We all know what we saw. Our friend, Senator Alex Padilla exercising his duty to this country while the Trump administration forced him to the ground, and put him in handcuffs. There’s no sugarcoating it—these are dangerous times and we WILL hold the admin accountable. @schatz.bsky.social

Sen. Padilla, standing yards away: “I’m Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary…” DHS: “Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.”

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

I know this is going to get lost in all the *waves hands around wildly* going on out there, but this fascist government is trying to make what is already a gerrymandered-all-to-hell situation in Texas (that has given the far-right GOP a stranglehold here) even worse. Please help us push back.

Hi all! Sorry for all the back and forth on when I'm going to send this Kudoboard, but there's been a lot of back and forth on when the Paramount/Skydance merger is happening. Based on some advice I'm going to continue to wait on sending until we know about the merger. Keep posting in the meantime!
