In our upside-down world, postponed is good—right? Because if they were dismissed, then they would be subject to immediate arrest and deportation once they stepped outside the courtroom door.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

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

It's a sign of the Trump ICE's true evil that the rizzless Alex Padilla and Brad Lander, heretofore deemed mild-mannered to a fault, have gotten this treatment for their totally ordinary behavior.

He was NOT grabbing the federal officer. He had his arm on the man who had just appeared in court.

Arresting a public official for asking questions is dangerous intimidation and sends an unmistakably authoritarian message – that ICE doesn’t care about the rule of law, and that anyone exercising their right to challenge ICE and speak up for immigrants will be punished.

"Moments ahead of Lander’s arrest, THE CITY asked him why he was inside immigration court... rather than out talking to voters. “I don’t think there’s any place that’s more important to be right now than bearing witness and trying to stand up for the rule of law,” Lander said. "

Not only is Brad Lander a US citizen, he is also an elected official (NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate). He is calmly asking to see a judicial warrant, which ICE did not produce, but they handcuffed him anyway.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

This is a great overview of the current administrations proposed cuts to science at the NIH, NSF, and other federal agencies. It's up to all of us to make sure legislators know that anything close to this is unacceptable.

#CDC learned last week of another 5 kids who died from #flu this winter, bringing the total (so far) to a staggering 246 pediatric flu deaths in 2024-25. These deaths occurred between Feb & the end of April. Among the kids with known vaccination status, 90% were unvaxed. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but the Speaker of the House calling for the Governor of California to be tortured seems like it should be a pretty big story.
