youtu.be/ebsHov1ytVE?... This is what you won't hear on major media. Senator Padilla announcing himself before stating that he has a question. The agents immediately seized him.

Torrance boy, 9, detained by ICE for planned deportation to Honduras. Community is outraged. He was arrested and taken to Texas. Orange Brandon is weak and pathetic. www.latimes.com/california/s...

i just watched a clip of stephen miller talking to hannity from a few days ago and my god is that guy a stone cold freak. like, everything about him is profoundly off-putting, like a bug in an eggar suit

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Gavin Newsom’s bullseye: “I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear. But I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give into him.”

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

To everyone saying things like, “I can’t believe it’s come to this.” Put your imagination hat on. Prepare yourself. This is early days.

Life With Our Kamala would be So Beautiful and Stable NOW....

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

Every accusation is a confession.

ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

The soldiers are taking people away in the night what the fuck are you going to do about it? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I remember the good old days when Secretaries of Defense didn’t insert themselves unsolicited into domestic politics on a daily basis. Not what the job is supposed to be about.

This is a pretext for suspending habeas corpus, which this Congress will bend over to let him do even if he doesn't try do it it unilaterally first. Very dark days ahead for the republic.

Sunday Thought…LA💙💪🏼💪🏼The guy who has released cop killers, cop beaters, Thieves Soundrels, and drug traffickers back onto our streets, HAS THE AUDACITY TO REFER TO AN ELECTED GOVENOR BY THIS NAME? 47 is The LOWEST FORM OF THE HUMAN SPECIES EVER😡🤬BENEATH THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT🤬

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Silence Is Complicity Straighten your spine Speak & live your truth

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Look at this fucking tool last night.

All we want is healthcare.

Many Americans are cheering for the destruction of our health agencies. Trump and Kennedy catered to a type of voter who has grown distrustful of America’s health care establishment, but possibly fomented a new type of distrust in federal health policy along the way. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

SNAP funding supports families, local farmers, and small grocery stores. In Little Falls, I met with Mayor Greg Zylka and local leaders at Coborn’s for a great discussion on strengthening these programs to ensure everyone has access to healthy, affordable food.

There are ways to government better and more efficient. But blindly cutting essential federal people, programs, and research makes waste, fraud, and abuse worse and undermines every American's prosperity, health, and safety.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Trying and failing to come up with the right words to describe what we are witnessing unfold in LA right now. Your resistance is here, support them

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

For those who may be worried— The head of the National Guard, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, General Steven S. Nordhaus, has stated that the National Guard will not follow illegal orders. This is consistent with the principle that military personnel are obligated to disobey unlawful orders

Hold up a sec: The best "alternative" to SpaceX is NASA itself--you know, those guys who put people on the Moon?

His raw emotion is heartbreaking, and as traumatized as he is to be a witness, imagine what the children and families in the graduation ceremony went through. How ICE agents can face their own children after tearing other families apart is beyond me. DO NOT BE INDIFFERENT. THIS MUST STOP.

Every single American should be able to cast their ballot free from racial discrimination, guaranteed by the Voting Rights Act. This week, I filed a brief urging the courts to protect the VRA and honors the generations of men and women who fought to ensure every citizen has an equal right to vote.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

How much are they paying ICE agents for each person they deport? I know they’re evil and would do it anyway, but I’m just saying, I watched some videos and got a feeling about the way they try to SNATCH as many people as possible…it feels like a bounty system is in place.

I couldn't confirm this, but it sounds like Bishop Swan and I 💯agree.
