We are so far past every red line. What now? The republicans have completely given up on America.

Noem must be impeached for this action alone.

Unfortunately, the fascist authoritarian crowd in the US does not respect Congress.
IMHO, There will come a day when Congress needs bodyguards that answer only to them.
January 6th was sadly a preface.

“an unlawful attack on a member of Congress is a crime under U.S. federal law. Specifically, 18 U.S.C. § 111

This statute criminalizes assaults on federal officers, and members of Congress are considered federal officers.”

This is the kind of thing I would expect to see in an autocratic regime. Wait! I guess that is where the US is now. We are past the 'creeping authoritarianism' stage, and now in the 'full-blown authoritarianism' stage. Only the people can put a stop to it, because our institutions are failing.

Not sure why we're so much more enraged now that it's a senator. What did we think was going to happen when we did nothing over it happening to average citizens

rhodb.bsky.social•11 days ago

Sen. Padilla was trying to get answers fr Noem so he could help these average citizens who are being cruelly & unnecessarily deported. That’s why Noem’s goons violently ejected him fr the presser.

maiziedan.bsky.social•11 days ago

Why he was there is irrelevant. Average citizens entitled to question their reps have been getting tossed out, dragged out, hit, arrested and no one did anything but film it. It's the First They Came happening in real life

rhodb.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes; you’re right. The only way to fight these acts, it seems, is after the fact in courts, when these citizens are vindicated. The judiciary is the only branch that seems to be successful in checking this regime’s unlawful acts.

You think Senators should be treated like Kings?...or only Democratic Senators from California, who are fighting for illegal immigrants?

By the Way, enjoy your 'no kings' protest...its really meaningful...
