I have normie friends on FB who I went to high school with who have been completely apolitical for years up until recently and now they're actively telling people to go to the No Kings protests this weekend. We should WANT normies to be in the streets!! This is a HUGE opportunity
I don’t want to light up this person’s mentions but this is bullshit. The legitimacy of protests doesn’t rest on whether they were planned in advance or not. People also have jobs, so the weekend is when they have time to demonstrate. Fuck off with this garbage.

She could have said "As Whiney Houston said, I believe the children are our future." She did not. She chose to quote Hitler. Don't positively quote Hitler if you don't want to be associated with Nazis.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

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.

Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

Kristi Noem played a starring role
in today’s ugly fascist theater.
She said the feds will “liberate” L.A.
from its elected leaders.
When Senator Padilla spoke up
he was downed and cuffed by her official beaters.
This latest obscenity brings us closer to the edge
on which our democracy teeters.

Not only will Republican Senators do nothing to defend Sen Padilla. They will probably praise the DHS/FBI and Noem for attacking him. Republican Senators are cowards afraid to say anything that may derail Donald Trump’s descent into madness and total authoritarinaism

Noem’s Goons crossed the reddest of red lines by attacking and handcuffing a U.S. Senator. In times past Senators of both parties would have rallied behind their fellow Senator and called Noem and her henchmen into the Senate to demand their resignations. MAGA Senators will do nothing.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

No President has the right to use the uniformed military in a way that violates the Constitution and taints the apolitical military. Whether you’re a supporter of the president or not, everyone should be concerned that major lines on the use of force are now being crossed.

Yesterday, President Trump called up 2,000 National Guard troops to LA over the objections of the governor, mayor, and the LAPD. It's the first time in 60 years that a president has sent troops into a U.S. state without the Governor’s consent. 🧵

Republican claims that cuts to Medicaid are about reducing fraud are flat out wrong and they know it. Protecting Medicaid isn’t a partisan issue. We’ve had letters from Republicans in the Washington state legislature saying don’t make these cuts.
