This video makes clear that Senator Padilla was not “charging” the Secy when Homeland Security agents began roughing him up and pushing him forcefully out of the room as he identified himself and tried to ask his question.

FIRST ON MSNBC: "It's all BS coming from Trump."

Sen. Padilla gets emotional talking about the treatment of immigrants from the Trump administration hours after being forcibly removed from a DHS press conference.

Senator Padilla spoke moments AFTER Kristi Noem outrageously stated she intended to “liberate” the City of Los Angeles from its democratically-elected mayor and governor.

He had every right to confront her about her incendiary, hateful, and deeply stupid statement.
DHS is also lying about him being repeatedly told to back away. The video shows the men who pushed him don’t even open their mouths, they just grab him and get them out of the room without saying a word.
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...

Will We Ever Recover From This?
Regardless of the House being flipped-will this country ever -again be seen as a safe haven and symbol of democracy? When our sisters and brothers, fellow human beings, are being denied their human rights -do not believe, for a second, that your rights are not at risk

Trump is making autocracy normal.
What makes an autocratic government? I put this out rhetorically, because history is repeating itself, from the disastrous tariffs under the Smoot-Hawley Act (1930) to
the creating and dividing persons into “others” to justify the actions
Educate everyone!

Cuts to St. Louis Holocaust Museum!!!!?
Thanks to anonymous donor projects will continue….
So much for Trump’s commitment to anti-semitism.

Which really was to serve his own agenda.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
