Look at what Noem says right before they attack Padilla. they are trying to overthrow our govt. "we are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and this mayor have placed on this country." www.reddit.com/r/PublicFrea...

I always knew that even when we were fully under authoritarian rule and living in a fascist state that the media would never even come around to acknowledge it. 'Trump continues bending the rules.'

I’m willingly to bet senator Padilla has called and/or sent letters of inquiry to Noem and was ignored, hence why he showed up in person. This is the definition of good trouble. More dems are going to have to be willingly to get into good trouble. Change doesn’t come from being silent.

Democrats should march with protesters on Saturday. MLK and the civil rights movement changed our country forever!! We and all minorities owe him all the civil rights we enjoy today. Let's honor his legacy and fight just like they did, fearlessly. No kings in America!!!!!!

They are coming for us, your neighbors, their pregnant wives, their sick children, heck my granddaughter is a target. Fellow citizens, please stand up to this tyranny, yes, FIGHT back, peacefully for now. Oppression must be stopped, our constitution demands it, it provides many vehicles to assist us

All this is a painful reminder of when my 1st year law constitutional law professor, William R. Bishin, told me to sit down and shut up and threatened to throw me out of the class if I said one more word, after I had explained a case and said how interesting it was to read it in the case books.

For me, as a German, the entire development of the past few days feels like a live lesson in our own tragic history. SA, SS, Gestapo, terrorizing the opposition, persecution of minorities... it’s all there. Back in the days it was just split second, when Germany turned fully to nazidictatorship.

Yes… we’re there. We need the ICC to sanction everyone in the trump administration and to declare them criminals for “Crimes against Humanity.” In their treatment of immigrants, and now the American people. That way we’ll have someone to hand these monsters off to, when we take back our country.

Folks seem to be missing Noem's statement at that moment "We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." She removing a Governor?

These f-ing fascists must be stopped. Bring friends, families, neighbors to No Kings day. After, find ppl in your area and get active. Indivisible, Working Families Party, SURJ, yr union, church/temple group- we all do our part now or it’s over. Let’s go, America! 🇺🇸 🔥

He did ID himself! I am more interested in the question he began to ask. I heard, “ …the fact of the matter is a half a dozen violent criminals that you are rotating on your …” so what was the rest of his question that they clearly did not want to be recorded, aired or asked.

The policemen arresting Padilla know better. Yet, they are taking the side of facism. America's assignment: Photograph every "law enforcement" individual involved in these wrongdoings. Don't give them any chance of deniability when this over.

Jim Acosta pointed out that this is a crucial moment for Sen. John Thune. The Senate majority leader needs to speak out and condemn this treatment of his colleague Sen. Padilla. "The clock is ticking," Jim said. I just called Thune's office and left a voicemail - Phone: (202) 224-2321

Schumer is there speaking out angrily! Thune is the guy in charge of the Republican majority and one of Padilla's colleagues! We have to force him to speak out!

So no one is permitted to speak when the queen is speaking?!?! Then at the end of the video to cover up cameras and say no filing. What a bunch of BS!! At least Senator Padilla had the COURAGE to attend the press conference and speak.

This is the end of American so called democracy in reality.The real face of American democracy is ugly but the public wasn’t aware of that because the implementations were overseas… This is what I like most about Trump; he finally proved that both democracy is a lie.Thx to Trump,make-up has gone!

Trump is supposed to come to my country next week and I (and the majority of Canadians) do not want him here. This needs to be the least of the consequences for the havoc and hatred that he wreaks. Not to mention the other things that he "reeks"...

Why? Would Hitler have been allowed to enter Canada? The entire world needs to hold trump accountable. And yes, he’s got the bully pulpit, but things will become much worse for the entire world if he isn’t completely isolated.

This is what fascism looks like. Even if you are a U.S. senator representating millions of Americans,Trump's fascist thugs manhandle you, physically push you out & deny your right to speak. Thank you Senator Padilla for resisting. Democrat reps: prepare what to do when fascist thugs do the same.

The king has no clothes, and everything is crumbling around him. Tossing out a Senator like this is not a sign of strength ... it is a sign of weakness. TACO is backing off of raids due to the public rising against him; he will cancel his parade because no one is attending. The end is near...
