BREAKING: NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander, fighting for migrants’ rights, was detained just for trying to prevent an unjust ICE arrest. When standing up for humanity gets you arrested by masked federal agents at a courthouse, you know authoritarianism is here.

A quote from the leader of the current regime. In January 2025: “Our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent and totally unpredictable." So this regime is dragging the USA into another potential regional war.🤬

ground.news/article/brea... I watched the full video. He did not assault "law enforcement officers ". That's a lie. He was asking a question about a warrent. He had a right to that. How can one man impede a dozen "law officers " these typical trumped up charges.

So, on the one hand, good service journalism. On the other, how sad is it to need a headline like this? Making food poisoning great again, I guess? www.wral.com/consumer/5on...

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

“It’s a complete waste of resources, but it’s also the unnecessary militarization of the United States using U.S. forces on U.S. soil against U.S. citizens,” @rokhanna.bsky.social told @theintercept.com. “There was no reason for this to be done...”

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Trump says mass deportations are urgent—but not if they mess with his donors’ pockets. ICE was told to back off farms & hotels 'cause it was bad for business. But LA and Chicago? Open season. Please be for real—this is the weaponization of government against cities that refuse to bow down to him.

If passed, the SAVE Act would limit access to our democracy for millions of eligible voters. The House has already passed it, but the Senate can still stop it in its tracks. Tell your Senator to REJECT this bill in defense of our voting rights.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution
