""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..." www.wnep.com/article/news...

I know the person who reposted this example of MAGA BULLSHIT. I also know that he is of the people who will be MOST impacted by the Trump/GOP "Big Beautiful Bill" if it passes in anything similar to its current form. The MAGA have no idea what the GOP is trying to do to them. #USDemocracy

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

You miss the point entirely - putting a US Flag next to the American - fucks up Trumps fascist optics which is all the cares about - it’s a way to be subversive

National Guard troops have temporarily detained civilians in LA protests, a first. And a bad one. This will backfire on Trump.

They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leader—and now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you. They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.

giant discrepancy between the rhetoric about the protests and the live shot of the protests where a SEIU guy is just jamming out on a guitar

It’s not a game, dipshit.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

I've said it once, and I'll keep saying it as long as I'm governor: If you come for Illinoisans, you have to come through me.

"In other words, the Trump administration is vowing to get rid of the democratically elected government of California by using military force. That threat is the definition of a coup." open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Called @warren.senate.gov and @markey.senate.gov urging them to put legislation in the floor of the United States Senate, making it a felony to arrest a US Senator persuing their duties as a Senator, and prosecutable by the Sargeant of Arms of the Congress

This. This is why Trump was firing all the inspectors general. I hope when this Signalgate crap comes to a head, the proper heads roll.

Pete Buttigieg Delivers The Perfect Response To The Alex Padilla Assault open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

“The more you tighten your grip, [T.A.C.O.], the more star systems will slip through your fingers” -- Princess Leia Gift article: www.mercurynews.com/2025/06/12/c...

And all of this is applauded by a large portion of voters who are politically clueless

“To characterize what is going on in our city as a city of mayhem is just an outright lie" "I’m not going to call it an untruth. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I’m going to call it for what it is, which is a lie.” -- Mayor Bass www.latimes.com/california/s...

The T.A.C.O. administration is pure evil, there is nothing of Jesus Christ in them. Gift article: www.mercurynews.com/2025/06/12/l...

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

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

Sherrill: "You're blowing money on poorly conceived operations and vanity projects...Retrofitting the Qatari jet to serve as Air Force One costs about $400 million. The parade in D.C. will cost $40 million. Your campaign in Yemen cost about a $1 billion. Operations in LA will cost tens of millions."

Don’t. Give. Him. What. He. Wants. 😎✨

This grotesque cowardly ICE bully grabbed and pushed community organizers from @newvamajority.bsky.social who are LEGALLY permitted to observe and record what is happening in the parking lot of a courthouse. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/i...

Sen Cory Booker is already on the Senate floor speaking out. He’s right: this isn’t an isolated incident—it’s a pattern of abuse by the Trump regime targeting those who dare to hold them accountable & law enforcement engaged in racial profiling. 🤬🤬🤬 @booker.senate.gov

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 “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.
