Donald Trump is “making fun of people for being Hispanic or dark-skinned or different colors,” says 10 year old, August. "Why is he talking to other people if he's orange?!”
Hear from the kids at the No Kings protests—and from the parents who decided to bring them.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem.

Seems noteworthy to me that they're admitting that they're sending in the military because of the state government's ideology!!!
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

oh cool now we’re physically assaulting US senators for the high crime of [checks notes] asking questions
Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:
“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

The head of the Department of Homeland Security literally just declared war on the second largest city of the United States and the state with the largest economy. Then a US senator was dragged out, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed.
Don't believe this is a crisis?

It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.

A sitting United States senator was just forcibly removed and detained because he ruined Noem’s press optics.
Sen. Padilla has every right to question Sec. Noem about folks being kidnapped and disappeared in his state.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.
But if a few people in masks start lighting stuff on fire? Then you have news. This creates an *enormous* attentional advantage towards the most violent and chaotic kind of protest.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.
Otherwise, it’s just racism.
