My Senator being tackled and detained by Trump's gestapo. Full fascism. Full stop.

Bukele and Trump are complicit in an illegal scheme to use US taxpayer dollars to ship people to El Salvador in violation of their constitutional rights. Today we introduced sanctions against the Bukele regime to fight this cash-for-collusion deal & assault on our Constitution:

“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.

A grand total of 160 people have been arrested for protesting in LA in almost an entire week! That requires 4,700 armed troops? Only when you're Chicken Little trying to manufacture a crisis.

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

Newsom testified to the character of Padilla after video of his handcuffing went viral, calling him “one of the most decent people I know.”

NEW: A federal judge in a hearing Thursday appeared deeply skeptical of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) legal defense of President Donald Trump federalizing the California National Guard in response to largely peaceful protests in Los Angeles. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

JFC. A Republican member of the South Carolina House who prosecutors say used the screen name “joebidennnn69” has been arrested and charged with 10 counts of distributing sexual abuse material involving children. apnews.com/article/sex-...

I have a lot of things to say about this but they're best expressed by the following: lol. Also, potentially, lmao.

More chaos at home. More wars abroad. This Trump regime is an international disaster.

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

Los Angeles is OCCUPIED

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

@angrystaffer.bsky.social why are we celebrating America’s Independence in 2025? My math says is isn’t until 2026?

LAPD’s Chief says they still have no idea what the military’s mission in LA is. There are no open deconfliction channels between the military and local law enforcement. Having multiple groups with weapons operating in the same area with no way to communicate is fucking insane.

#GVerse #Attention - #Shitface47's regime tanks destroying DC streets, for the birthday parade is estimated to cost millions of dollars in damage to roads that will have to be repaired using US tax payer money.

I don’t know who woke up at CNN and said “you know what? We’re just going to tell the truth today” but WELL DONE

Oh, that’s OK, Elon! No harm done. Well, except for Donald sending ICE and the National Guard into Los Angeles to arrest and shoot citizens just to provide a distraction from you calling him a pedophile. Other than that, no big deal, you tiresome twit.

law and order though, right?

Trump's religious liberty commission members and advisers have pushed Christian nationalist, anti-Muslim, and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric in right-wing media: www.mediamatters.org/salem-media-...

I just wanna say something really plainly that I haven’t seen spelled out like this There is no such thing as legal immigration anymore. Because they are taking people at their citizenship hearings they are taking people who are doing everything by the book. 1/2

Who’s gonna tell her? The incompetence is real. Leaked letter shows Noem asking Hegseth to authorize military to make arrests www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

LA Protest Update: 6:36 PM PST Cops of very skittish horses that they are barely able to control are charging protestors without provocation. If they want people to move away from a certain area, a bullhorn would be more effective, if keeping things peaceful is their goal.

Yikes

A 9-months pregnant U.S. citizen was hospitalized after ICE arrested her for “obstructing” her undocumented husband’s arrest. This isn’t safety—it’s state violence. Traumatizing a mother and her unborn child destabilizes families, not protects them. #ImmigrantJustice #Pinks

Boom in your face 💥🤣

Are people actually buying this shit? The national guard hasn’t done *anything* in LA yet. Trump is just using our military as pawns for his political games.

Just saying, but if you’re having to deploy the national guard in *Texas* maybe you’re on the wrong side of this issue

SecDef authorizes “voluntary departure” of dependents in the Middle East, citing rising tensions with Iran. Reports that all nonessential personnel will also be removed from Baghdad. Not ideal. apnews.com/article/stat...

Well said. A piece of paper is NOT more important than a life.

Powerful address to California by our governor, but my local NBC4 newscaster just called him “President” Newsom by mistake lol 😂☠️

NEW: A data broker owned by the country’s major airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United, collected US travelers’ domestic flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). www.wired.com/story/airlin...

Trump’s fascist play in California escalates, the Defense Sec flunks his job, the latest on Abrego Garcia after his return, and Mexico schools Trump on steel. Popok breaks it all down at the intersection of law + politics live at 8p ET/5p PT!

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities: Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly. If any of these are your hometowns—get ready. If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

Nights of BLUE SKIES (sound) DAY 10 JUNE 2025 ICYMI Powerful message "WILL HE SUCCEED " We know who he is Now it is up to US If you can Please join a NO KINGS MARCH, Saturday June 14th all over our Country Go to: nokings.org

Absolutely ridiculous. Moran stated verifiable facts that anyone paying attention knows.

Do y'all remeber when Fat donnie called the Jan 6th INSURRECTION when asked about it? He called it "A day of love" yet today, he said the Los Angeles protests were violent and the city was on fire. He's going straight dictator, pure fascist, full of hate for those opposed to him! #FuckTrump

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom: This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next."

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

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly
