This hits hard! An L.A. protest in the 1930s, pushing back against illegal immigration raids. During the Great Depression, thousands of Mexican immigrants and their U.S.-born kids were deported. Racism and economic fear drove it then, just like now.

COVID-19 vaccines may protect patients from severe kidney damage. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients were less likely to have severe kidney damage if they were vaccinated. www.upi.com/Health_News/...

I hate having to constantly explain basic stuff like ā€œexternalitiesā€ to this administration. Do people think we were subsidizing solar for funzies or because it has benefits in terms of CO2 reduction not captured in the direct value of electricity it produces?

Every doc I’ve had the privilege to work with in my 32yrs of being an RN agrees with this! Every other medical professional agrees as well! We’ve had it with this monster of an incompetent brain damaged freak!

And just like that, U.S. forces are involved.

um what? sounds like more than a stern warning www.cnn.com/2025/06/13/u...

ICE is trump's Gestapo.

This terrifying forecast shows how Trump’s reckless tariffs will crater living standards and punish working families. He gambles with our wallets for his ego. www.alternet.org/ny-...

CNN's Elie Honig analyzed a federal judge's ruling that questioned the legality of president Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard in California without Gov. Gavin Newsom's approval.

Do you know how stupid a person has to be to brag in their book about killing a puppy? Kristi Noem can tell you how to lure a puppy to its death But doesn’t know the definition of habeas corpus. Kind of important to know for her job #Fascist m.youtube.com/watch?v=QD8D...

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge issued a sweeping order blocking President Donald Trump’s unprecedented seizure of California’s National Guard, calling the move illegal and a ā€œdangerous precedent. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Judge says Trump illegally called up National Guard to assist with LA protests and must return control to governor.

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?ā€œ

There’s the Kristi Noem version—then there’s the truth. WATCH: Sen. Alex Padilla’s first interview since he was forced out of a federal building press conference… for daring to ask questions.

The administration’s assault of my friend and colleague, @padilla.senate.gov, is a time for every one of us to look hard at this moment and say: what comes next?

We the PEOPLE are the only antidote to this reckless administration. We must make our voices heard. Sec. Noem should resign or be impeached.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

āš ļø DC CONSUMER ALERT āš ļø Multiple companies are using deceptive tactics to trick or pressure DC residents into changing energy providers — then charging higher rates. We are alerting residents about this third-party energy company scam and how they can avoid becoming a victim.

Remind me again about only ā€œa few bad applesā€ in the police. Here they are arresting a US senator. Many of us are going to have to come to terms is that law enforcement serves power & šŸ’°, not the ppl.

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

"Ice agents have families and loved ones" yeah that's how domestic violence works

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects. We the People.

"How could you say that you did not know who he was?" L.A. Mayor Karen Bass speaks out on the forced removal of California Sen. Alex Padilla from a DHS press conference. DHS claimed the senator "interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself."

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

ā€œICEā€ as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said thisšŸ‘‡šŸ¾ MAN AT CHURCH: ā€œWe don’t want this in our property.ā€ ICE: ā€œThe whole country is our property.ā€ No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

There has long been zero fucking excuse for Senate Dems to cede the power they have to slow or stop that body’s work from proceeding and now there is less than zero

We have long passed the point when impeachment is justified

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions ā€œdisrespectfulā€. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

Wild story: a quality manager who warned about the shoddy construction of Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes was particularly concerned about the ones sent to Air India in 2014. That's when the Air India jet that crashed today was sent. prospect.org/economy/2025...

We need to lean on each other right now, but don’t forget who warned us. Who fought this from the start. Who tried to keep us out of this authoritarian shitshow. Remember this when it’s time to rebuild.

'CBP’s confirmation of its drone usage comes after the LA Times also reported that an LAPD helicopter flying over protesters announced to them, ā€œI have all of you on camera. I’m going to come to your house.ā€ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They’ve been selling the same old schtick of ā€œtrickle down economicsā€ since Reagan & it’s NEVER proven to be true! The middle class is being wiped out by tax cuts for the rich!

The WaPo has appointed a new guy as head of their opinion section. He says he is going to implement the "free markets & personal liberties" mandate of the boss. But! He says: "What we won’t be are people who lecture you about ideology or demand you think certain ways about policy."
