This back-tracking (TACO-ing?) is just one more example of Trump incompetence. Did anyone in his admin *even think* to check w/ any agricultural, hospitality, and/or food service industry leaders to see how they'd feel abt these mass and indiscriminate deportation efforts *before* they began? 1/2

Calls grow for Kristi Noem to resign in the wake of Padilla incident

Note the last paragraph below. How long before non-ICE personnel start dressing this way and start kidnapping people for trafficking or other criminal horrendous acts, all the while posing as ICE agents? Or could it already be happening?

THIS 👇👇👇

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

We have long passed the point when impeachment is justified

This is a United States Senator, *IN HIS OWN STATE* being wrestled to the ground and led away in handcuffs for speaking up at Sec Noem’s presser. WTF is happening to this country?!? 👇👇👇

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

🚨🚨🚨👇

💯👇👇👇

He’s not wrong. 👇

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

Someone needs to remind him that peaceful protest is quite legal - in fact, essential - in this country. 👇👇👇

Unconscionable. Another American citizen w/ an accent being harassed. Vastly pregnant also. But the main point is - she’s a US citizen. These Trump thugs must be stopped. 👇👇👇

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

Great to see things going so well! 😂😂😂👇

Nice to see: 👇 www.forbes.com/sites/jemima...

ICE appears to confirm that California National Guard are being used to provide security to ICE officers during immigration arrest operations.

Stupid decision on ABC’s part. 🙄 Moran sacrificed on the altar of Trump for being a truth teller. ABC should be ashamed. 👇

…and MSM wonders why so many millions of American distrust them. Thanks to this news (and their prior settlement w/ Trump) they’ve permanently lost me as a viewer and I do mean permanently. 👇👇👇

This country has gone mad. ABC News paid a historic bribe to Dictator Trump—begging him not to destroy it—and has now let go a beloved, celebrated journalist for... ...an *accurate tweet* whose accuracy is *confirmed* by *all prior reporting* on the life and times of Stephen Miller. We are lost.

More scenes from the “big insurrection” in Los Angeles

This is infuriating 🤬👇

Are you kidding me?!?DNC, please get your sh*t together and I mean right now. 🤬There is way too much other extremely important stuff going on to be spending *any* energy and/or time on petty infighting of any kind. C’mon!! 🤬👇👇👇

OMG these people. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄👇

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

Funny, I don’t recall Trump calling up the National Guard on Jan 6. Weird, right?!? 🤔

FACT CHECK: Habeas corpus is the centuries-old legal procedure that protects AGAINST unlawful imprisonment, and is a crucial part of our fundamental right to due process.

House chamber burst into laughter when Marjorie Taylor Greene called for "decorum."

Kristi Noem, our homeland security secretary, does not know a literally 1000-year-old core legal principle. Arguably the first, foundational legal principle of a free society.

OMG we’re in some deep sh*t w/ this level of ignorance in charge. 👀👇👇👇

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.
