“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leader—and now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you. They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.

If they'll do this to a Senator, what will they do to you? The authoritarian moment has arrived in the US.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby.  Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

Rep. McIver was conducting oversight. That’s her duty as a Member of Congress. This isn’t justice—it’s retaliation. A political stunt meant to silence anyone who dares to hold power accountable. They may think they can scare us into silence. They’re dead wrong.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

Americans know scapegoating when we see it. Authoritarians target, vilify and demonize small minority groups to whip up negative emotions and mask their own programs. It's up to the people to reject sinister efforts to dehumanize and stigmatize transgender Americans.
