🔥 The court just confirmed what we all know — the military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. This win is not just for California, but the nation. It’s a check on a man whose authoritarian tendencies are increasing by the day. End the illegal militarization of Los Angeles now!

Gov. Gavin Newsom is conducting an extraordinary press conference on the federal judge's ruling against the fascist authoritarian Trump regime ordering the National Guard to Los Angeles, California and the only cable news station carrying it live is MSNBC. Shame on CNN!

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.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

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.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Know your rights before you hit the streets. Authoritarians count on fear and confusion. Be prepared. Stay calm, stay safe, & stay informed. This ACLU guide is essential for every protester. Share it. Print it. Carry it. Power comes from knowing where you stand.

While Trump deliberately escalates tensions in vulnerable communities, don't forget: He's also directing the Republican Congress to pass a budget that would abandon the very people who most need support. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/06/h...

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

Governor Newsom has words for Trump.

Newsom speaks up against Trump, "Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to protect themselves, but they do not end that way." www.reddit.com/r/stockbetz/...

Gov. Newsom said the arrival of National Guard and Marine troops was not about the protests that followed a series of ICE raids. It was part of a calculated “war” by Trump intended to upend the foundations of society and concentrate power in the White House. #ResistTrump
