Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying.

We ALL need to step up for the first amendment.

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.”

Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing?

There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

The fascists from the Trump regime claimed Senator Padilla lunged at KKKosplay KKKristi KKKunt Noem. The video clearly shows she wasn’t near the Senator. We are in full Autocratic dictatorship mode now folks. Bye bye Ms American Pie.

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out.

The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything.

We’re quickly traversing a dangerous path

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.

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.”

Newsom's press office on the Padilla incident:
“DIDN'T IDENTIFY HIMSELF!? It’s the FIRST THING out of his mouth in the video.
You’ve detained a mayor. A judge. A union leader. Now a U.S. Senator.
You’ve deployed Marines on U.S. soil.
If a President did this abroad, we'd have a word for it: DICTATOR.

Supreme Court makes it easier to sue schools over disability accommodations
The justices unanimously sided with a family who argued that schoolchildren had to meet an unfairly high burden to show schools are falling short under federal law. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim
directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

You all are incredible. You’ve been collecting videos, photos, and detailed notes piecing together exactly what happened. The narrative this administration tried to push? You dismantled it in hours.

The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles, but they were not requested by California. Both Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass made it clear that the state did not authorize or want federal troops deployed.
