Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) Mayor Ras Baraka (D-Newark) Judge Hannah Dugan (WI) Controller Brad Lander (D-NYC) This is not normal. This is not okay. We cannot let them convince us that this is normal or okay.

The poor marching plus the use of “Fortunate Son” as parade music at one point made me wonder if trump was being trolled on some level.

She said they are going to “liberate” us from out elected leaders. What the hell does that mean? Then her goons push my U.S. Senator to the floor and cuff him? And they will always stand up for law enforcement? Like the capitol police that MAGA threw under the bus? IMPEACH THIS FASCIST!

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

What they did to my senator is infuriating and heartbreaking and disgusting. Enough with MAGA and their racist BS. I want them all in jail as a start.

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.

This is precisely the speech we needed @governor.ca.gov to give. It’s very good. I recommend you listen to it.

The January 6 insurrection was a riot consisting of over 1,500 MAGA terrorists who stormed the U.S. Capitol on behalf of the orange felon and GOP seditionists in Congress. Right wing assholes didn’t give a fuck then.

From the CNN story: “The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs,” WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. Really? Ask the US capitol police.

Nothing has fundamentally changed. Our mad man of a president is still dismantling our democracy, our government, and our international credibility. But apparently the stock market just goes by vibes, and the vibes are good at this moment.

Just read Sonnet 66 for the first time. Wikipedia calls it “a world-weary, desperate list of grievances of the state of the poet's society. The speaker criticizes three things: general unfairness of life, societal immorality, and oppressive government.” 400 years old and eerily familiar. #poetry
