This video shows what happened to Sen. Padilla after they forcibly removed him from Kristi Noem's press conference. He's given orders from the officers that would cause him to smash his face, then pushed to the ground and handcuffed. Via: x.com/elex_michael...

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Seems noteworthy to me that they're admitting that they're sending in the military because of the state government's ideology!!!

I asked a leading genocide scholar about an open letter he sent to Canada, urging the country to ban Trump from the upcoming G7 Summit. "Isn't diplomacy good, though?" I asked. Sure, "But Trump is not an ordinary adversary," he replied. "He is a Nazi." www.salon.com/2025/06/12/b...

Dems need to care less about optics (when I say "less," I mean "not at all") and just fucking DO MORE. Be on the offensive. Have robust and transformative policies. Don't let Republicans frame the issues, and don't let everything you do be a fear-based reaction to them. Fight dirty, God damn it.

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

this is so emblematic of the differences of the centrist democrat and the leftist democrat. centrists have nothing to offer and have to rely on fear to gain power while the left actually has a vision for a better world, this is why centrists have to resort to this rhetoric

This is why I'm so sick of the "protestors are violent!!!" Shit. Like what the fuck are people supposed to do here. The powers oppressing us are gleeful in their monopoly on violence and It's clear that peaceful protest does jack while legal/political paths are pointless. Folks are gonna break shit

When I took my cat out for his walk, he did not appreciate me serenading him with the "Froozles" theme song. He liked it even less when I brought him inside and played it for him.

The on-going bad faith weaponization of “harmful to minors” to censor political speech, healthcare resources, public performance and education, and to bring an end the open internet, is the one of the great unreported stories of this year.

Horses do whatever they can to not tread on you if you're on the ground, they're just programmed that way (it's why jockeys who fall while racing usually come out unscathed)... the footage of the LA cop trying to get his horse to stomp on a protestor is HORRIBLE to watch.

There is a direct through-line between the Dems' inability to meet this moment and their inability to recognize a thousand-foot-tall genocide-shaped genocide with the word "GENOCIDE" written all over it in giant, blinking neon letters.

And this is how you can tell who is and who isn't ready to dismantle fascism.

If I hear one more reporter say, "Well, it depends on who you talk to." No, itt fucking doesn't. Just as with genocide, there are objective measures of what constitutes fascism. Corporate media will normalize the most heinous crimes imaginable just to construct a 'he said/she said' narrative.

I’ve revisited my shouting match with that right-wing clipboard freak a dozen times now in my head, always changing it up a little, and my conclusion is this: It goes better for me when I’m holding a crowbar. (What? I use it to remove the nail from his skull that’s making him act like an asshole.)

I beg the Dems to take a page from their opponents, and accuse the Republicans of hating America. Because they do. And we have not just mountains of evidence to back it up, but entire goddamn mountain RANGES.

Trump says he's reverting military bases to their former Confederate names because they won a lot of victories under those names and he's very superstitious. Turns out he misread the teleprompter. He meant to say "superfuckingracist."
