The people are the pawns in the cruel maga sham game. This #governmentshutdown is a manufactured crisis in which the #gaslightingoldparty is holding us hostage for ransom. This is not necessary but the maga #crueltyisthepoint. They oppose #healthcare.

"Congress has given ICE unprecedented resources... to mask themselves & do whatever...against residents & American citizens... they will step up using ICE and DOJ enforcements…to harass Democrats [and] citizen critics, and subvert future elections if they can.” -Excerpt from HCR's July 5, 2025 post

More than 400 of us stood up to tyrannical politicians in front of our U.S. Rep. #BillHuizenga's office today in Kalamazoo/Portage. What better way to embrace our Constitutional rights? @maddow.msnbc.com #NoKings #July4Protest #WomensMarch #PeoplesMarch #FreeAmerica #Indivisible #HandsOff

We chose to celebrate our freedom to criticize our government by doing just that, today, in front of the office of #RepBillHuizenga. People are grieving our country in the wake of the big ugly budget bill but we're not going down without a fight. #Indivisible #NoKings #KalamazooDemocraticParty

This court has effectively removed the constraints on this administration. The Congress is also not doing its job. That leaves us with a dictatorship.

Clearly, 5 to 13 million people simultaneously protesting what we don't like & don't want is falling on deaf ears.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know.

This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.

Trump and his shock troops are out of control.

This must end now.

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · Jun 12

Senator Padilla is forcibly shoved out of Kristi Noem's press briefing:

"I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the Secretary"

Remember this about what 47 is doing in L.A.: People were peacefully minding their own business, going to work, to school or to court on time to lawfully be here and #ICE went to those places & started grabbing people, disturbing the peace & terrorizing that city. This has all been a test case.

"In the name of humanity, we reject a racist America."

Has anyone noticed that the "don't tread on me" party is treading on everyone else and that a lawless president brings down a cruel, heavy hand on others he thinks are not following the law? You see how hypocritical that is, right?
