Today, I stand with the millions of Americans making clear this country doesn't belong to a king. It’s a democracy, and it belongs to the people.

🔥🔥🔥

Sometimes, I just don't know what to say. How do I preach love in a hate-mongering world?

I see conquest, war, famine, and death approaching.

Dear US Military, a traitor has pitted you against, your family, friends and neighbors. It is your choice, but know this: that if you stand for that traitor; you stand away from the flag. That your actions do not protect this country, but threaten to turn it to wasteland of hatred and aggression.

There is no way to stop what's been set in motion. We must increase efforts to reduce and damage repair.

“There’s no recording allowed out here.” I just grabbed this uncredited off Facebook. Does anyone know who recorded it? I want to make sure they get proper credit.

Homeland Security can’t even bring itself to apologize.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Senator Padilla, I am sorry to hear about the attack against you. I am sorry that it has come down to this. That the attack against you, the pain you were forced to feel must be a symbol of the cruelty and injustice of the Trump Administration. I wanted to stop this before it started.

Events like Senator Padilla being attacked by the government needs to be remembered in the history book. It needs to be remembered, because it should never happen to anyone. no government should have the right to detain, arrest, or attack someone, for asking a question.

Stop saying Democrats need to start acting like the opposition. THEY NEED TO BE THE OPPOSITION. Because being the opposition of fascism means being a vessel of freedom.

You turned a blind eye to ICE abuse when Trump enacted his zero tolerance policy for immigrants. You knew, they were drugging children with psychotropic drugs to manipulate and abuse them. You knew they were separating families, babies from their mothers. What you're seeing is the price of inaction.

Republicans called on Gov. Tim Walz to apologize for calling ICE agents "modern-day Gestapo.” Instead, he said agents weren’t giving people due process and “the Constitution is not an inconvenience.”

Begin launching protests all over the country.

What the frick is wrong with 38% of us?

Let me clarify one thing, no American citizen or individual should be physically attacked for asking a question to a government official.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

Even as far back as the 1980s, there were allegations of extremists infiltrating the Republican states and federal agencies. Instead of dealing with the threat, Congress kept their mouths closed taking bribes and letting people slide by while committing crimes.

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

Same here.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

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."

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered — instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms. We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.

Senator Padilla was violently assaulted for doing his job. If this is how federal agents treat a sitting U.S. Senator peacefully asking questions, how far will they go?

Senator Padilla has been arrested and assaulted by homeland security.

They didn’t sign up to work for Trump, they signed up to serve their country

At least a dozen major retailers and clothing stores have declared bankruptcy and are shutting down.

Another major furniture manufacturer and supplier is going under.

An additional 1500 workers to be laid off in Chicago area.

Gun laws are crucial to protecting children in the United States of America. More guns lead to more accidents and deaths that should have never occurred in the first place.

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-...

I still don’t understand why people can’t just come here from other countries & stay. Personally, the fraud, & waste is all the money spent adjudicating citizenship. Think of all the money we’d save & tax revenue that would generate. It’s like private health insurance companies. Like, whyyyy?

This is a message for whoever in the government hears it. The current situation is growing worse each day. The President is not only incompetent, but not focusing on important matters relating to national security. He is wasting resources on personal vendettas instead of protecting the people.

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Double.

Never forget your roots, we are all immigrants.
