How’s the “Biden is too old crowd” feeling?
How’s the “Kamala expects too much from her staff” crowd?
How’s the “Hillary was over prepared” crowd?
This is all on the shoulders of Republicans and out-of-touch so-called Democrats. IYKYK.

In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere.
Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that.
He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

These assaults, handcuffing and detention of elected officials are purposeful. They are intended to communicate that no one is safe and we should be silent. The are telling all of us that if we oppose their actions, we should know they're unfettered by the rule of law & feel free to assault anyone.
WATCH: NYC comptroller Brad Lander says he sat in a detention room for 3.5 hours without hearing a word about why he was arrested.
"They knew who I was. There's no doubt they knew I was the comptroller."

He also halted arms shipments to Ukraine without telling anyone, until congressional Republicans found out about it and got it reversed.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”
He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”
Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.
Marriott still has my business.

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

Rights of due process don't depend on our personal opinions of the accused. For example, I regard the January 6, 2021, criminals as insurrectionists and traitors - yet I am still glad that each and every one of them got a proper trial before they were convicted and sentenced.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships.
The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

By defying the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump is laying the groundwork to do the same to U.S. citizens.
Now is the time to speak out — before there is no one left to speak.
We are on a path towards dictatorship.
