An ICE officer said, "I don't need a warrant." Things are escalating. We may end up striking simply because we all fear going out. Soon, they will get anyone off the streets for "harboring" people. The ones they released didn't get their phones back. Glendale, CA.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg—who famously forced women to sign NDAs to prevent them from disclosing sexual abuse and harassment—just donated $5,000,000 to 11X credibly accused sexual abuser Andrew Cuomo, all in a desperate bid to prevent Mamdani from winning. This is what corruption looks like.

@bradlander.bsky.social: Trump "is trying to destroy our empathy. That's what authoritarians do... We've got that Statue of Liberty out in the harbor saying, send me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.... That's what New York City is built on. That's why I love it. And he hates it."

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

I must have missed the part of the Letter from a Birmingham Jail where Martin Luther King Jr. explains that since white moderates aren't ready yet for integration and equality, the fight for civil rights is lost and we need to wait for them to catch up so as to spare their feelings.

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.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

Exxon Mobil is the largest private oil company in the world and it produces less than 4% of the world’s oil. It is quite hard for me to remember that most of the world’s oil is drilled, not by companies, but by countries.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Iran's leadership is terrible but that doesn't excuse Israel being belligerent and unilaterally striking Iran before a planned talk to negotiate with the U.S. Netanyahu has been itching for a war for nearly 25 years. Also, doesnt Iran or any country have a right to respond to a strike?

Yes, the Iranian regime is bad. But we are not doing this because the Iranian regime is bad. We're doing this because the Netanyahu regime is an expanisionist fascist enterprise and a client state of American imperialism. We literally do not care about the Iranian people. That's the problem.

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."
