I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

No one is saying we shouldn’t have borders — I am saying we do have borders and laws, and that by pretending we don’t we are buying into the GOP’s anti-immigrant narrative.
Dems should be talking about to improve the immigration system. Not repeating Trump’s talking points.

Pete Hegseth will soon pass Samuel Little as the deadliest serial murderer in American history.
SecDef announcing another (9th) lethal strike, again in the Pacific against an unspecified "designated terrorist organization."
Claims these "DTOs are the 'Al Qaeda' of our hemisphere.
Nope.
No armed attack on US like 9/11.
No AUMF.
No armed conflict.
Just more lawless premeditated killing.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.
The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Could not be more clear the president wishes he had unilateral power to imprison people, like in an absolute monarchy
He doesn’t so instead he’s forcing the govt to bring charges against his enemies because he wants vengeance
Nakedly corrupt, the sort of thing that necessitates removal from office

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

“F—k them kids!” That’s what federal agents said about the half-naked children zip-tied together & dragged into the streets of Chicago in the dead of night Tuesday morning during one of Convicted Felon Trump’s raids.

Trump & Hegseth are prepping the military for orders to fire on American citizens. The only question at this point is whether those orders would be followed at the command level.
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"
