California national guard troops and marines deployed to LA to help restore order have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they don't want to join. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Direct quote from the front desk at a Burbank hotel: “if ICE was staying here, I wouldn’t be able to divulge that… but I can confidently tell you they are not and you should keep up the good work because it’s a topic of conversation at every hotel in the city right now, so keep the pressure on.”

Not that it even matters terribly. But one of their claims was that he had no identifying lapel of whatever. But I just noticed in the photo on my article he’s literally wearing a US senate shirt.

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

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.

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

This is a watershed moment. Senator Padilla getting thrown to the ground and handcuffed. Trump admitting his mass deportations are targeting hard-working people that are contributing vitally to the US economy. Trump sending troops into a US city that even local law enforcement didn't ask for. 1/

My six hour flight to San Francisco just landed and a lot of people are just learning about the assault of Senator Padilla and outrage is murmuring through the cabin… “That’s scary! what is happening?!?” One woman near me said. The guy next to her informed of the No Kings protests.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

She will not. They will promote her if they can. As such it is up to Democrats in the House to file articles of impeachment [I KNOW THEY WILL FAIL] - FILE THE ARTICLES and keep bringing them up ALL OF THE TIME. Tell folks that you will impeach her if you have the majority in the future.

Immigrants aren't stealing your money and giving it to billionaires. Republicans and Trump are with their budget bill. They want you to blame immigrants so you won't blame them.

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.

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

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Keep the comparisons going because the Republicans would do the same damn thing. The hypocrisy meter breaks with that crowd. What's important is the press actually present those comparisons to the blowhard GOP & allies and try to get an answer. 📺 bsky.app/profile/theb...

Or if, at any point in his last 2 years, Joe Biden had ordered the TX National Guard into Houston over Greg Abbott's vociferous objection, under a law requiring him to go "through the governor"? Articles would have been drawn up the same day.

There are a few options right now in response to this moment. You can spiral On Here, or you can get up right now and go demonstrate and make some fucking noise wherever that makes sense in your neck of the woods The Summer of Action is upon us, friends. It's on us to make their plans impossible.

Maybe quit voting for their fucking bills then? Maybe quit confirming their nominees? Maybe shut down the Senate with the many procedural tools available to you? Maybe do something other than send sternly worded letters?

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's you on the ground.

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.

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention? It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country. A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.
