The only appropriate response to what Trump is doing is impeachment and removal from office. Elected officials who are not working toward this goal with urgency are helping to destroy the constitution and the rule of law.

The Washington Post depicts resistance to fascism as if it were a political stunt. The shallowness and cynicism of the Post is shameful.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Senator Padilla makes an excellent point: if the FBI and Secret Service were willing to physically remove a Senator they had just escorted into the room, force him down on the floor and cuff him because he tried to ask a question What do you think they & ICE do to regular people?

A friend in suburban San Diego woke up at 5:45 AM to flash bombs and masked armed men claiming to be from the government breaking into homes on street and disappearing people into vans. This is real and happening in America right now. This is Germany circa 1935. Don’t look away people

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

A wise person knows that the best way to fight fascism is to fight fascism. Not to give into it piecemeal. The person who thinks that we just need to find the right sacrifice to feed to the fascists in order to appease them is, at best, a collaborator.

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

I'm sorry, if Liz Cheney's presence, even with hindsight, is too much for you to bear, I think your antifascist principles kind of suck! I'm of exactly the right age to hate her too, and share your distaste, but if distancing yourself from her was more important than stopping all this, well!

I can't believe the United States suffered a political assassination on Saturday, and all that's left of that story on Tuesday is calling out Mike Lee for being an unfeeling monster. The USA has a huge political violence problem, completely incompatible with a functioning democracy.

jfc Lander, as he's being cuffed: "You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens. You don't have the — I'm not obstructing; I'm standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant. [...] You don't have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens asking for a judicial warrant."

It's quickly becoming a normal occurrence for Democratic elected officials to be physically assaulted, threatened with arrest, or prosecuted on bogus charges. If you'd recited the litany from just the past month a year ago, it would have been dismissed as hysterical.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

We have a federal secret police dragging away our public officials in plain sight, in front of cameras, with no warrants, no badge numbers. Judges, a Senator, a Representative (she got charged with a felony), now a mayoral candidate/city comptroller

"Detained" is an interesting word choice. It sounds official but it just means they grabbed him. They couldn't say "arrested" because that would open up questions like "on what authority" and "for what charge." If you or I "detained" someone we could be charged with unlawful imprisonment

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This is exactly why I press Democrats to push back. The media might do this kind of fact-checking on its own, but when a prominent Democrat makes the case for them, it's much more likely they'll run a piece like this. Well done, @amyklobuchar.com and @sltrib.com

In serious countries that are actual democracies, strong mainstream parties force members who do stuff like this to resign, & far right authoritarian parties that do this are shunned from government. Here in 🇺🇸, one of our two parties has collapsed into far right authoritarianism. So neither happens.

Irrational numbers cannot exist. Therefore I posit that the so called “real numbers” are badly named. We should call them the “fake numbers”.

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

The political assassinations in MN = domestic terrorism. A reminder that the guy now running the DHS division responsible for combating domestic terror & targeted attacks is a 22 yr old with no federal experience, and whose last job was his own lawn mowing biz. Dems should now be screaming this.
