I am sorry but seeing military in uniform booing a US Governor did it for me & there’s no excuse even if they were MAGA soldiers. Unacceptable & irreversible. Then add this ridiculous parade… www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

I spoke with the LA-area pastor who confronted masked men conducting an apparent immigration action on church property — men, she says, who said "the whole country is our property." DHS claims ICE wan't there — but I have video, and it may've still been a DHS team. religionnews.com/2025/06/13/i...

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.

I can see how Hitler happened. The last decade or so in the U.S. makes it easy to imagine. Not just Hitler; the Tulsa race massacre, Rosewood, lynching, slavery, the Rwanda & Rohingya genocides & more. There is a wolf pack evil that lurks in the human heart and it’s easily activated by a demagogue.

The court just confirmed what we all know: The military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets. End the unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles now, Donald Trump. Refusing to do so will only confirm your authoritarian tendencies. The country is watching.

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.

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.

The Padilla detainment is awful but don’t miss that Noem promised to “liberate” California from the elected officials they chose.

She is saying, in effect: "We are going to liberate the city from its democratically elected leadership using the military"

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

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.
