The immediate mission is simple now. MILLIONS of us in the streets on Saturday for No Kings Day. EVERYBODY. WE are the cavalry.

Confirmed. Hoo boy.

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

A protestor in Chicago this morning bravely sat down in front of an ICE vehicle as raids continued at the courthouse. Immigrants actively working through their citizenship were detained directly from the courthouse. IG: @50501movement

We cannot and will not normalize what happened to @padilla.senate.gov. No one -- not a sitting US Senator or any human being -- should be thrown to the ground and handcuffed for simply doing their job. The abuse of power by the Trump administration is an attack on all of us.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

Remember.

Things are not going well for Trump inside Judge Breyer's courtroom (brother of the former SCOTUS justice).

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

Stay save out there and keep the camera rolling .

Sen. Kim: "My colleague was thrown to the floor, handcuffed, humiliated—it is not a humiliation of that individual Senator, it is a humiliation of this body...Shame upon those that instigated this, that followed through on this, it is something all of us need to stand against."

Warning trash is still out there

Here is the video of US Senator Alex Padilla being forcibly removed from a Kristi Noem press conference. Please make sure this video is everywhere. They claimed they didn't know who he was--but he identified himself. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

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.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

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.

Senator Alex Padilla was assaulted and handcuffed for asking Kristi Noem a question at a press conference. Rep. Monica McIver has been indicted for peaceful, lawful protest. Will the people who’ve been demanding Democrats risk assault and arrest, notice? Will they stop lying and start helping?

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.

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

An orange leopard ate his face.

Double.

I’ll be there, will you? No kings. No cults. Just the Constitution—and the people who hold the line.

The children (youngest 3yo) were given a bag of chips, a box of animal crackers, & a mini carton of milk as their sole rations for a day. They didn't have water to provide during family’s 1st day. On 2nd day, all 5 were given a single bottle to share. The 1 fan in room was pointed towards a guard.

Saturday is yet another staged Trump event, right down to the “diverse” crowd.

FIFA officials, players, support staff, families & friends are all subject to this treatment God help them if they don’t speak English Papers aren’t gonna make a difference Games shld be relocated to the co-host countries…Mexico & Canada That will burn his ass & utmost sign of disrespect

When women say no

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them it was because the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Please subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Why accountability matters: “Civilians have impersonated ICE agents while committing robbery (Pennsylvania), kidnappings (Florida, South Carolina), sexual assault (North Carolina) and other forms of public intimidation (Washington state, California). Opinion”

A thousand in crypto? So basically you’re getting a shitty fast food lunch (likely Chik Fil A) and the possibility of being seen on tv. 🥴

"There have been more than 30 incidents of police violence against journalists as of Tuesday, including 20 injuries, at least five of which required emergency room or urgent care visits..."

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

‪Immigrants of all statuses are under assault from Trump's ICE thugs, even if they follow the immigration rules. In Detroit, court dates become sting operations and immigrants are damned if they show up or if they don't. We demand investigations! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

According to the authoritarian wannabe dictator who deployed these men, “LA is burning”. It’s not. He's the one rubbing two sticks together to try start a fire. Don't believe the narrative. Remain clear-eyed and share the truth. 🌸🌺🌻 ❤️&🙏🏼 for LA This moment of ☮️ by 🎥 @saroal on TT
