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 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.

At this point in time, I trust protestors far more to resolve situations peacefully, legally, and without violence than I do ICE or other militarized representatives of this autocratic federal government. The news media needs to adopt a whole different perspective on coverage.

DHS confirmed that ICE and CBP agents will be on site “for security” at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. ICE also reminded non-U.S. citizens to carry proof of legal status while attending the event.

Trump saying that he's only trying to save Los Angeles is a vicious lie - he's a sadistic narcissist. From 2020: "As wildfires were burning down houses in the state, the president basically said to us, 'I don't care. These people haven't done enough to deserve it.'"

The Purpose of Trump's Terror: What Trump Wants In LA Is Blood "The goal isn’t to scare off a few undocumented gardeners and housekeepers or terrify asylum-seeking mothers. It’s to normalize the idea that active-duty troops can be used on American streets against American citizens." bit.ly/4dYG8Ig

I know there’s serious news, but this? Too good not to share. Gavin Newsom’s office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trump’s unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A. protests. It’s trolling at its finest. The Force is strong with this one. 💀👑 #NoKings #FreedomToDissent

The Trump's DOJ is paying $5 million to the family of a woman who got shot because she 1) trespassed on federal property; 2) tried to break into a closed chamber of federal officials; and 3) ignored law enforcement commands to stop. 🎶 just a reminder 🎶

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot Do law enforcement. Period

Typical fucking Trump. Start a problem, get everybody all riled up, and now because they’re resting people illegally in Los Angeles and people are fighting back, he’s sending the national guard there. He wants to declare martial law. And this is how it’s gonna get done

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

GM Bluesky, Fuckery abounds as ICE increases their “raids.” Why don’t they have a uniform? Why don’t they have ID? Where are their warrants? I maintain that they are deputized Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Untrained cosplay cops doing the dirty work of racist MAGA leaders.

Someone needs to find out who Bondi’s “star” witness is. This person did not exist for any of the initial deportations hearings. What did Bondi offer this witness?

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

I wonder what the odds are that hundreds of additional Ukrainian “Trojan Horse” drones remain hidden in trucks across Russia, just waiting to be launched at additional targets over the coming days. Best of all — there’s very little Putin can do to prevent it!
