🚨NY-17 social worker forcibly dragged out of Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall. Afterwards, Lawler told the crowd to "behave." Elected officials are supposed to listen to their constituents—not silence and remove them. This is not democracy.

New York State Troopers physically remove a constituent from Mike Lawler's town hall. These officers work for the state and not for the Lawler campaign. An investigation is warranted. @governor.ny.gov @senatorharckham.bsky.social @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social

New @motherjones.com: Meet the 64-Year-Old Social Worker Who Was Booted From A Republican Town Hall @emilyjaynef.bsky.social 's offense? Asking Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) what it would take for him to stand up to Trump. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Wondering why Emily Feiner was dragged out of Mike Lawler’s town hall by NY State Troopers? She had the *audacity* to ask, “What’s your red line? When will you defend the Constitution you swore to uphold?” One question & she’s accosted. Free speech? Not under Lawler. @emilyjaynef.bsky.social

Video shows the moment a woman is carried out of a raucous town hall for Rep. Mike Lawler.

This is what happens at a Mike Lawler town hall when constituents ask him questions. Truly appalling and one more reason I will wake up tomorrow more energized than ever to defeat him next November.

I wonder if Republican House Rep. Mike Lawler is gonna talk about how he couldn’t handle a couple of older ladies asking questions at his town hall and had them forcibly removed?

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

Would-be governor, would-be moderate Republican Mike Lawler can't answer questions, has questioner, social worker @emilyjaynef.bsky.social, forcibly removed as constituents shout "Shame! Shame! Shame!"

Seems like Mike Lawler had a whole police dept there to physically eject people from his town hall.

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NEW: A SECOND story was released today of a Venezuelan man disappeared by the Trump admin. Neiyerver Leon is a barber who entered legally seeking asylum in June 2023. ICE arrested him on March 13 and accused him of being in TdA. Days later, he vanished off the face of the earth.

See you on the streets, David Brooks! #MayDay

any Democratic elected who says they can't win the politics of "should we give Trump the power to disappear innocent people into a concentration camp" has a terminal case of consultant brain and should be ruthlessly hounded from office

David Brooks get your sign and join us for May Day challenge
