There is no universe in which it is acceptable for a Secretary of DHS to say anything like this. Kristi Noem must resign immediately. Or be impeached.

FIRST ON MSNBC: Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., breaks down the video of him being forcibly removed and cuffed from a DHS press conference.

friendly notice to cali folks

This horrifying show of force against a sitting U.S. senator in the state he represents is a shocking abuse of power by the Trump administration. These dangerous attacks on our democracy and the freedoms and rights of all people in this country are un-American. We stand with @padilla.senate.gov.

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

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.

“IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!”—trump. Yet he pardoned more the 1500 violent criminals who attacked me and my colleagues.

Greta Thunberg: “But they did an illegal act by kidnapping us on international waters and against our will, bringing us to Israel, keeping us in the bottom of the boat, not letting us getting out and so on.”

Los Angeles, California today! Power to the people!🔥💪

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

New thread: there is a press conference regarding the arrest here in East Los Angeles at Ruben Salazar Park. A few dozen, but noticeably growing in size. Also quick fact check: the authorities were with Homeland Security per HS social media.

I built a dead hedge today. It's a "fence" that supports biodiversity/wildlfe and it utilizes yard waste so totally free ( except for the work hours) Sore and tired but feeling totally accomplished!

These are the clips of protests they don't want you to see. ICE is anti-American and needs to be held accountable.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is preparing to roll back rules that limited mercury, lead, and arsenic emissions from coal plants, protections designed to safeguard brain development and prevent heart and respiratory disease.

I'm looking forward to having a conversation with @hcrichardson.bsky.social over on Substack later today. Tune in live at 2pm ET.

On Feb. 17, I stepped down from Trump’s DOJ to defend the rule of law; today, I'm stepping up to defend our country. I'm Ryan Crosswell, and I'm a Democrat running to represent the great people of Pennsylvania's 7th District in Congress. Join us and pass it on. ➡️ secure.actblue.com/donate/sm-bs...

With the bullshit shenanigans 🍊💩 and his minions are up to, it is important that we not back down but we continue with our planned events. There will be Zoom calls the next several days to help us all prepare for Saturday. There are 3 scheduled for today 6-10-25 Link in the Alt text & in comments

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities: Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly. If any of these are your hometowns—get ready. If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Thou shalt not force good horses to trample peaceful protesters and pretend thou art the good guys.

More of this and LOUDER. Its beyond the pale white fragility. Miller is a fragile whyte boy. A chalkasian. Pale, powdery easily breakable and squeaks on a blackboard.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

Trump is withholding necessary FEMA aid but sending unnecessary troops to LA. He is not competent and you can’t trust his underlings.

Not sure how the World Cup can still happen here a year from now. Which foreign fans are going to fly to the US with the risk of being Gitmoed once they get here??

“We don’t need another king, another tyrant, another dictator.” — U.S. Army Veteran, 101st Airborne We took an oath to the Constitution—not to serve the ambitions of any one man. What’s happening isn’t national defense. It’s a warning sign.

From the Sheriff of Nottingham’s men in the Robin Hood legends to the Nazi Gestapo, Soviet KGB, Pinochet’s DINA, and modern riot police in various authoritarian states, the pattern is consistent: regimes select and reward individuals willing to use violence... beingliberal.org/the-psycholo...

My latest in Joy’s House: I’m in L.A. So I can tell you firsthand that the only crises here are ICE, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, the Fox weekend guy that’s running the Pentagon, and Donald Trump. open.substack.com/pub/joyannre...

HAPPENING NOW: Aerial coverage of protesters peacefully demonstrating in L.A. 📍Los Angeles, CA

America deserves a President who will send the Marines after Billionaires to protect Social Security. #1776 #OperationEpstein

Oops...

As protests spread nationwide. Trump is pushing loyalists in his cabinet to prepare for a federal crackdown. Behind closed doors, he’s reportedly discussing invoking the Insurrection Act with his inner circle. If this happens, brace yourselves.

Here is a look at the "riots" in LA..... "Who's got the power? People Power." #FreedomToDissent

You know what to do…

The Trump administration is using our military as a political tool to escalate tensions and suppress dissent. This is a threat to our democracy. Join the #NoKings protests on June 14 to send a LOUD message: We don't have kings in America. social.demcast.com/s/bNhBcNDA
