ICE in CA with Texas plates 🤔

@padilla.senate.gov: "Imagine what they are doing to a lot of folks who may not feel free to speak up... and there's not cameras there to capture how they may or may not be treated. That's the big takeaway. This should be a wake up call for everybody across the country."

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

This is the page in the history book where future generations may ask, “Why didn’t more people speak up?" Don’t let this slide.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

And just like that, U.S. forces are involved.

There’s the Kristi Noem version—then there’s the truth. WATCH: Sen. Alex Padilla’s first interview since he was forced out of a federal building press conference… for daring to ask questions.

Perfection.

ICE TRIED TO ROLL OUT IN Manhattan-New Yorkers said "NAH" AND SENT THEM BACK INSIDE!!

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.

Update from the pimp:

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.

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov is an attempt to intimidate anyone with a dissenting view of this Administration and stop them from exercising their First Amendment rights. We will not be silenced. youtu.be/7dNpkFlP0BQ

Not-so-gentle reminder that one senator can use his privilege to pretty much grind the senate to a halt.

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Megabill would cost poorest households $1,600 a year, boost richest by $12K, according to Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper.

Different costume, same sentiment.

🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: ISRAEL HAS LAUNCHED STRIKES INSIDE IRAN

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

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

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy. I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

NEW: A federal judge in a hearing Thursday appeared deeply skeptical of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) legal defense of President Donald Trump federalizing the California National Guard in response to largely peaceful protests in Los Angeles. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla. Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked. In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question. Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla. You read that right. The American Fascist Party at work.

"If Trump is successful in LA, he will export his tactics everywhere. Trump doesn't only want to be authoritarian in the eyes of Angelinos. Autocrats aren’t in the business of imposing limits on their own power. He wants to be an autocrat everywhere. LA is where he’ll start but not where he’ll end."

This is so deeply concerning. The military serves the people, not a political party.

@therickwilson.bsky.social: If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe. WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=cEqM...

#GVerse #Spectacular - Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov just completely wrecked #Shit4Brains again. We're loving this.

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

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.

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

VIDEO: Here is the Regime treating a duly elected U.S. Senator like a farm animal because he had the temerity to ask questions of Kristi Noem. Fascism is here. The jackboot of Big Government is pressing down on all our faces, and the only question is what we do next.

Free speech is not a crime — full stop.

Homeland Security can’t even bring itself to apologize.

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”
