“There’s no recording allowed out here.” I just grabbed this uncredited off Facebook. Does anyone know who recorded it? I want to make sure they get proper credit.

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

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.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. “A Republic if you can keep it” is now.

US troops cheer and clap at Trump goading them to go to war with unarmed US citizens.

Mahmoud Khalil didn’t steal. He didn’t kill. He didn’t betray. His only “crime” was saying: Free Palestine. And for that, they locked him up — as if truth is a threat. This isn’t justice. It’s fear in disguise. We are more than you think. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

A friend who works at Harbor-UCLA just told me that ICE was on the premises. Harbor-UCLA is a safety-net hospital & a level 1 trauma hospital. People are going to die because of these actions. This makes me so angry.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

@DMichaelTripi Iran has issued a statement saying that they’re essentially readying themselves for an attack and will target US military bases if struck.

ABC News is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller The road to fascism is paved with "objectivity" and "civility."

Newsom's request for a TRO was NOT, repeat, not declined. What really happened is that the administration requested 24 hours to respond, and the court granted that request. There is a hearing on Thursday as to whether to issue the restraining order. www.threads.com/@annepmitche...?

Don’t threaten us with a good time!

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

I’ve seen a few variations of this making the rounds. I like this one best. I don’t know who the original artist is but thank you to them.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

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.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Seth gets it

I feel sick to my stomach. DC right now. #nokings

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

The governor is saying that the president is a nut job.

substack.com/@repjasminec... 😂

a woman just trying to get home gets shot

A total outrage. A judge needs to dismiss this at the first opportunity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

@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."

Thousands of people marching through Lower Manhattan now demanding ICE get out of New York City.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

“‘If a fire occurs in the cabin, if we land on water, don’t check on the immigrants. Just make sure that you and the guards and the people that work for the government get off," one flight attendant was told. “It was as if the detainees’ lives were worthless,” said another. (Published April 2025)

I stand 100% with Terry Moran.

@abcnewsbot.bsky.social should be ashamed of themselves for firing Terry Moran. That’s fucking bullshit.

I stand with Terry Moran.

Man, fuck this guy. What a disappointment.

Hey corporate media, do your damn jobs. ~ Everyone

Btw LA, there are people out on the streets trying to get you to sign a petition “for the minimum wage”. Do NOT sign. The service workers fought and won a higher minimum wage and this petition is to LOWER it. Tell them to fuck off and don’t let anybody else sign either

unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan at least the Marines coming to.L.A. know exactly what this fight is all about

#LAPD #USMC See attached excerpt from, “How France dealt with those who collaborated with the Nazis after war’s end,” Nikola Simonovski, Jun 2, 2017 Expect the same. Any complicity with trump will be punished.

Trump regime ICE forces firing randomly at US citizens in Los Angeles over the weekend. The brave people of California rose up to protect their communities from masked unidentified fascists that were abducting innocent people off the streets.

Trump regime ICE forces assaulted and kidnapped a mother on her way to pick up her children from school, this is what they are doing all over the country. #StopICE

Australian Journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social targeted and shot with a rubber bullet by LAPD, collaborating with Trump regime ICE forces, live on air. The regime loyalist took aim at the press and fired. #StopICE
