How can we know they’re real agents if they refused to show ID? Masked guys “had guns hanging all over them….“None of them had the same letters on the front of their vests. …One had light-colored jeans and sneakers on, and one had on a Red Sox hat.” Unmarked cars. Video ⬇️ 🎁 wapo.st/4kIGFke

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.

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.

What happened to Senator Padilla can happen to any American. Video footage clearly shows Senator Padilla identifying himself as a sitting United States Senator. He was then pushed into a hallway, forced to the ground, and handcuffed. An officer even blocked his aide from recording the incident.

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.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

My extremely traditional hypermasculine dad was complaining that, “you’re not allowed to be a man anymore” and I said, “no, you can, being a man is good, you just can’t be a dick to people,” and he thought about that for a minute then nodded. “Alright, yeah, that makes sense.” There’s still hope!

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent in the elevator with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance. The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.

If Bill Clinton raped girls on Epstein’s island or other properties, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life. If Donald Trump raped girls on Epstein’s island or other properties, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life. That wasn’t so difficult, was it?
