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.

These ICE goons are completely out of control. Arresting US Citizens, elected officials, and terrorizing our communities. Comptroller Lander was simply asking for the warrant.

Either the Director of National Intelligence lied in her testimony before Congress, or Trump is lying now. It is that simple. Will any Republicans in Congress say a word? Nope. Will media splash huge stories about it and lead with it? Nope. Just another day in Trump’s America.

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran. Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

When asked in 2024 if mass deportations would harm Florida's agricultural industry, a farmer-legislator confidently said Trump wouldn't actually engage in an indiscriminate mass deportation program. Even if that did happen, he said, there will always be a supply of H-2A workers. (Pub. Oct. 2024)

As @mattpolprof.bsky.social points out in this thread, a core problem with MAGA is it promises widespread well being to the in-group, but its insistence on making everything zero-sum at all times actually undermines that in-group's prosperity (though the pleasures of hate might suffice):

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes Hope that helps

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

I don't think we will be able to successfully work the refs - the refs have been bought off already - but calling attention to this is valuable in convincing people on our side to look around and reevaluate who in the corporate media they can trust

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!
