open.substack.com/pub/politicu... Silence, and that Disgusting little tRump Sycophant Mike Johnson calling for Padilla to be Censured; what a despicable POS!

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!

A message to the puppy killler: See you in The Hague. They won’t let you have a hair dryer or make-up, Barbie. It’s going to be very unpleasant for you. This situation is temporary. The felon won’t be in power forever. He is obviously not well. You will answer for what you’re doing.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Rep. RJ May (R, Lexington) is charged with 10 counts of distributing child sexual abuse material. Those charges carry a maximum 20-year prison sentence, with a minimum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He was arrested Wednesday in Lexington County.

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.

Damn, that's crazy, I wonder if anyone has a recording of the event to figure out who was telling the truth. If only there were journalists who worked for this organization who could find out what happened!

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

Trump “encouraged a violation of regulations…active-duty military…are not allowed to attend political rallies in uniform…express partisan views while on duty” or “show disrespect” for elected US officials. Trump may not know the rules but officers “know them well” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Mental health, it turns out, isn’t just about healing trauma—it’s about preventing it. The question isn’t just how we provide care during genocide. It’s why the world allows genocide to continue.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs says we’re not being invaded

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

We must demand aid that reaches people where they are, not where power wants them to be. Otherwise, every box of food risks becoming bait in a deadly game. Gaza’s starving deserve more than a trap disguised as hope.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

The treatment of Senator Alex Padilla is disgraceful — no matter how you look at it. If this is how the Trump Administration treats a sitting U.S. Senator, we should all be alarmed.

What on earth is happening to America?

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.”

The pastor “said at least five men dressed in plain clothes with faces covered and bullet-proof vests swarmed a man in the parking lot. The pastor said he came out of his office and tried to find out what was happening when one agent drew a weapon and refused to identify themselves.”

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Last week in MN, two federal agents from ICE & CBP were charged with child sex abuse crimes. Yet news coverage has villainized a 150 lb woman “punching” federal agents during an ICE raid at a location news says was part of a drug bust, where no arrests were made or drugs seized.

The First Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress will take place from June 13 to 15 in Vienna, Austria, with the aim of amplifying Jewish voices against Zionism and assisting the global movement for justice and liberation in Palestine. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/join... #Palestine #Israel

Rep. Eric Swalwell on Trump’s uncharacteristic non response to the Epstein allegations: “The fact that Trump has not sued Elon for defamation is very telling”…

😎🪴🌵 Violation of The Posse Comitatus Act is the definition of tyranny. Most media isn't saying this, and are abandoning their core duty

A joke right? While Russia bombs Ukrainian cities, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio congratulates Russians on "Russia Day" and says the U.S. remains committed to a "bright future" for the Russian people — and seeks "mutually beneficial relations" with the Kremlin.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

Gavin Newsom for the win🏆

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Greta Thunberg: “But they did an illegal act by kidnapping us on international waters and against our will, bringing us to Israel, keeping us in the bottom of the boat, not letting us getting out and so on.”

Hi! I'm Sydney Kamlager-Dove, and I’m proud to represent LA in Congress! I know many of us are feeling uncertain right now, but we must stay engaged. I'll continue LEADing in Congress to preserve our Land, advance Economic justice, promote the Arts, and stand up for Democracy. Follow along!

ICE is targeting day laborers because they can make them work in detention centers for $1 a day. Think hard on that.

No Kings Day!
