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.

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.

There’s something extra disturbing about these stories because it’s never that the other students are upset or express outrage. The other kids know and agree and cheer, and then it’s the responsible adults that take it upon themselves to say “you promised not to bring up the murdered children”

I know there's a lot going on, but this report on the way Bill C-2 would allow Canada to access and share your personal information without judicial oversight is well worth a read. citizenlab.ca/2025/06/a-pr...

The problem isn’t just who’s in power — it’s first-past-the-post that lets any PM or Premier concentrate power with 40% of the vote. Proportional representation is how we stop this cycle and build real checks and balances. www.fairvote.ca/12/06/2025/f...

“A society still conducting this kind of manmade technological violence after many decades of knowing exactly the suffering it causes to innocent people must believe in these weapons much more than in life itself.”

if the puzzle and food teams could somehow go independent we might finally see the end of this spineless, detestable rag

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

I need folks to know that this isn't a real thing. Economic conservatism is fundamentally opposed to social liberalism. You can't reinforce capitalism and move wealth toward the wealthy while also pursuing social justice and equality

In surprised Fox News isn’t reporting this as “hero cop saves Minnesota from communism”

I know one thing. If I were a young blonde, white woman, and a police officer shot me ON CAMERA, my settlement would be large enough to have its own itemized line on LA's yearly budget.

It's possible that Grammarly has lost it's damn freaking mind. #writing #writingcommunity #booksky

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

Trump thinks you defeat the left with violence, but really you do it by getting them arguing about the precise definition of ableism

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

BREAKING: Israeli attacks have killed at least 22 Palestinians in Gaza today, medical sources have told our team on the ground. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/88pw3j

I the first really massive disappointment of the Carney government, they have announced the “Strong Borders Act” aka “The Most Fascist Act Canada Has Seen In Decades”. What an awful piece of legislation, decimates the privacy rights of Canadians and slashes at the ankles of immigration.

So… Abrego Garcia… still down there huh?

rfk jr really did a "chatGPT lawyer" thing with his maha report? we truly are not gonna make it

Loosing a debate so hard you deny your faith is hilarious, call this “The Denial of Peterson”

The gerontocracy has consequences, episode one million and three.

B.C. has launched a special committee on electoral reform. Twenty years ago, the BC Citizens’ Assembly made a bold recommendation. Antony Hodgson explains. #bcpoli
