There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

It is also unacceptable to threaten to take over a major city with military force and effectively end democratic governance there. That’s why the Senator was there. Let’s not lose sight of that.

They've detained a mayor, a Congresswoman, a union leader, and now a U.S. Senator. They've deployed marines to an American city. They are hosting a military parade. This isn't the Trump Administration, it's the Trump Regime.

A panel of antivaxxers in charge of vaccine recommendations, approvals, and insurance coverage…to gatekeep vaccines from Americans. The goal has always been to take away all vaccines, and it is disgraceful that so many in the media and in power pretended it could ever be anything but that. For shame

Ok don’t wanna keep rageposting into the void but I’ve heard some of the Democratic senators responding to this incident on the floor of the Senate. Way too many pleading with Republicans to be reasonable and help them. That ship sailed SO long ago. Maybe never existed. So I’m tapping out again!

There’s nothing here that needs clarification. There are no explanations that would be sufficient. There should be an official announcement from the Democrats that any apologies will be rejected. What’s needed are consequences.

As enraging as what happened to Padilla is, it’s doubly enraging that they so flippantly lie about what everyone clearly saw happened, all backed up by their loyal stooges in the mainstream media.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

DHS is also lying about him being repeatedly told to back away. The video shows the men who pushed him don’t even open their mouths, they just grab him and get them out of the room without saying a word.

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.

DHS is arguing members of the Secret Service don't know who a U.S. Senator is, that he didn't identify himself (he does in the tape), lunged towards the Noem (not evident on the tape), and somehow all this necessitated him being hauled away, thrown to the ground and cuffed. x.com/DHSgov/statu...

I’m old enough to remember when Trump said he was going to use the national guard to invade blue states, it was like 8 months ago. Too bad no one felt like he was dangerous enough to actually go out and vote

This is a real thing being posted and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, referring to undocumented immigrants as “foreign invaders” and urging good Americans to turn them in. (I’ll leave it to BlueSky historians to find comparisons to WWII era materials.)

Since Jan, Trump administration members have 1) endorsed the Confederacy, 2) endorsed white Afrikaner attacks on the post-Apartheid South African government, 3) given a Nazi salute at the inauguration, 4) endorsed the neo-Nazi party in German elections. There's a pattern here, but it's subtle.

We’ve leapt over a lot of red lines in the last week. But one I find most worrying is Trump/MAGA/ICE have ceased even pretending to claim some criminal pretext for cracking down on protected speech. It’s just straight up “if you criticize us, you’re getting throttled/arrested/disappeared.”

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

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.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
