fucking insane.

“Because when a political movement lies compulsively, rationalizes cruelty, and flinches at accountability, the question isn’t just ‘what do they believe?’ but ‘why must they believe it?’” open.substack.com/pub/theratio...

UPDATE thread: This is likely the kind of shadow docket decision coming for NIH, HHS, and other agencies next week. Get ready, US scientists. Let's focus public attention on the Supreme Court now, so John Roberts worries about the backlash if he votes to allow the DOGE firings. 🧪 1/3

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

This feels like Alien vs Sexual Predator

Here are 3 of 5 suppositions @dandrezner.bsky.social makes about the Trump-Elon spat. They're good suppositions! But from the start I've wondered if there's something MORE about this relationship we don't understand--possibly HOW Elon helped Trump win. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/are-donald...

Dropkick Murphys debuting their new song. Yessss!!! I’ll stand with them!!! 👊👊 youtu.be/xpZIpteh3FA?...

Congrats to @kateshaw.bsky.social on not letting this barely sentient haircut bullshit his way past her.
