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.

Before you do a damn thing anyone on here is suggesting you do, as someone who teaches an entire class in media disinformation, do one thing: look to see of they are click-grifters, or coming from a place of genuine expertise rooted in years of experience. Ask yourself who benefits: you, or them?

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

The Trump administration already grossly overreacted by sending troops to a protest – and now Secretary Noem had Senator Padilla forcibly detained because he asked a question. These alarming displays of undemocratic, authoritarian conduct have gone too far.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple European citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.
