CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Earlier Trump refused to transfer 20,000 missiles to Ukraine to fight the Shahed drones raining down on civilians. The United States and Ukraine had already agreed on the transfer when Trump decided to skirt the deal after his conversation with Putin. These scenes are Trump and Putin's fault.

🚨Secret police! Do you accept secret police? My family fled from Argentina where secret police jailed my grandfather & killed my dad's best friend's father as well as about 30,000 other Argentinians. When people conceal their identities, no one's safe! Anyone could be taken, even me and you.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

The NYPD has suddenly called in “SRG”, a unit with frequent police misconduct and violence. Anti-ICE protesters have been chanting the entire duration of the protest. A few arguments but peaceful. Seems Eric Adams need the protest shutdown.
