useful piece for people who might be wavering on Zohran. from the outside he seems like a smart guy who is willing to build alliances with more experienced folks like Lander, I think that is key

Every year that passes, I come to better appreciate just how traumatic members of the US elite find it to be yelled at by progressive young people. It is vastly more upsetting to them than being yelled at by reactionaries. They warp their entire identities & ideologies around it!

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

As a 52-year-old, I grew up with domestic right wing terrorist organizations threatening violence daily, and blowing up buildings and killing people periodically, throughout my whole political life: it was the anti-abortion movement.

great thread from David that touches on one thing in particular that’s been bothering me: anti-choice violence has been running through the Christian right for 50 years. this isn’t new. it requires no novel explanation. any discussion that doesn’t center decades of killings/bombings is flat wrong.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

kinda feels a tiny bit like the lander/mamdani cross-support is aggravating to news/cuomo types because it shows that acrimony isn't a necessary part of elections and brinksmanship is avoidable

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

For people calling what Brad Lander did today a stunt: (1) He does weekly shifts at immigration court - that's just who Brad is. (2) Even if it was a stunt, who cares? We want politicians to put their bodies on the line -- make a scene to draw attention to what Trump's admin is doing.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

felt compelled to look up ICE authority for warrantless arrests if I'm reading this correctly, the circumstances under which ICE can arrest a citizen are basically limited to 'I literally saw you commit a felony and you're about to escape and no one's gonna be able to get a warrant' this aint that

One of FIFA’s biggest mistakes (which isn’t surprising considering their inherent sexism) is not launching the women’s Club World Cup first. It’s actually desired and would be so well received, which would have laid the blueprint for the men and given FIFA proof of concept to sell.

anyway, part of the reason that Trump bypasses the FBI background check process is that immediately before taking office, the FBI was investigating Gabbard for being on the Iranian payroll.
