Alex Padilla is a US Senator asking important questions and being violently detained. This is outrageous and reprehensible. All Americans must stand up to these authoritarian thugs.

Trump and his posse are completely out of control. This has to stop immediately.

We all must stand with Senator Padilla.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. @NormaJTorres

FINANCIAL AID 101 💰 The term “Financial Aid” refers to money used to pay for college. Some of this money is “free money” or money you don’t have to pay back like scholarships and grants. Another form of financial aid is work-study where you have to earn money by working on-campus job. Lastly, loans are borrowed money that you will eventually need to pay back.
