This is OUTRAGEOUS. I am beside myself -- everyone should be. This is the United States of America. Every single fucking Democratic Senator and House member needs to be standing with Senator Padilla and speaking directly and authentically to the American people immediately.

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.

This story leaves me feeling both sad and heart-warmed. THIS: “She decided to do this in her own terms. She has no criminal record. A hardworking taxpayer who’s been working 12-hour shifts since she was 15, six days out of the week. She never asked for a handout. She didn’t get food stamps…”

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
