Regime change, basically. I know, it's not quite the same thing, but WOW. Those were the first words I thought when I read her statement. And kept thinking as I watched it.

The brutal arrest of a Senator asking a question at a press conference, the threat of Marines being unleashed on the public, and the attack on science are all symptoms of the same illness.
When we are punished for asking questions and striving for better, we are no longer free.

This administration is making its intentions clear: Dissent will be punished, even if it comes from a sitting U.S. senator on federal ground.

Sen. Alex Padilla's Violent Removal from DHS Event Is a Shameless Attempt to Silence Critics - American Oversight

Silencing political dissent with force is a dangerous abuse of power. Handcuffing a U.S. Senator for doing his job? This is not normal, and no one should act like it is.
Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage.

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.

Our press, once the one of the best in the world, has fully abdicated its duty to us and have fully embraced being the media wing of the oligarchy.

The US is now “monetizing hegemony”.

That is perhaps the most precise description of the current situation I’ve heard from a leader of any country, including the EU in six months. Brave and true.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house."
The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”
