"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

'A Letter to Americans Still on the Sidelines, on the Eve of 'No Kings Day' FULL POST: johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-one-is-... #NoKingsDay

There’s an overwhelming number of awful things happening. My gentle suggestion is to consider attending a protest tomorrow if you can. In addition to exercising your rights, it can be helpful to be in a sea of people who share your values. MAGA has exploited this, and now it’s our turn.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Good morning, friends. In these contentious times, we have all been agitated and upset during conversations. It is far better to walk away, instead of responding right then. Breathe and gather your thoughts. And wait for calm.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.
