That's the definition of a dictatorship

Trump administration has crossed a line, there is no law and order anymore. And when you cross that line, you enter what can only be called mob rule.

There’s always a tweet.

Trump’s Judicial Nominees Can’t Say Whether Jan. 6 Happened. Where Are the Democrats? https://twp.ai/4ioVHh

the difference between today and 1860 is that instead of electing a Lincoln today, America opted to go with a pro-slavery John Breckenridge type. And as we face a mounting civil war, the occupant of the White House today is representing the Confederacy.

1/10 Conservatives have a strategy: discourage, divide, and demoralize the public so they can cling to power. It’s not chaos, it’s by design. They want you to check out. Here’s their step-by-step playbook. Know it, name it, fight it. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Mike Lee knew exactly what poison lies he was spreading about the murders in Minnesota and he should resign in disgrace www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

Fuck no.

In his own words, with this madman. we are aiming towards WW3.. especially after his nuclear threats to Iran

I'm old enough to remember Republicans blasting President Biden for leaving people in Afghanistan after Trump messed it up while now they're deporting them to be killed…

Oh, tell us more fucktwat

MPs have voted to decriminalise abortion in ENGLAND and WALES… A win for women’s rights…. Now they need to decriminalise weed prosecuting someone for selling a plant is insane…. #OURBODYOURCHOICE

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.

Hard to overstate the degree to which there appears to be literally no one in the president's current circle who has any experience, even at a low level, managing ANY kind of national security crisis or even situation. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/thoug...

In America in 2025, this is what happens to an elected official if they ask to see a warrant. (📸 Dean Moses, AMNY)

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

The law is clear: Members of Congress have explicit legal authority to conduct oversight of federal detention facilities, without notice or approval. Yet, when my colleagues have attempted to peacefully enter ICE facilities, they’ve been denied entry – a direct violation of federal law.

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.” Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.

ICE is driving through the inner city now in military tanks to kidnap children off the streets and @governor.ca.gov thinks his lawsuit is enough

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.

This has got to stop! Trump is going after political candidates. Lander is running in the Mayoral Race in New York.

they're getting super comfortable arresting elected officials

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

#MomSky Republicans need to stop their obsession with culture wars and help protect our children. Gun violence thrives in ignorance.

Only if you get rid of Trump and his enablers.

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

News correspondent on tv just said Trump can't attack I ran without Congress voting for it - I think she doesn't understand how dictatorships work.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

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.

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani, another mayor candidate who has cross endorsed Lander, speaks to crowd.

Masked men who claim to be ICE agents detain people. When bystanders demand their identifications, they are ignored. Why are ICE agents covering their faces and hiding their identities when they are working on behalf of the government?

There were two MAGA terrorist attacks on Saturday—but corporate media refuses to call them that! Worse, corporate media "both sides" political violence when only Trump incites, defends and celebrates violence that serves his agenda. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/there-were...

The Tyrant Test‼️ A leader who uses military force to suppress his political opposition ought to lose the right to govern. By - Adam Serwer @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens who are asking to see a judicial warrant." NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander being arrested *along with a member of his NYPD security team* by ICE.

Stephen Miller is a racist & fascist eager to take the administration down a dark path of mass deportations without due process. He’s trump’s playbook author feeding hate & stoking fear against working Americans. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Trump now threatening to assassinate the leader of a sovereign nation. Leader of the free world eh? FFS.

Hey, Mike. As someone whose wife barely survived an assassination attempt, let me tell you: Your joke isn't funny and you have an entire state to apologize to.

Sen Mike Lee & the silence from Republicans made it clear: decency is in the rearview mirror. After he mocked a political assassination, Ed Shelleby, a senior staffer to Sen Tina Smith, wrote to Lee’s top staffers. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com read it on-air, and honestly everyone should hear it.

After the Felon praised Putin at the G7, criticized Trudeau and Democrats, then confused the UK with the EU, his staff decided to bring the bumbling fool home under the pretense of a Middle East situation. He doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing. #ProudBlue
