One of the most successful propaganda campaigns of our time is the right-wing claim that liberals dominate the media. The right has pushed this myth for decades on Fox and other outlets. You know about it because RIGHT-WING MEDIA HAVE A HUGE MEGAPHONE. My thread. 1/10 🧵

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

This is college in the United States. Video from inside a Brown University building shows the moment that police found a group of students who were sheltering after the shooting on campus. This isn't freedom.

I read Tim Kaine’s statement. I am unconvinced there is any benefit to his decision to cave to the Republicans (and President Trump) without any gain. He has had my unwavering support for decades. No more. I will not forget this vote. VA deserves more courageous representation.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.”
ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal.
Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”
Thank goodness Senator Padilla was released, presumably without charge.
From Sen. @padilla.senate.gov's office: Padilla “is currently in Los Angeles exercising his duty to perform Congressional oversight of the federal government’s operations … He tried to ask the Secretary a question, and was forcibly removed by federal agents, forced to the ground and handcuffed.”

This is a sitting US Senator being roughly arrested for trying to ask a question.
Alex Padilla’s staff sent this to Sam Stein.
Image of him wrestled to the ground by federal agents and being arrested.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

I remember when the networks would break into regular programming to report big stories. WTF? Authoritarianism cannot be thwarted if people don’t know what’s happening. Not everyone is on social media or watching cable TV. Break into whatever sports thing is commanding America’s attention!

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda."
