🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' More of this, please"

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

"It's bullshit," Gov. Hochul says of the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander by ICE. She says she will call him when he's out of detention. "But what about all the people who don't have that high profile position?"

This woman works on a farm that's being raided by ICE. Her fear is palpable. She just begs people who see her post to tell others what is happening so maybe she can find her kids if they are also taken. This is inhumane and cruel, especially without due process.

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

Democratic leaders, including former presidents, should be showing a united front. Not just one here and there. That's what we have now. We need to them to coordinate. Whether it's as simple as a Zoom call or gathering on the steps of the Capitol. SHOW UP ON CAMERA together to drive that message.

Thank you @gavinnewsom.bsky.social for calling out Republicans for their failure to hold up their duties as set forth in the Constitution! Mikey Johnson has abdicated responsibility for oversight of the Executive Branch!

I went to Senate and House Republican leadership’s office today demanding they support an investigation into the attack on Senator Padilla. Unsurprisingly, they lack a backbone in the face of this administration’s lawlessness.

Let's be absolutely clear: physically assaulting a US Senator for simply asking a question is disgraceful. We stand with Senator Padilla and all those peacefully defending working people against this administration's attacks.

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.”

Call it assault, people. Senator Alex Padilla, California's first Latino senator was assaulted. Manhandled is a euphemism. He stopped trying to get free, and they threw him to the floor and cuffed him anyway.

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.

I wish every story about this included the point that California statutes specifically _protect_ journalists in these situations. The people shooting journalists are breaking the law, not enforcing the law. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_....

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

It's not the worst thing about the Trump era by far, but it is infuriating to have been consistently viewed as alarmist for stating plainly what has been happening in front of our very eyes. So many people have gaslit us because they were delusional or reality made them uncomfortable.

Lots of people replying “but how?” And lots of answers in the thread. If you’re bothered by AI creep, it’s worth finding out how to turn it off or opt out. Ecosia’s a decent start. Swap your search engine on your phone and laptop.

The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.

We have 50501 organizers on the ground right now, and they just got confirmation a bus with more detainees is coming. They also just overheard the cops on site say they have a minor in the car, so one of the detainees may be under 18. Will send more updates as we get them. Please help boost this!
