Here is Senator Alex Padilla's entire full statement after being detained by Donald Trump and Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security. Like he said, if they're doing this to a sitting Senator, imagine what they're doing to other people. Unconscionable.

Here’s the full episode jimacosta.substack.com/p/padilla-de...

Liberating us from socialists... right. This is a bit like having cancer whisper how much better things will be now that it's arrived.

It's tough to keep up the scam. lol @ "novel insights"

Sen. Alex Padilla forcibly removed for asking DHS Sec. Kristi Noem a question in LA. Make no mistake. This is Fascism.

BREAKING: SENATOR PADILLA HANDCUFFED AND THROWN TO THE GROUND AFTER BEING FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM PRESS CONFERENCE.

But eggs were expensive, a scary black woman, and boys coming home from school as girls.

We're now a nation of white trash thugs.

Senator Alex Padilla forced to the ground and handcuffed

Sen. Cory Booker: When you see a democratic nation having their executive begin to arrest mayors, begin to arrest judges, begin to arrest a United States senator who was simply asking for answers to their questions [...] this is something that we should not tolerate.

US Senator assaulted and arrested by Trump's goons for doing his Constitutional duty of oversight of the Executive branch, when trying to ask questions of the Secretary of Homeland Security. This is where we are. This is what we've become. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc90...

The Ocean Gate documentary on Netflix about the Titan submersible that collapsed and killed the CEO and passengers is a pretty good example of how the hubris of billionaires gets people killed.

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

A terrifying escalation:

More and more we’re seeing the collision between “Follow the rules” and “there is in fact no way to follow the rules.”

Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

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.

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In his lane. Focused. Has no idea about the news because he can’t read. Flourishing.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

There's a certain level of escalation that needs to occur before things begin to change for the better. Sadly, it will come at a higher cost. Trump's decision to turn the active military against their own citizens is actually the sort of accelerant we need more of.

Stephen Miller—who's from the area and knows better—calls LA an "occupied city" as part of a ploy to justify a violent, fascist crackdown. Courtesy of Matt Snyder, this map of LA features a to-scale red dot indicating where the protests are. You'll have to zoom in and look hard.

thankfully, i built up an immunity to societal collapse by microdosing it daily for the last ten years or so

Good morning. I have coffee. Work is underway. The cat has been fed and given love. Elsewhere, the American president deploys marines on American civilians. Reminds me of the National Guard gunning down union miners in Colorado in the early 1900s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqfJ...

Ice Nazi doing the bidding of Nazis trump and Miller and the rest of Manson family administration - are rolling around la terrorizing legal immigrants at work at schools abducting them and jailing them - no law - no due process Pure Nazi lawlessness

You know whose leaders call out the federal military against their own citizens? Authoritarian third-world shithole countries.

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.

Just to be clear: the President has mobilized the Marines on American soil because people are protesting masked, secret police kidnapping people with no due process and shipping them to foreign death camps. It’s not a misunderstanding or an oversight. That is all it is. There is no other side.

Today is good.
