So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

This is why I wrote my pinned report, which draws from my time as a criminal defense attorney. This jackass says he’s going to define “get violent” for the people in his county... ...but the *first six offenses he names* are non-violent offenses. They are changing definitions to justify fascism.

Without a Doubt...

😡😡😡😡

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

I want you to remember this... everyday

NEW: A Los Angeles protester is facing 8 years in prison on federal charges of assaulting an officer. Jose Mojica, 30, comes forward to say it was he who was brutally assaulted by border patrol. We obtained video. “We're not the violent ones. They escalated it. They're chasing down innocent people"

MINNESOTA: “Shelter in place order in a 3 mile radius… white male, black body armor…” The 2 Democratic lawmakers’ spouses were also shot.

#NoKings

This wasn’t just a political assassination. This was planned and strategic. One rep and one senator living close one another in an almost deadlocked political state by a well prepared gunman

The FBI has previously confirmed that the greatest risk of terrorism within the U.S. is from far right groups.

June 14, 2025 Presidents Barack Obama & Joe Biden Appreciation Day

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

The reality is that Biden constantly restrained Israel on attacking Iran and on letting in humanitarian aid into Gaza. A lot of people don't get it (like Jeet Heer in the nested quotes) because they don't care to read Israelis, who spent 15 years complaining the US wasn't letting Israel attack Iran.

The Department of Energy is quietly slashing disability rights

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

Democracy will not collapse all at once in America. It will happen bit by bit, state by state. We just saw US senator Alex Padilla thrown to the floor and handcuffed for trying to ask the Homeland Security Secretary a question. Hold the line, California. Hold the f-ing line.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

No one likes the idea of living through violent social upheaval but do you prefer the idea of spending the rest of your life with your head down? watching neighbors vanish? wondering who's next? I don't at a certain we owe ourselves and everyone who comes afterwards a tall glass of courage

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

They're trafficking and deporting children now. Martir is 9 years old, in the 4th grade.

PATRIOTIC DUTY

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was? We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy. I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

If your child dies of a preventable illness because the effective vaccine was banned by RFK - then RFK murdered your child, and you should respond accordingly.

“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?

see what you need to understand is that they’re coming hard at california bc if they can take us down then it tells the smaller states there’s no point in fighting. we’re the bellwether. that’s why it’s so important we stop this shit NOW.

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

“She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

The Delcaration of Independence: [T]o secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,

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.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.
