Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

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.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Historically voters see border enforcement and treatment of immigrants already here as separate matters. They want strong border enforcement, but they want immigrants already here treated humanely. There is no precedent for Trump's terrorizing of immigrant communities to have broad support.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

We're expanding reproductive rights. We're erasing medical debt. We're making going to college in-state easier than ever before. We’re investing in shovel-ready sites for new homes and businesses. And we're lifting the burdens Illinoisans face because it's the right thing to do.

I'm not going to deny that it is amusing to see the stock market drop in real time as Lutnick speaks in the manner of an autocratic fool who is in over his head. A man who is this stupid should not have such an influence on the market. But here we are.

When LA is burning, Trump watches Fox News and threatens to pull emergency funding for existing fires in California. When LA isn't burning, Trump goes on Fox News to announce he is spending MILLIONS on people in uniforms to pretend to stop nonexistent fires in California.

Governor Cox and other LDS folks cheering on sending the marines into LA to support ICE would (if they weren't LDS in the 19th century) have cheered on President Buchanan sending troops to quell the Mormon "rebellion" that led to the Mormon War, even though our ancestors feared religious oppression.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
