The first civilian detained by Marines in Los Angeles was a Black man. You can’t ignore that this reflects a pattern of unequal treatment based on skin color. Racial profiling is illegal and unconstitutional. Don’t let this be buried under the wave of lawless behavior coming from Trump’s regime.

Marines in L.A. detained a civilian protester outside the Wilshire Federal Building—an Army vet on his way to the VA. He was zip-tied and handed to DHS. Marines now join ICE raids, raising alarms as 700 Marines and 4,000 Guard troops patrol U.S. streets… www.kcra.com/article/mari...

🇺🇸 In Los Angeles, Marines detained a U.S. Army veteran who was heading to the VA office at the federal building they were guarding. He wasn’t protesting—just crossing a taped boundary. He was zip-tied, held on the ground, and handed over to DHS. This is how we treat veterans now?

Another loss for Trump. Appeals court just shut down his bid to overturn the $5 million verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case. He’s still liable for sexual assault and defamation, And he’s still fighting an $83 million judgment on deck.

Brian Krassenstein The full panel of judges on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York has just rejected Donald Trump’s appeal in the defamation and sexual abuse case brought by E. Jean Carroll, upholding his loss. Trump is a sexual abuser and it’s being confirmed over and over again.😎🤬🍊💩

Today is the No King’s nation wide protest. Try to attend one close to you. It is very uplifting to be around others who feel the same as you. Feeling isolated is what they want. Community is how we build resilience and long term strength. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

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.

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.

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.

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.
