The logical thing for the US to do was deny any involvement in the attack on Iran, which makes it harder for Iran to build a case for retaliating against the US. It looks like that was the direction they were heading until president dipshit decided to personally taunt Iran on social media.

This administration is making its intentions clear: Dissent will be punished, even if it comes from a sitting U.S. senator on federal ground. That’s not law enforcement. That’s repression. americanoversight.org/sen-alex-pad...

It’s day 8 in Occupied California, where there are more troops than the US has in Iraq and Syria combined to oversee protests where the biggest threat is how good the food is.

as ever, if you ask people if they think art should exist for their enjoyment they will say yes, and then if you ask them if the people making the art should get paid for it they'll tell you "no that's a fake job"

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

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!

Rouge state behavior. The governments of the world have a moral obligation to demand Israel withdraw inside its borders immediately, cease all attacks,and if they fail to do so, launch attacks to destroy the IDF.

Remember when you protest: you're not trying to persuade the Trump regime to stop their actions, they're not open to persuasion. You're trying to persuade the public that the Trump regime is acting unconstitutionally. The public isn't persuaded by violence. Peaceful, joyful protest tactics will win.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

Noem and her masked stormtroopers are coming after LA first because they know we’re the strongest. “Start a fight with the biggest guy in the yard on your first day” logic. they don’t expect to lose. they will lose. be emboldened by their targeting us first—we’re the city they’re most afraid of.

A few key points: - Senator Padilla is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety - He identified himself as a Senator - Right before this happened Noem literally said she was there to liberate Los Angeles from its elected leadership

The idea that Secret Service agents don’t know all the senators on sight alone is absurd. And yes, you can hear him clearly identify himself in the recording. Just nonsense. And this is why the Trump admin likes making “pretty” white women its spokespeople— to play the scared victim
