NEW VIDEO: Last Tuesday, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was manhandled and arrested by ICE officials while serving as an advocate in immigration court. Comptroller Lander joined me to discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbY3...

Beyond parody.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

Who did this? 😂

These young Californians have something to say. I hope you’ll listen. “The kids in the Cages” by The Neighborhood Kids @theneighborhoodkidsmusic

#ProudBlue ICE was in Bell, CA today & they weren’t having it. Chaos broke out & some people got away. California is fighting back. The Nazis aren’t welcome here.

Every accusation is a confession

I see a lot of people jumping to conclusions but we really should wait for a detailed report from our non-existent environment, labor, and public safety regulators

When it’s gone, it’s gone. We’ll never get it back. We don’t need this money this way. We can’t undo the environmental damage that will follow. This is a bad idea.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

🤡 now sending the National Guard out nationwide to cause chaos and panic at #NoKings events, with full MAGA GOP complicity. They DON’T want us: 📢 Standing up for our constitution 📢 Protesting having a wannabe dictator LET THAT SINK IN ✊🏽 Anyhoo, find a NK location here: www.nokings.org#map

Not really the point, but I feel like we have a real breakdown of command at the California National Guard and every guard involved in this faces criminal liability because of it.

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

🇬🇪A country once seen as the democratic bright spot of the post-Soviet space is now undergoing the fastest authoritarian regression in modern European history. 🧵Here’s a thread to keep you updated on what’s happening - and why it matters. 1/23

👏 "Walmart Heiress Christy Walton runs ad encouraging NO KINGS DAY protests Christy Walton paid for this full page ad in the NYT on Sunday. And as expected, MAGA world is blowing gaskets, calling for boycotts of Walmart nationwide." 📍Daily Kos: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

"Public opinion, however, isn’t set in stone, which is why it’s important for everyone who has a platform — politicians, veterans, cultural and religious leaders — to denounce the administration’s authoritarian overreach." Thanks, @michellegoldberg.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Democracy is strong and functioning in Minnesota.

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

Crowds at the LA Football Club chanting Fuck ICE! Music to my ears!

I suspect in the days ahead we will hear a large number of people saying publicly what no one has been saying publicly. I suspect everyone reading this knows what I am referring to. A POTUS who falsely accuses Democratic leaders of paying for a military invasion of the United States is a madman.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

Good for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social. He is free now and his legacy is secure. He will be remembered for speaking out and not bending the knee. Also he will make more money now and have a bigger platform and influence. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/b...

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

It is obvious that what we were taught in the military - to stay out of politics - is no longer being taught. In fact, partisan politics openly backing Trump are now being encouraged. Good luck getting a promotion over the next 3.5 years unless you are demonstrably pro-Trump.

Thousands of people marching through Lower Manhattan now demanding ICE get out of New York City.

Unstoppable force loses battle with immovable object: Elon bows to Trump - The Guardian💙✋🌊

In late May, Miller met w/ICE to demand they step up arrests. "Agents didn’t need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, a longstanding practice...Miller bet that he & a handful of agents could go out on the streets of [D.C.] & arrest 30 people right away."
