Lander is being release now from DHS/ICE custody now.

It is extraordinarily weird watching him conveying a single, cohesive thought for more than five seconds here. It really does show you that, while his heart as always been several shades deeper than vantablack, there's something medically wrong with his brain at this point.

Mike Lee Stresses He Would Have Posted Same Thing If Own Family Savagely Murdered

Spokesperson for Gov. Walz: "Governor Walz wishes that President Trump would be a President for all Americans, but this tragedy isn't about Trump or Walz. It's about the Hortman family, the Hoffman family, and the State of Minnesota, and the Governor remains focused on helping all three heal."

NEW—After an innocent protester was shot and killed at the Salt Lake City No Kings protest by a “safety volunteer,” @utah50501.bsky.social says they hired team of them based on “military, first responder, other relevant de-escalation experience.” Volunteer who fired gun was a vet. Full statement:

"A reporter from @thecity.nyc had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, 'Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?'"

The scientist responsible for overseeing the CDC team that collects data on Covid and RSV hospitalizations resigned on Monday.

At this point, whether they are acting within the confines of the law or not, it should be absolutely clear that ICE agents are stormtroopers for a fascist government. At least ICE--and perhaps DHS broadly--needs to be abolished, its employees need to be on no-hire lists for the federal government.

coincidentally, the first politicians arrested by ICE were a Black mayor, a Latino senator, and a Jewish city comptroller. meanwhile they leave it to their self-deputized vigilantes to assassinate the Catholic legislators

Remember when Noem said they were going to liberate cities from their elected officials?

Some background on Brad Lander’s arrest today by ICE agents at immigration court.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

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.

Masked federal agents just illegally arrested New York City’s elected Comptroller. Outrageous. The Trump Administration went after Brad Lander for asking this simple question: “Do you have a warrant?” By asking this question, Brad was standing up for the basic rights of all Americans.

One of our leading citywide elected leaders and candidates for mayor peacefully asks masked ICE agents to see a warrant and is violently arrested. Horrifying and disturbing for what it is and what it represents. Fascism. www.amny.com/news/brad-la...

Compared to the reigning omicron variants JN.1 and LP.8.1, the NB.1.8.1 variant has a few mutations that could help it bind to human cells more easily and evade some protective immune responses.

This is some apocalyptic cult bullshit and is gonna get a lot of people killed.

Yeah so, some of these people are genuinely in an apocalyptic cult that sincerely wants to bring about the end of this world. Some of them (Trump) are just ignorant monsters who exist from moment to moment to serve themselves, but some of them are literally high on End of Days shit.

it is genuinely insane that we have just kind of acclimated to the fact that we have masked secret police now

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Israel bombs Isfahan, Iran's largest Jewish community. Is this still to keep Jews safe?

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:  -Sinking poll numbers -A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill -Harmful trade wars  -Unleashing the military on American soil -Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism We must remain on high alert.

Iran btw is one of the only countries in West Asia who still has their Jewish community near enough intact because the Iranian government refused to let Israel and Mossad mess with its Jewish population. Iranian Jews are some of the oldest in terms of culture in the world.

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.

NYC comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander was just arrested at immigration court for asking to see warrants on behalf of those being detained:

The regime has now arrested, handcuffed/decked: • Judge • Member of Congress • US Senator • Mayoral Candidate/city official of NYC/ A Trump supporter just assassinated a Dem leader in MN. And Sen. Dems are about to vote w/ Republicans to give Trump a gift on crypto - as early as maybe today.

What the fuck.

“We” are fighting a foreign war with zero consultation with or authorization from Congress, and no address to the nation other than Truth Social posts.

JFC this jackass really is going to get us into World War III

"Iran doesn't have nukes. Israel does. Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Israel isn't. Israel has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country. Israel doesn't." But Israel is the victim? My video for Zeteo on how the media's coverage of this crisis is abysmal & ridiculously biased. zeteo.com/subscribe

Left: Keir Starmer says we don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons Right: Former British Ambassador to Iran Sir Richard John Dalton says that Iran was not on the brink of getting a nuclear weapon Why does this sound like the rhetoric leading up to the Gulf War?

Tulsi Gabbard in 2019: “Trump seems determined to go to war with Iran”

Former British Ambassador to Iran Sir Richard John Dalton says that Iran was not on the brink of getting a nuclear weapon "Iran has not taken a decision to develop nuclear weapons" "We should disbelieve Netanyahu's claims unless there is evidence, and I don't believe that evidence exists:

Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator. The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

AOC says she’s joining Republican Rep. Massie in prohibiting 🇺🇸 involvement in Israel’s war with Iran

Are we going to do another “searching for WMDs” cycle?

I straight up thought "Could somebody please tell the Democrats that using the lost seeing stones is dangerous because we don't know who else might be watching."

This is so bad and so weak.

Essentially levying economic sanctions to punish states that respect their residents’ constitutional rights.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
