HAPPENING NOW: A federal judge is set to hold a hearing on Governor Gavin Newsom’s request for a temporary restraining order that would bar the Trump administration’s use of the state national guard amid protests against immigration raids in LA. Hearing starting now before Judge Breyer 🧵⬇️

Look at how well they play the game.

Money doesn't protect you (look at Musk), position doesn't protect you (look at Padilla). The only thing that will protect you is the power of the people working together. The Fascists will lose, they always have.

Senator Padilla is not a young man. What happened if they broke a bone or hurt him. DHS forcing a sitting Senator and older man to the ground. What a image. This was cruelty on video.

Nothing like Kristi Noem dismissing Padilla as “political theater.”

HE LITERALLY SAYS “I AM SENATOR ALEX PADILLA.”

WATCH: California Sen. Alex Padilla is handcuffed and detained at DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in LA 👇

I look forward to the both sides framing of Senator Padilla being assaulted by ICE Agents for trying to asking Kristi Noem questions during her press conference. It's going to be a wild night.

The NYT, WSJ, and WaPo are all headlining that Padilla "forcibly removed." Which conveniently ignores the slammed-to-the-ground part.

Note Kristi Noem keeps talking as Sen. Padilla is manhandled, thrown to the ground and handcuffed.

🚨BREAKING: U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California was just handcuffed and detained. His “crime”? Interrupting Kristi Noem during a press event. What country is this?

I've known Alex Padilla for years, he is an incredibly committed fighter for Californians and immigrant communities. The Trump Administration continues to needlessly escalate disagreements and act in increasingly authoritarian ways. It's beyond times we make it clear we won't stand for this.

Democratic US Senator Alex Padilla was shoved out of a room, forced to the ground and handcuffed by security after attempting to ask a question at a press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reut.rs/4l4iOev

VIDEO: Here is the Regime treating a duly elected U.S. Senator like a farm animal because he had the temerity to ask questions of Kristi Noem. Fascism is here. The jackboot of Big Government is pressing down on all our faces, and the only question is what we do next.

BREAKING: Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) was forcibly removed in handcuffs from a press conference in Los Angeles after attempting to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem questions.

Alex Padilla, a US Senator getting dragged out of Kristi Noem's press conference for asking questions. This is not America.

Here is Senator Alex Padilla's entire full statement after being detained by Donald Trump and Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security. Like he said, if they're doing this to a sitting Senator, imagine what they're doing to other people. Unconscionable.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, reacting to Senator Padilla being handcuffed and forcibly removed from Kristi Noem’s press conference: “I’ve seen that one clip. It’s horrible. It is shocking at every level. It’s not the America I know.”

Consent manufacturing machine go brrrr

A long-running U.S. investigation of MS-13 has uncovered evidence at odds with Bukele’s reputation as a crime fighter. The inquiry, which began as an effort to dismantle the gang’s leadership, expanded to focus on whether the Bukele government cut a secret deal with MS-13 in the early years of ….

Same here.

Senator Padilla knowing his roots and standing up for Latinos has always been one of his strongest qualities. I think he more than proved his heart and mind are in the right place with one of the bravest, selfless acts by a Senator I’ve seen in a long time.

Hey, fellow white people! Yeah, you Whether you think you’re privileged or not, you are So, let’s USE that privilege for GOOD, for what’s RIGHT SPEAK OUT & LOUD about what’s happening to our friends, family, neighbors, communities DON’T BE SILENT You’re children are watching History is watching

There’s nothing like a Victorian cemetery to show you why vaccination matters

unarmed alone in a public place if they're doing this to a US Senator what are they planning for the city? this is going to get really bad soon

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Cute

JUNE 14 we are showing up EVERYWHERE! There are more than 1600 events taking place across the USA! We have a simple message: No violence. No thrones. No Crowns. No KINGS! Find your event! nokings.org #NoKings 🔗 raginggrannies.net

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

We kept telling Democrats that the crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists and the undocumented would be green light to go after everyone. Here we are, folks. Fascists come for everyone.

Sen. Padilla pushed to ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Another husband & father disappeared by ICE. Jesus Jose Carrero-Marquez worked as a Doordash driver while seeking asylum for the family after fleeing Venezuela. ICE is the gestapo doing the dirty work of a fascist monster. No gestapo in America. #NoKings www.newsfromthestates.com/article/ice-...

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is back and crazy as ever. Arkansas is: - #3 in violent crime - #5 in homicide - #2 in rape - #3 in aggravated assault Worse than California in every one. In fact you're TWICE as likely to be raped or murdered in Arkansas. #California #Arkansas #GavinNewsom #GOP #DNC #LA

Staff Sergeant Gonnell who was in the eye of the storm of the Jan 6 insurrection has something to say about the LA demos and law enforcement. On Jan 6 Trump did NOT send in troops even tho’ they were storming the Capitol. www.comicsands.com/gonell-trump...

Horses do whatever they can to not tread on you if you're on the ground, they're just programmed that way (it's why jockeys who fall while racing usually come out unscathed)... the footage of the LA cop trying to get his horse to stomp on a protestor is HORRIBLE to watch.
