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

This is the lede. There is a woman on camera in charge of a lot of people with guns. She says they are going to liberate a domestic population center from democratically elected officials and violate too many laws to count in the process. I have zero time for anything else.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

Call your Congressional representatives and tell them to impeach Noem.

Alex Padilla is an American citizen of Mexican descent. The video of a Mexican-American being manhandled by thugs will play extremely well with the sort of trash who support Trump. Decent people are outraged. Shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture are thrilled.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

If the feds’ objective is to “liberate” Los Angeles and California from its democratically elected leadership, then this not a peacekeeping mission but a program of invasion.

It is imperative to recognize and call out this regime's bigoted identity politics. Their treatment of nonwhite electeds amounts to Taneyism. To them, these officials hold no authority they are bound to respect. Padilla, McIver, Baraka are merely the latest. They are doing this to POC on purpose.

My fellow white people: if you have friends or family who voted for Yrump, make sure they see the footage of Senator Alex Padilla being assaulted by federal authorities while he was trying to do his job. He was not breaking the law. He clearly identified himself.

I stayed up late last night to finish reading Sunrise on the Reaping, the newest book in Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games series. This book tells the story of Haymitch Abernathy's reaping and "victory" in the 50th Hunger Games.

I urge people to complain about the lack of information about the native people the land was stolen from. Or complain about anything trying to whitewash chattel slavery.

Of course, this is why they're still shouting that the victims of these roundups are violent criminals, even as we see them targeting elementary schools and construction sites. And this is why it's important to keep sharing examples of the people they're actually going after.

To remove vaccines from ACIP guidelines, which seems to be the end goal here, is effectively a ban. If a vaccine is not recommended, Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance can refuse to cover it. Few people can afford to pay for the cost out of pocket. RFK Jr's end game is to ban vaccines!!!

My replies aren’t the place for your weird QAnonish ReSiStAnCe fantasies. The real world exists. You need to elect more Democrats. You needed to vote for VP Harris without denigrating her, you needed to & still need to have hard convos with your 53% & 60% white friends/family. 🫶

I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.

Important to know that the very footage that is appalling all of us--rows of faceless men in riot gear, protestors running, clouds of gas--is what Trump and Miller and the MAGA-sycophant anti-city press have had a collective hard-on for since the campaign. This will be wall-to-wall on Fox all week.>

I don’t have any words. I don’t know what to do. I’m so ashamed of us, of the white people in this country who did this. I’m so fucking angry and heartbroken and scared.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Messed around in the kitchen today and made Filipino food for dinner. I made garlic fried rice and Spam sisig. Delicious. The only bad thing was I forgot to eat with it the carrot pickles I made this weekend!
