I hope this is true. Cutting $130 million from the CSU hurts our state!

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Sen. Padilla, who is California’s first Latino US Senator, was assaulted at a Homeland Security news conference, handcuffed, and treated like a criminal. On camera! Racism is part of this fascist administration’s MO.

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

It’s incredibly worrying to see this. W/28k followers, I don’t know if this is part of some disinfo network or a genuinely well meaning, but horrifically misinformed, unexperienced person. But (a) don’t do this. And (b), the “agent provocateur” narratives are harmful w/o info.

I called my Senator @padilla.senate.gov ‘s office to thank him for standing up for immigrants and democracy. I called Senator Schiff @schiff.senate.gov and Rep. Pelosi @pelosi.house.gov to stand with Sen. Padilla! This illegal action against a U.S. Senator must be condemned! Stop fascism and ICE!

Before indentified agents threw my senator to the ground for asking a question, Kristi Noem announced the Trump administration’s intent to “liberate” Los Angeles from the leaders WE ELECTED in free and fair elections. That’s not liberation. That’s dictatorship. #NOKINGS

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

The Trump Administration's forcible removal of Senator Padilla today is un-American and unacceptable. Our elected officials have a right — and a duty — to conduct oversight of President Trump's abuses of power. As much as the administration wants to silence dissent, we the people won't back down.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

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.

Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

Re: the treatment of Padilla: Noem just saw a Latino unbowed enough to ask her a question, and that was enough for her to see him out, down and handcuffed. Desgraciada.

It’s true, as many have suggested, that if they can do this to Sen. Padilla, they can do it to others. I’d only add that they already have been doing this to others. A mass deportation regime, sooner rather than later, becomes contemptuous of civil liberties and basic decency.

Exactly right. The assault on a senator was a crime but Noem’s “liberation” comments were actually even worse.

submitted 3 hours ago • 34 comments

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

In a statement, Frost notes an important detail to Alex Padilla, a sitting U.S. senator, being assaulted by federal agents today: “They did it in broad daylight. Imagine what they're doing behind closed doors to migrant men, women, and children. “This isn’t America. This is fascism.”

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla. Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked. In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question. Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?
