We know what democracy looks like. This is what dictatorship looks like. The violent handcuffing of a United States senator, without cause. Call this regime a coup, or domestic terrorism, dictatorship — it isn’t our democracy, and we can’t let it continue. #NoKings No dictators. No Trump.

Howard Lutnick is the biggest fucking idiot of ALL fucking idiots.

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.

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla. You read that right. The American Fascist Party at work.

Thanks Ray @raykwong.bsky.social @abbarsha.bsky.social @schultziepie.bsky.social @mlipsitt.bsky.social @cheryldogmom.bsky.social @germanusa.bsky.social @sabeet.bsky.social @choudry1.bsky.social @choudry1.bsky.social @emi619.bsky.social @climbtotheclouds.bsky.social ☁️@bluestormcomin1.bsky.social 🌪️

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

#GVerse #8647Taco - #Shit4Brain's mind is really malfunctioning today. He called Electric Charging Stations "firing plants." Then he corrects himself & calls them "charging plants," before saying electricity comes out of the hoses just like gas does. #8647Now him already - 25th Amendment!

Senator Padilla was violently assaulted for doing his job. If this is how federal agents treat a sitting U.S. Senator peacefully asking questions, how far will they go?

The Rescissions Act is good for Russia, China, and undertakers. Americans will die if this bill passes.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

UNITED STATES SENATOR ATTACKED BY ICE.THE UNITED STATES IS NOT GOING THE WAY OF NAZI GERMANY. REMEMBER HOW THAT TURNED OUT.

PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

👇👏👊👍✋💙💙💙💙

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.

Trump’s regime has crossed the red line.

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's *you* on the ground.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

VIDEO: Here is the Regime treating a duly elected U.S. Senator like a farm animal because he had the temerity to ask questions of Kristi Noem. Fascism is here. The jackboot of Big Government is pressing down on all our faces, and the only question is what we do next.

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way: "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

Here is Senator Alex Padilla's entire full statement after being detained by Donald Trump and Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security. Like he said, if they're doing this to a sitting Senator, imagine what they're doing to other people. Unconscionable.

When they inevitably defend the way Senator Padilla was treated, keep in mind they’ll defend literally anything.

Say it with me more: THIS IS FASCISM 🖕🖕 #FuckFascists #Resist
