Trump wishes our soldiers would goose-step when they march, like the soldiers in some other armies.

If you don't realize this is the civil rights movement all over again, you don't know what's going on.

This is like the McCarthy Era but at a whole new scale. This is like Joe McCarthy with National Guard and military troops backing him up. It's no coincidence that McCarthy and Trump had the same lawyer giving them advice.

After the "fall of the wall," we in Europe/the West believed that peace was final--that democracy/liberalism would spread--develop--perhaps differently, depending on how free people wanted it--but NOT dictatorship and authoritarianism. We must always be prepared to fight for freedom and democracy.

Here is the best clip of Padilla identifying himself and what he was responding to as Noem was saying when they shoved Padilla out. youtu.be/FrOf4_uXKmk?...

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out. The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything. We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

I live in California and none of my state nor any of its cities has been "conquered by a foreign enemy" and I don't need to be "liberated" from them. I voted for them for God's sake! I clearly understand why my senator, Alex Padilla, was asking questions.

THE GRATEFUL DEAD DID A SET WITH NEVILLE BROTHERS. PHENOMENAL! If Donald Trump and his fascist folk are getting you down, this will definitely cheer you up. youtu.be/1syExs1dK4s?...

It is completely unbelievable to me that they will actually take David Huerta's case to trial. Their key evidence, the video of the altercation with the cop, that was actually produced by the US attorney's office to support their case, clearly exonerates Huerta! Never saw that in 40 years of law.

Trump and his minions have done a remarkably good job of spinning the Abrego Garcia case in their favor using their fraudulent and concocted criminal case. Just wait until that gets torn apart by some of the best criminal defense lawyers in front of a jury.
