The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

Alex Padilla is an American citizen of Mexican descent. The video of a Mexican-American being manhandled by thugs will play extremely well with the sort of trash who support Trump. Decent people are outraged. Shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture are thrilled.

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.

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."

Every prominent Democrat in the country should jump on this immediately. Enough bullshit cowering on this issue. Get on this! Trump just handed you a massive weapon. Use it!

apnews.com/article/irs-... The Senate action to confirm this deeply unqualified and illegitimate Trump nominee is disgraceful. The IRS is on the verge of collapse. If Americans think the tax system is rigged there will be mass noncompliance.

“IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!”—trump. Yet he pardoned more the 1500 violent criminals who attacked me and my colleagues.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. #AccountabilityForJanuary6th

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

If you are angry with a protester for throwing a rock or lighting a fire, that is precisely what Trump *wanted* to happen. He is the cause of this behavior. Hold Trump, who has all the power, accountable, not some desperate kid on the street Trump wants to use as an excuse for totalitarianism.

Mission creep. "National Guard troops began protecting immigration agents as they made arrests in Los Angeles on Tuesday, an expansion of their duties that had been limited to protecting federal property." apnews.com/article/los-...

In case you forgot: - Trump is on the Epstein files - Trump is trying to pass a budget that’ll cause 10M people to lose their healthcare and which will massively increase ICE and DHS’ budgets - Trump is invading Los Angeles to stop protests against ICE.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Thou shalt not force good horses to trample peaceful protesters and pretend thou art the good guys.

Bigly mistake, ABC

Mayor Karen Bass isn't taking any shit from a felon.

"Mainstream media has a duty to inform its audience that Trump/Miller policies are in fact hateful. But it rarely does so. Moran is to be commended for speaking truth to power. Speaking truth to power is, after all, what journalists are supposed to do." — @nberlat.bsky.social

EXACTLY!

Democrats should introduce articles of impeachment for RFK jr Even if it doesn’t work, which it probably won’t, democrats need to make clear that he’s not gonna get away with it

Lame-duck washed dead-ender desperately seeking relevance.
