NYC mayoral candidate and state senator Zellnor Myrie is speaking outside 26 Federal Plaza in NYC right now. He says as a lawyer, the legal terminology for Brad Lander’s arrest is “fucking ridiculous”

We've updated our story on Lander's arrest with the latest statements from his fellow candidates in the Democratic mayoral primary, other NYC pols calling for his release, and the Department of Homeland Security. Read it here: hellgatenyc.com/brad-lander-...

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

He did this for the (virtual) G20 in Nov. 2020 to go golfing. He heavily disputed that the reason was to go golfing, but that’s where he went right after. Also dipped out early from the G20 in 2018

Somehow, the mighty conservative foreign policy hawk duo of Ari Fleischer and Hugh Hewitt ended up talking about the LA protests on Hannity, and Eric Trump was the one booked to talk about Iran. I mean, maybe that’s how they drew it up? Or an emergency VIP booking & reshuffle

Stumbled across a 30 for 30 documentary on the Vancouver riots in 2011 (title: “I’m Just Here for the Riot”) and it’s really impressive. Really not at all a movie about hockey, even though the Canucks losing in the Stanley Cup finals that year is what set it all off.
