HE LITERALLY SAYS “I AM SENATOR ALEX PADILLA.”
DHS is arguing members of the Secret Service don't know who a U.S. Senator is, that he didn't identify himself (he does in the tape), lunged towards the Noem (not evident on the tape), and somehow all this necessitated him being hauled away, thrown to the ground and cuffed. x.com/DHSgov/statu...

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question.
They do this shit because they think they can get away with it.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.
Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.
She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her.
She. Is. A. Citizen.

The only people who benefit from Trump and the Republicans’ budget bill? Billionaires. Everyone else gets cuts—to healthcare, food assistance, and basic services. They’re robbing the working class to bankroll the ultra-wealthy.

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote.
The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE.
We can stop this. We have to.

I understand this will sound hyperbolic but it's more accurate than not to say anything you care about, this bill seeks to destroy.

Everyone needs to read Caste. Everyone. The Nazis studied how the American south had dealt with Black folks after the Civil War and modeled their policies on THAT.
The way progressive White folks keep ignoring that most Black folks lived under authoritarianism HERE from the early 1500s to the 1970s in parts of this country & instead reach to Germany to describe our current situation is deep—
Do y’all not know the Nazis modeled their system on Jim Crow HERE?
