AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

Good on MSNBC for giving time to the Padilla interview, without interruption of commercial or switch between shows. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social is so damned good.

This is shameful. Senator Padilla was merely asking a question on behalf of his constituents. The use of physical violence to silence speech from any American, not to mention an elected official, is indefensible.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

Jessica: Gavin Newsom is speaking for a majority of Americans. There was a new Quinnipiac poll: Donald Trump -12 approval, -11 on immigration, -16 on deportation. He has taken his best issue and decimated it

“The American people are facing one of the great challenges of the 21st century, as great as that confronting the French in 1940, when they had to decide whether to join the Resistance or not.”

If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention. 🎥: Time, 💬 Greta Thunberg

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.

Newsom: Police should police—not the military. That’s what happens in third-world countries, and that’s exactly what Donald Trump is trying to impose on the American people: a mindset of militarization, power, dominance, and control—not the rule of law. This is a very, very serious moment.

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.

Get your popcorn ready.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

Barry Blitt’s first 100 days cover for the New Yorker.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.
