Listen to Cory Booker:  "This is something that we should not tolerate and by we, this is not Democrats and Republicans, this is we in this body, we have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight to the executive. " #senatorpadilla

Happy Obama Appreciation Day! #NoKingsDay #Pinks 💖 #MomSky

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

Less than 5 months in: ☑️Arrested a judge ☑️Arrested a Democratic mayor ☑️Arrested a Democratic Congressperson ☑️Detained a Democratic Senator ☑️Threatening to arrest a Democratic Governor ☑️Investigating other political enemies ☑️Deploying Marines domestically They are not hiding their intentions.

www.axios.com/2025/06/13/a... Democrats spooked by President Trump's state-sanctioned shows of force have shifted into five-alarm fire mode, warning he's pushing American democracy to the brink.

How does this help any de escalation efforts?

Trump is the very thing he warned us about. Read “the issue.” — new 👇🏼

🧵 1/2 Senator Padilla’s press conference removal response “I couldn’t accept the rhetoric anymore, I had the audacity to ask a question, I introduced myself, I’m Senator Alex Padilla & I have a question It took all of maybe a second for multiple agents to forcibly remove me” 📽️ was too long-🧵2/2👇

I'm kinda feeling violent myself seeing this. I'm so over this, and I hope that enough of America is too. This needs to be shut down, or this will be happening to every American in everyday life

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the Trump Administration’s abuse of Senator Alex Padilla: “The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace. Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable. No one is above the law.”

This is awful, but I continue to maintain that I would like it if Mike Johnson were to become president for a brief period of time. bsky.app/profile/just...

THIS IS A SITTING US SENATOR PEACEFULLY ATTEMPTING TO ASK QUESTIONS OF A DHS SECRETARY. It is the Trump administration that is causing violence wherever they go, not the other way around.

There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this.

This is not my America...not even close.

Kristi Noem must resign. If she doesn’t, she needs to be removed. Her goons put hands on a sitting USA Senator Alex Padilla, handcuffed and detained him. This is fascism. This cannot stand. Let’s see Democrats hold her accountable NOW #FascistUSA

This video shows what happened to Sen. Padilla after they forcibly removed him from Kristi Noem's press conference. He's given orders from the officers that would cause him to smash his face, then pushed to the ground and handcuffed. Via: x.com/elex_michael...

Shut it the fuck down, Senator.

Did Trump’s FBI just arrest a sitting U.S. Senator—at a Kristi Noem press conference? 🚨 BREAKING: MSNBC is reporting California Senator Alex Padilla was shoved from the press conference and handcuffed. This isn’t okay. Everyone should be alarmed by this!

Another reason for Newsom to keep talking - just to make Fox try to defend fascism and look like idiots! youtube.com/watch?v=yGg2...

In our Outlaw Prez’s never-ending campaign to eliminate or hide info that conflicts with his infernal agenda, the latest target being shivved is NOAA’s public education site climate.gov. Hey, Donnie, a reminder: Erasing climate data doesn’t erase climate change. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

No sleep for ICE tonight as activists found their hotel again. Hotel managers have to decide whether that GSA per diem money is worth having their hotel completely surrounded 24/7 by protesters.

1/4 Keep your eyes on Congress too! Today, the House is poised to vote on a devastating rescission package that would gut $9.4 billion from programs Congress already approved—including ALL federal funding for NPR, PBS, and critical international aid. 📢 Take action: tinyurl.com/Clawback-bil...

BREAKING: An ICE vehicle just RAMMED into a civilian car in Boyle Heights. Then they gassed it. Then they dragged out the driver. All three people in that car are U.S. citizens. This is militarized racial profiling on steroids.

Enjoy your canned vegetables for Thanksgiving, people. This is only going to get worse.

I would love a drone footage of these troops guarding the federal buildings against no one. @dprzygoda.bsky.social know anyone?

When was the last time we wondered about who puts things on shelves? Today, those invisible ones are seen only to be criminalized for fleeing poverty and oppression. Are they really stealing a glamorous life from us? Pass it on if you stand with those who work in the shadows. #OnYourSide

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

HERE’S THE ACTUAL TRUTH…👇 ENJOY. 😎✨

Heads up!!

I was at a car wash in Culver City today that was raided twice last weekend by ICE. 25 car wash workers and 1 customer have been kidnapped over the past several days, and the whereabouts of most of them is unknown. I spoke to families of the kidnap victims: prospect.org/justice/2025...

As they say: Don't bite the hand that feeds you

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

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

Y'all know what to do
