Yesterday, thanks to the @nytimes.com Spelling Bee and @merriam-webster.com, I learned that the term "antifa" was actually coined after World War Two and simply means "a person or group actively opposing fascism." Based on that definition, I am antifa. #IamAntifa

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

The artists responsible for last year's poop statue appear to have struck again. This time with a work called “Dictator Approved,” an 8-foot-tall sculpture showing a gold-painted hand with a thumbs-up quashing the sea foam green crown of the Statute of Liberty on the National Mall.

Did the mystery poop artist strike again? Signs point to yes.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van?

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

They are lying. The Trump administration needs to be stopped, now. #resist #impeachtrumpnow
A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.
But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Sen. Padilla pushed to ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie
Forcibly removing a sitting US senator, as they opposed the president's immigration policy, is a part of a broader slide.

Just like Putin saying that Ukraine needs to be "liberated" from their democratically elected leaders. This authoritarian coup needs to stop now. #resist #impeachtrumpnow
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.
