The full video of @padilla.senate.gov, who has identified himself to security in a secure federal building. He wanted to ask about the violent criminals employed by DHS. I assume he's referring to the Trump-pardoned, but previously convicted, J6 insurrectionists. 🚫M No Kings, No Fascist USA

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

Damn right!! 👊

In a statement, Frost notes an important detail to Alex Padilla, a sitting U.S. senator, being assaulted by federal agents today: “They did it in broad daylight. Imagine what they're doing behind closed doors to migrant men, women, and children. “This isn’t America. This is fascism.”

President Chris Murphy:

One aspect of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that isn't getting enough attention?  It would give ICE tens of billions in additional funding to conduct more violent raids and abductions across the country. A big, ugly, authoritarian nightmare.

We cannot and will not normalize what happened to @padilla.senate.gov. No one -- not a sitting US Senator or any human being -- should be thrown to the ground and handcuffed for simply doing their job. The abuse of power by the Trump administration is an attack on all of us.

My colleagues and I went to Speaker Johnson’s and Leader Thune’s offices just now to demand an investigation into the assault of @padilla.senate.gov. Let’s be clear: Republican leadership is complicit in enabling the growing authoritarianism in this country.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

👇 “if we don’t show up tomorrow (No Kings) democracy dies."

DHS handcuffing Senator Padilla & forcing him to the ground after he had already clearly identified himself is outrageous. This is more than misconduct—it’s systemic abuse of power, aimed at a Latino senator. The Trump admin is shredding public trust. And when trust breaks, everyone is less safe.

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.”

@kenmartin.bsky.social the DNC continues to fail the party! Hogg got it! You don’t! Old ideas keep losing! Jesus!!

I stand with @davidhogg.bsky.social but, more, no Dem should fear a primary... EVER! One should not fear standing up for your positions and values in front of your constitiuents and one could make the argument it would make our party stronger @kenmartin.bsky.social

#ThisIsAmerica #LAICE #LAPD The amount of videos showing how eager cops are to attack civilians is depressing.

LAPD on duty protecting citizens? Or acting like thugs on horseback?

Are Trump and Musk still fighting or did they make up yet?

We TOLD you before the election that Trump and his MAGA allies were coming for education. This was in the Project 2025 playbook.... Hands Off Public Schools!

ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.

Despicable. Why are they hiding their faces? This is so wrong. Call your reps and demand answers! Is this what we want for America? The answer should be HELL NO! SAVE DEMOCRACY‼️ CALL YOUR REPS: ☎️ (202) 224-3121 Senate ☎️ (202) 225-3121 House @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

REP. POCAN: “Who pays the tariffs, Mr. Secretary? Answer the question.” BESSENT: “Uh… uh… uh… it’s complicated.”

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

Tell your Members of Congress: Respect the Constitution and bring Abrego Garcia home! If Turnip is allowed to continue to defy the Supreme Court, he will think he can get away with anything, like "deporting" American citizens he doesn't like. act.indivisible.org/petition/con...

@mlauriat.bsky.social @panetto.bsky.social WTAF?? THESE BRIBES HAVE GOT TO BE SHUT DOWN BY HIS OWN PARTY LIKE SS JUSTICES

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is mad Trump’s denying Arkansas disaster relief. Cry me a river! Actually…don't. FEMA won't cover it.

MAGA Republicans are rattled, and the extremist budget cuts are starting to crack. Now is *not* the time to let up. Keep calling, keep posting, keep organizing! 🔥💙

Great to see! "A major company, Microsoft, has dropped a law firm that settled with the administration in favor of one that is fighting it." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

Absolutely. And not enough people are bringing this up. 8th Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

#ProudBlue #MomSky Another loss for YamTiits A Federal Judge has ruled that the declaration of the Alien Enemies act was is unlawful. They stated that there is no invasion or war which the statute requires. Reported by @aaronparnas.bsky.social

JUST IN: A federal judge in Texas, appointed by Donald Trump, will allow those targeted by the Alien Enemies Act in South Texas to proceed with a class action against the government. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
