Kristi Noem: “we are arresting dangerous criminals” Oh really? Construction workers in Lubbock TX arrested because they have brown skin, not criminal records Kristi Noem must resign. She’s a criminal #Fascist

I want to live in the alternate universe where this happened

A United States Marine tells other soldiers to spoil Trump’s parade and not go to Los Angeles to go up against innocent peaceful citizens from protesting.

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention?  It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country. A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

Seems worth noting that Noem's story is that "no one knew who" Padilla was. Hmmm. You're in CA with US marines in LA. CA.... I think two senators? You don't know what one of the state's two senators looks like?

Trump is sunsetting FEMA and plans to distribute all disaster relief funds not out of the Dept of Homeland Security, but directly from the WHITE HOUSE. Disaster relief will be GROSSLY politicized. Governors will have to kiss the ring to get access to resources to help their states. More below:

Wow. If this is how Noem treats senators who ask questions, imagine how she'd treat an unruly dog-oh wait....

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

You'll probably spend that much on golf. I really believe it makes them feel good to know that they are causing pain and suffering.

BREAKING: US Senator Alex Padilla attacked by Kristi Noem’s Goons

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's *you* on the ground.

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

1/4 Keep your eyes on Congress too! Today, the House is poised to vote on a devastating rescission package that would gut $9.4 billion from programs Congress already approved—including ALL federal funding for NPR, PBS, and critical international aid. 📢 Take action: tinyurl.com/Clawback-bil...

Exactly!!! #Pinks

PM Mark Carney’s strongest words yet and he didn’t pull any punches. Canada’s future won’t be brokered behind closed doors in Washington or dictated by a tantrum-prone president who is more interested in ruling than leading! 🇨🇦 #MarkCarneyOurPM #USDemocracy open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.

There are rumors -- unconfirmed rumors -- that people are calling this number to report, you know, 👽aliens👽. Do not -- I repeat -- do not use this important telephone line for frivilous reasons. What if it got clogged and no one could the report the brown man peacefully shopping at their grocery?

Great clip. Glad to be standing up with all of you. 🩵💙🩵💙

Holy cow I nearly fainted. I didn't know any mainstream media had it in them. Please. Keep it up! @cnn.com #Pinks

As usual Rachel is right: “The most important story of our time is not what Donald Trump wants to do, but what the people of this country are going to allow him to do.” LFG America! Nonviolent resistance in the streets! No Kings! @maddow.msnbc.com

BREAKING: Gov. Newsom is asking for a restraining order on Trump/Hegseth's use of the military in Los Angeles, saying they are preparing to go on immigration raids with ICE. He wants a ruling within two hours. "They must be stopped immediately." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wonder how many of Trump’s Stormtroopers (ICE) in LA were part of the actual insurrection on January 6, 2021.

If some of my friends could help my mom with a 10, $15, $25, even $50 helps us pay for her care it could mean the difference of medical assistance helping me to help her. Thank you for your consideration. 💕 My mom is suffering with ALS Please think about making a donation. Click: gofund.me/8587b7b6

Exactly! And yet an elderly man's grew back almost overnight? Hey, we all know what happened. And this is a great picture to demonstrate why we know what we know!

Donald Trump is behaving like a tyrant, not a President. By turning the military against American citizens, he is threatening the very core of our democracy. I’m asking the court to immediately block these unlawful actions.

BREAKING: Republicans are panicking after Jon Ossoff exposed that hundreds of thousands of Georgians will lose coverage under their tax bill. Make sure everyone sees this.

Man, fuck this guy. What a disappointment.

The Trump Administration itself is a Mafia Regime 🤔

Kristi Noem: "In LA, what we're been going after is the worst of the worst. They're murderers." [Kristi Noem then raids a Home Depot to arrest people just looking to help with home improvement jobs.] Trump people lie so effortlessly and often.

If Trump gets away with deploying the Marines, this without too much push back, he will have made it much easier to deploy active duty troops here at home in the weeks, months, and years ahead.

Felon & co.'s manufactured crisis is not only causing disruption on purpose to LA & to society in general; it's a pretty significant financial drain too, $134 million to be precise. But sure, let's keep looking for where the mystical 'waste, fraud & abuse' is coming from. 🙄🤬

Denver stands with Los Angeles ✊

BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom says he has filed an emergency motion in federal court to block Trump's deployment of National Guard and Marines troops in Los Angeles.
