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.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Corey Lewandowski and Kristi Noem are married -- not to each other

They had an extra marital affair with one another

He was with Noem when they had Senator Alex Padilla dragged out of her press conference and handcuffed

A DHS secretary having an extra marital affair is a national security risk

The Trump administration's thuggery has no bounds! Manhandling Senator Alex Padilla is a despicable display of DHS brutality. Trump's lawless regime will stop at nothing to silence critics.

Judge Breyer found not only that Trump Admin failed to follow lawful procedure in activating National Guard in LA, but also failed to show a “rebellion” or inability to execute federal law. In other words, as I read it, order was based on a pretext.

"When you understand that the 2020 unrest did not exist in a bubble, that it wasn’t just an anomaly but instead a continuation of the fight for Black liberation and anti-capitalism in the face of police violence, we realize there can be hope that another mass movement can happen again."

Trans people have so much to lose, their lives even under Trump. I don't see us making excuses for the worst of us on a consistent basis like liberals do. We have standards and respect for humanity on a basic level. I, for one, will not throw my people under the bus for the transphobe Gavin Newsom.

Reminder California Governor Gavin Newsom *personally* cleared homeless people's camps and stole-destroyed their few belongings. He is not your social justice and pro-democracy warrior. He is a sucky and horrible opportunist with zero moral compass.

Feels fitting for Trump's worst poll numbers to come the same day as Zohran's best poll numbers, the same day a judge rules Trump cannot keep detaining Mahmoud Khalil in this way, all while tens of thousands of people nationwide are taking to the streets to defend their neighbors

A Federal judge says he could release Mahmoud Khalil as soon as this week. And he damn well better do so.

Which just goes to show you that we are living in a fascist regime of idiots with all of their heads up the felon’s fat ass.
Federal judge says he could release Mahmoud Khalil as soon as this week
Judge Michael Farbiarz said the government cannot keep Khalil detained based on its accusation that he threatens U.S. foreign policy goals. But the judge gave the government time to appeal.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.
