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

Fuck these people. (BTW, Abe didn’t specify how)

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

The administration's goons are now manhandling United States senators for asking questions at a press conference.

#54/2025 Former Gov. Candidate Justin Barbera [R-NJ] was charged with egregiously failing to pay child support to the point that his former spouse had to report him to the authorities. Another deadbeat Republican who refuses to take care of his own kids.

BREAKING: SENATOR PADILLA HANDCUFFED AND THROWN TO THE GROUND AFTER BEING FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM PRESS CONFERENCE.

THIS A UNITED STATES SENATOR ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA BEING PHYSICALLY SHOVED OUT OF A MEETING ABOUT WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING TO THE BIGGEST CITY IN OUR STATE.

They're arresting Black & Brown members of Congress ONLY 🤬

Sen. Alex Padilla was just removed from Kristi Noem's press conference in Los Angeles (video: Bill Melugin/Fox News)

here's today's post: "we need to talk about this vampiric shitweasel" — what’s happening in LA is this fucker’s fault. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

#FIFA is a trap ICE is working the door This is the first public event on American soil that has ever required paperwork to attend. THIS IS NOT OK #BOYCOTTFIFA

WTF! youtube.com/shorts/k5V5Z...

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

FOX MEMPHIS — STUDY: “States that weakened gun laws saw rise in child deaths… Tennessee is one of those states…. Policy matters…” Imagine that. Full: www.fox13memphis.com/news/states-...

Calvin & Hobbes is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic strips of all time and I feel like we STILL underrate it.

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

The Supreme Court's fourth opinion is in Martin v. U.S., a "wrong-house raid" case. It's a qualified victory for victims of police misconduct, rejecting a sweeping grant of immunity and allowing a suit for damages to move forward, without answering every big Q. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

MSNBC correspondent in the heart of LA… @MarshaBlackburn @RepOgles @RepTimBurchett guessing the Fox fear fest pipe you’re hitting all day long isn’t showing y’all this…

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby. 
Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

So like…. I understand and am in agreement that Black people should care about Ice as it’s affects black immigrants too HOWEVER, yall can’t come at black folks, berating them. We are TIRED. Did you not see the election results ? Surely one could understand the feeling of betrayal (again)
