The nation was shocked as Secretary Noem's goons tackled and handcuffed U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California as he attempted to ask Noem a question at a press conference. For more on this and this week's other top stories, look no further. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/june-13-week...

This is a reminder if you are going to the protests tomorrow: Cover your Face Bring Water, First-Aid, and Anti-Tear Gas / Pepper Spray Kits Go with someone else and stay together Lastly Bring an American Flag, the optics of police or military shooting at American flags would not go well

Kristi Noem, Dr. Phil, and ICE went to this woman’s home in Huntington Park, CA at 6am to make a spectacle and you want me to be satisfied with @governor.ca.gov flowery words? Watch. It’s disgusting. Noem belongs in prison.

A pregnant mother of four in California was shocked to see around a half-dozen vehicles carrying heavily armed, masked ICE agents outside her home Thursday morning and even more concerned when she spotted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem along for the raid.

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

Yes he’s a dictator. No he doesn’t have to remove elections to prove that. He just hasn’t done it yet.

Talk about a rigged system!

Important context for coverage of Sen. Padilla's getting manhandled and cuffed today at DHS Sec Noem's press conference: Padilla is ranking member on the Senate subcommittee that oversees immigration.

You are about to get angry. Again. You’ve been warned. 🧵

Trump’s $45 million birthday parade with its tanks and helicopters is an authoritarian ego trip. But the real show of force this weekend won't take place in D.C., it’ll happen in the streets as protesters gather nationwide to declare "No Kings in America!"

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.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Cruelty is the point, and chaos is the blueprint.

Isaac Asimov on, "If God is Dead, Everything is Permitted?"

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military: “We don't take an oath to a King. We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator” “We take an oath to the Constitution." #FreedomToDissent

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

Humiliated by China, Harvard, Elon Musk, and the federal courts, Trump has launched a war inside America on vulnerable people inside America. Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

A federal program to protect US cities against extreme heat has just evaporated

So much this…

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
