Funny how that works.

Good point.

The impression I get from all the horrible stuff Mike Lee posts and supports is that he’s desperately thirsty to be part of the bullies while maintaining the pretense of being a perpetual victim. It’s a manifestation of extreme self-righteousness: entitled to dish out what he cannot take.

I'm going to say more tomorrow. But it SEEMS 3 things happened today. 1) Great reporting, esp from @gwynnefitz.bsky.social and @hellgatenyc.com, created immediate focus 2) People turned out peacefully 3) DOJ realized it couldn't file a dogshit case w/o bigger blowback than they'll already get

Does anything in this picture say, "federal agents making a lawful arrest?" Perhaps they identified themselves. But when did it go out of fashion for law enforcement to look like law enforcement?

Truth

So good to see.

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.

Horrifying.

Gov. Kathy Hochul says “the charges have been dropped” against Brad Lander.

Shocking. Just shocking.

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/qkRPdnqO

100% correct.

Today Lawfare is launching a new tracker, Alien Enemies Act Proclamation: The State of Play The table, created by @rparloff.bsky.social, is following challenges to deportations occurring under the Alien Enemies Act invocation. Find it here: www.lawfaremedia.org/alienenemiestable

Taking an area where we are clearly #1 and running it into the ground. The stupidity is astounding.

BREAKING: An enormous peaceful protest has broken out in Los Angeles in defiance of Donald Trump’s ICE raids. This is how it’s done.

I’m liking this.

LA Mayor Karen Bass: "Deploying federalized troops on the heels of these raids is a chaotic escalation.    "The fear people are feeling in our city right now is very real … It puts our neighborhoods at risk. This is the last thing that our city needs, and I urge protestors to remain peaceful."

Can’t quite put my finger on it.

This is so wrong.

Today in badassery.

LOL

Seems about right.

Truth

Awful waste of money - for a draft dodger.

Good to see some fighting back.

Hmmmm
