MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant.

This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech.

I'm a constituent. I voted for you twice.

I want to know why you would cast an "aye" vote to censure your colleague for an action GOP members engaged in repeatedly against Presidents Obama & Biden.

Shame on you.

imagine if all of the Palisades houses burned down and everyone left with only a few belongings packed up and decided to move to other cities in California that said no, sorry, you’re from LA we don’t like your kind, also Dodgers suck. That’s our current national immigration policy

Watching from Canada, I think it is. The checks and balances have been dismantled, and Trump’s agenda will include laws that prevent Democrats, resistors and whatever journalists continue to exist from launching any kind of opposition. You are entering your Pinochet era. It will take decades to undo

Pinochet, a CIA-backed dictator who killed 30k in his first year alone, let the Hayek-inspired Chicago Boys take over Chile's economy. The following recession was brutal. Afterwards the economy recovered slowly but was soon hit by another recession ousting the Boys.

SAD FACT: Majority of America hates women and Black people so much they’d rather have a white rapist racist in charge.

Lame. Embarrassing.

And fuck Hulk Hogan.

Morning Joe licking Trump’s boots wasn’t an isolated incident. Many people will save themselves and normalize authoritarianism.

It’s time for you to make a decision about what you’ll do and what you won’t accept. And the time of choosing is now.

Immigrants are the backbone of this country. Which makes this fun because clearly the GOP is fine with our housing shortage, infrastructure issues, and all farms, restaurants, and hotels ceasing to function. 🥵🥵🥵
