Reminder: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem shot her puppy dead because he wouldn't obey. Then broadcast it in her memoir, believing that readers would find it relatable or at least not gravely sick and inhumane. Perfect judgment for the person in charge of keeping our nation secure

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

We must demand that ICE agents have to show ID. Too many Women are being attacked by fake agents. A man posing as an ICE agent sexually assaulted a 37 year old woman. Another attacked and tried to rape a 51 year old woman. A fake security officer zip tied a woman for two hours. This must end now.

Y’all, @repjasmine.bsky.social is old enough to be president. Is she interested? I’m ready to start on her 2028 campaign today!

"I am Senator Alex Padilla" is the first thing he says. There is nothing the Trump Administration won't lie about.

First, Trump came after Congresswoman McIver, now he’s going after Senator Padilla. What’s next? Sending U.S. marines to the floor of Congress?

This video from Senator Padilla's staff, shared to Twitter by Fox LA's Elex Michaelson, shows Padilla forced to the ground by men wearing FBI uniforms who then handcuff him behind his back. This is after he is forcibly removed from the Noem press conference for asking a question.

Those of us who were not on the front lines of COVID need to do everything in our power to make sure that the experiences of providers don’t get lost or forgotten. Thanks to @ryanmarino.bsky.social and others for being willing to relive the trauma in order to help us all remember.

LAPD has been directly shooting demonstrators and reporters with rubber bullets for the last 3 days and nights. Rubber bullets when fired directly can and have killed. The fuck do you mean LAPD has been preventing gunfire? They shot first, like they always do.

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

Look. I have written a book about how Nazis took over and guess what—this is how they take over: Claim there is an invasion of immigrants. Use it to create an authoritarian state. Shut down any objection or protest with excessive force. I have receipts. I will talk to press. It’s right here, now.

Looks like ICE out there trying to commit hit & run on top of kidnapping.

This story leaves me feeling both sad and heart-warmed. THIS: “She decided to do this in her own terms. She has no criminal record. A hardworking taxpayer who’s been working 12-hour shifts since she was 15, six days out of the week. She never asked for a handout. She didn’t get food stamps…”

🚨I’m here with @RepLuzRivas, @RepNormaTorres & @RepLouCorrea at the Roybal Federal Building exercising our Congressional authority to investigate ICE’s inhumane detention of immigrant families—including moms & kids held after routine check-ins. No beds. No food. No water. We are demanding answers.

Efficiency is when you make the troops homeless *before* they're veterans

LAPD has a long history of abuse and a lack of ethics. I don’t understand why we haven’t gotten control of this in Southern California. They are out of control and have been for a long time.

So-called “less-lethal” weapons like those that have been used against demonstrators in Los Angeles can cause severe, lasting harm like nerve or brain damage or blindness. They can also kill. www.wired.com/story/what-t...

Watched this on repeat today, everyone should see this. 🔥

“To Protect and Serve”

I 💙💙💙 this.

Anyone saying that we can’t abolish ICE clearly doesn’t remember that it didn’t exist until 2003, when the DHS was established by legislation. Prior to that we had INS— the N standing for Naturalization, meaning helping immigrants along the path to citizenship. A society that doesn’t

You know what to do…

It's so weird when people can't tell they're the villains in the story. People wake up like "doo da doo time to put on my ski mask and cover my badge number like a hero would." "I'm not wrong, it's the crying family I'm tearing apart that is the problem."

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

ICE is the new Klan. #OnYourSide

They were doing it legally. The cruelty is the point. I hate my Country right now. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 #WTFAmerica #Resist #Fight #Cruelty

🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸
