In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was?
We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy.
I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

If Nazi Germany, they sent political prisoners to the camps before they sent the Jews. If a fascist state has a way to disappear a person, then nobody is safe.
Trump says he wants to send Americans to gulags in El Salvador: "I love that. If we could take some of our 20 time wiseguys that push people into subways ... if he would take them, I would be honored to give them. I don't know what the law says on that ... I'm all for it."

in 2010 if you said "this Citizens United decision will end up with one single person buying the House of Representives like a pound of cheese, so as to impeach judges who rule against his coup attempt" you'd have been dismissed as a hysteric
The fact that the world’s richest man works at the behest of the executive and can buy out the legislature is massively outside the scope of what the framers could have imagined
there’s is simply no constitutional measure that can guard against something like this
