@democratsabroad well, they're still talking about #Padilla and not about #NoKingsDay so unfortunately one senator is more powerful than tens of millions of people in America

Senator #Padilla - This Is How an Administration Acts When It’s Afraid
"Today, it’s immigrants on the receiving end of Donald Trump’s outrage machine. Tomorrow, it could be anyone."

“And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway, repeatedly asking, ‘Why am I being detained?’ Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this,” he added.
He said he asked himself many questions in that moment, including where he was being taken, what his wife and sons would think, as well as whether speaking out had really been worth it.

"… we've seen masked federal agentsn in tactical gear, ordered into our communities. We've seen a disturbing pattern of increasingly extreme and cruel immigration enforcement operations targeting nonviolent people, at places of worship, at schools,
in courthouses, all to meet an arbitrary quota."

Ihr erinnert euch an Senator #Padilla, der während einer PK in LA mit Gewalt abgeführt und gefesselt wurde? Hier erklärt er, was nach seiner Freilassung geschah. Angeblich gab es ja anschließend ein Meeting mit K. Noem. Hmm, ja, aber weder gab es eine Entschuldigung noch Antworten auf seine Fragen.

MAGA and Trump “Bathed in political violence”
![Heather Cox Richardson 5/14/2025
MAGA and Trump “Bathed in political violence”
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) noted that MAGA has been “bathed in political violence” for the last five years. Trump's pardoning of the January 6 rioters, including those convicted of extreme violence, "became a clear endorsement of violence committed in his name.” Trump has encouraged violence and cozied up to brutal dictators, while MAGA has fetishized guns. When he celebrates violence, unhinged people listen. Murphy points out that while people of all political persuasions commit violence, no Democratic leader encourages violence as a political norm the way Trump and MAGA have done, citing “a straight line from Jan 6 to the pardons to the assault on Sen[ator] Padilla to Minnesota.”](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/693/629/601/510/245/original/80da4a10d67c21e2.jpeg)

"He looked like an illegal"
Let that sink in... Just because of Padilla's skin color the detainment of a senator was justified by Trump.

The second #Reconstruction of the #USA after this #NewCivilWar will require a drastic overhaul of the protections for all elected officials of federal and state governments.
"#Showboating" an active US 🇺🇸 Senator who is using his right to question actions of the executive branch of government should be made a #CapitalOffense.
"#California Sen. #AlexPadilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and #handcuffed..."

"This is a huge red flag"

#StaceyAbrams
..."As# Noem waxed at her press conference, prior to the attack on Sen. #Padilla, the mission is clear: “to liberate this 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.” We must acknowledge that #Trump, Noem, Speaker Mi. "...
Attacking #Padilla was disgusting and unacceptable, but honestly I’m more concerned with the attacks on #immigrants happening out of the limelight each and every day. I venture that Sen. Padilla would agree.
