OMG, y’all. ROTFL🤣 It looks like Trump had crowd-size issues again. What a fantastic way to close #ObamaDay Please pass it on so others can see what an epic failure he is. #NoKings

#NoKings in Eugene, OR. Everyone was peaceful, people were dancing. The city police department was keeping the peace and smiled when protestors thanked them for being there. The atmosphere was joyful, because there is power in numbers.

Donald Trump’s Military Birthday Parade Was a Gross Failure. The parade, which reportedly cost up to $45 million, was short on attendees, long on political speeches www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Across the country, these are peaceful marches.

I can't.....

They just kept coming! Fort Collins, #Colorado says absolutely #NoKings

Casselberry, FL at a strip mall… way bigger than I expected! And still growing! #resist #nokings #protectdemocraxy

Happy No Kings Day to all who celebrate!

Per Reuters “he was an Army veteran on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs when he crossed a yellow tape boundary and was asked to stop

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

He hasn’t posted here in a while but this is @filmthepolicela.bsky.social helping out LAPD with some riot control tonight. Pretty funny.

saw some commentary that this is supposedly the wrong time to note that some democrats -- esp democrats condemning the attack on padilla - voted for noem. this is precisely the right time. they need a rhetorical rap on the nose. stop it! behave! think about what you did!

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

We need this. It feels like gaslighting to act any other way.

This is so disturbing. There’s no warrant and these unknown men are violently detaining women because they say they can. Who are they? Who gave them this authority? Are they vigilantes? Where does it end?

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

"How is that different...That's not where we live. We live in response to a monarchy."

I JUST sounded the alarm in the Oversight committee on the fact that this administration has threatened to arrest elected officials and they have. A judge, a mayor, a Representative, and now a US Senator in his OWN STATE during an open press conference. Governors will be next.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

sen @wyden.senate.gov decries the arrest of sen padilla and invokes the situation trump created in portland in 2020, with masked federal agents who snatched people off the streets

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.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.
