They want conflict, don't give it to them

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Authoritarians count on fear and confusion. Be prepared. Stay calm, stay safe, & stay informed. This ACLU guide is essential for every protester. Share it. Print it. Carry it. Power comes from knowing where you stand.

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

I saw Reagan get shot. I saw the Challenger explode. I saw 9/11. I saw January 6 Capitol insurrection. Seeing a US Senator in 2025 thrown to the ground and cuffed for trying to ask a question with words is the most terrifying American event. #cdnpoli #uspoli

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

@housegop.bsky.social @senategop.govpeeps.us So, your orange Messiah is paying folks to attend his military/birthday parade.

The same day Hitler was sworn in as German Chancellor, he PARDONED eight thousand Germans who had committed violent acts, starting with those in his own earlier failed coup… Sound familiar?! 🤚

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT LLC is owned by ...DJT. He's really worried about turnout for his little parade. washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

💯💯

“She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

Maga doesn’t get it. What they’re doing to others may come around and be done to them. Guess they don’t care about “the golden rule”.

substack.com/home/post/p-... I won't say this is true, I have zero way of knowing. But if any of it is true the 2024 election has to ripped apart and investigated. Please read this and think it through. The 7 swing states going the way they did and the 7:00 PM call of the election was stunning!

If they can handcuff a US Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you! This is the open curtain telling you what is coming. It is going to be as bad as your worst nightmare. You must resist this weekend, you just must. Else all is lost!!!

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

Ramming cars and raiding churches: The ways ICE is becoming more aggressive in arresting migrants

Damn right!! 👊

Kimmel destroys Krasnov.

Well said, in stating the obvious. Anyone who has experience with sociopathic narcissists can see this clearly.

When they inevitably defend the way Senator Padilla was treated, keep in mind they’ll defend literally anything.

Be aware: Speaker Johnson just spoke to press and said that Padilla's behavior rises to the level of a censure. Are you freaking joking me.

In no universe did Senator Alex Padilla “lunge” at anyone. This administration is full of pathological liars.

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

They lie about everything

Unarmed woman who poses no threat to anyone and is just trying to go home gets shot by police in LA. This is what fascism looks like.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

This video shows what happened to Sen. Padilla after they forcibly removed him from Kristi Noem's press conference. He's given orders from the officers that would cause him to smash his face, then pushed to the ground and handcuffed. Via: x.com/elex_michael...

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

@therickwilson.bsky.social: If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe. WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=cEqM...

...and another!

BREAKING: An ICE vehicle just RAMMED into a civilian car in Boyle Heights. Then they gassed it. Then they dragged out the driver. All three people in that car are U.S. citizens. This is militarized racial profiling on steroids.
