Sign ideas for the #NoKings protests tomorrow:

So very wrong and sad

[alanis morissette voice] it's like raaa-ee-aaaaaain / on your military parade

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

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.”

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.

If you know about the very hands-on forced expulsion of U.S. Senator Alex Padilla from DHS press conference you need to watch it. Sure, a knucklehead standing on a burning car is a scary image. This is MUCH scarier. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R42v...

"you're unhappy because you spend too much time on your phone" speak for yourself i'm posting this shit from desktop like a true lunatic

One of the worst crimes of Russia’s war is the abduction of children. This Yale lab tracked the kids. Trump and Rubio cut the funding. You can help. Urge Rubio to reinstate the funding — and donate here. medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnoo...

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Yep

look who learned what 86 means

BREAKING: A fourth court has found that President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal, seeking to stretch the meaning of "invasion" beyond its plain meaning. The ruling blocks AEA deportations in the Western District of Texas. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

I guess one thing you're not supposed to say is that, in aggregate, immigrants contribute vastly more to America's economy & culture than the dull, mean-spirited rubes that compose Trump's coalition.

my main takeaway after spending the afternoon at the national history day competition is that the kids are pretty alright. also, that reactionaries are right to fear the consequences of kids learning the truth.
