Good job Alex Padilla. I am proud of you! I am proud to be a Democrat.

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

Sen. Murphy: “They say that he didn’t identify who he was. Watch the video, he clearly states, ‘I am Senator Alex Padilla.’ They’re going to spin this, but I’m begging my Republican colleagues, don’t let them do it.”

These are the times that try men’s souls.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

@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...

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

You know, we used to study Dr Kings civil disobedience as something good. It was

This is why healthcare is too expensive. "Here’s a wild-but-true factoid: 10 of the 20 largest companies on the new Fortune 500 list derive profit from the 340B program. I guess you can’t throw off tens of billions of profits without titans of industry figuring out how to get their hands on it."

The troll bot farms went active tonight and they have but one message. Go be violent. DON'T!!! Don't give them what they want. Fight the long fight. Fight the smart fight!

I got no popcorn left at this point.

For all the “Russia participates in the START treaty which is why the bombers we’re in the open” level of cope out there: No they don’t. They suspended their participation in 2023. They just thought the bombers we’re safe

RIP the amazing Helen Keller, died this day 1968. “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much” “The most pathetic person in the world is some one who has sight but no vision.” “What I'm looking for is not out there, it is in me.”

The Fulton County, Georgia Board of Commissioners rejected the GOP’s nominations of prominent election deniers to the county board of elections. One refused to certify primary results. The other filed a lawsuit with false claims about voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I take the subway by myself multiple times literally every day and the most memorable things that have happened recently are that a very cute dog in a purple sweater was on my train car a few days ago and today a guy with a cane got on and literally four people immediately sprang up so he could sit

Red state Dems…
