I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Did the federal government convert Alcatraz back to a working prison after Trump saw a movie? No

How about send troops to Portland after Trump watched a 2020 George Floyd clip on Fox? Yes

His enablers choose which insanity to act on, knowing he'll lose interest and forget

The reason this ad works is not just that it appeals to a lot of Americans, but that Mallory looks and sounds like someone who genuinely cares about this.

We need more relatable and authentic candidates. Mallory is that.

Newsom: "Right outside, at this exact moment, are dozens and dozens of ICE agents. Do you think it's coincidental? ... people are scared ... you have a US Senator thrown on the ground. JD Vance -- his name is Alex Padilla, not Jose Padilla ... wake up, America."

Historians are the most valuable people in society right now. Politicians, reporters, editors and pundits can't meet the moment because the vast majority are either unaware of the historical events preceding it or they're simply incapable of synthesizing them. Historians are our pathfinders.

I’m glad the experience of American citizens, also young people just trying to play ball, laws bare the utter senseless cruelty of the unconstitutional racially profiling this is.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump triedβ€”but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism.

It's a lie.

Why Are Federal Agents Wearing Masks? It’s a Threat to American Democracy Masked Federal Agents Are Undermining Trustβ€”and Democracy

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge.
Federal agents are snatching people off the streetsβ€”faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher.

I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

'Weakness masquerading as strength': Hear Newsom's blistering speech on Trump as LA protests persist
YouTube video by CNN 'Weakness masquerading as strength': Hear Newsom's blistering speech on Trump as LA protests persist

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now.

Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angryβ€”in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump.

This is how you want a leader to talk.
