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.

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.

Shameful.

www.yahoo.com/news/is-los-... National Guard and Marines? And overriding state rights who's administration has repeatedly requested for a stand down. Where did all the state rights proponents go?

When South Korea's President declared martail law, lawmakers scaled walls to hold him accountable. I think I know what our US Senate majority will do here. They have no red lines. #noredlines

The Supreme Court unanimously revived a lawsuit from a pair of Atlanta residents seeking to hold the federal government accountable after FBI agents mistakenly battered down their front door and held them at gunpoint during a predawn raid of the wrong house.

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

"Just give [unqualified/unproven/inexperienced/conspiracy promoter] a chance to see how it goes before being critical" is not a method or approach to truth discovery and is a very poorly reasoned response. "Giving someone a chance" has categorical limits.

Robert Malone, one of RFK Jr’s ACIP appointees, has claimed: COVID vaccines cause “vaccine-induced AIDS” People were “hypnotized” by “mass formation psychosis” Heavy menstrual bleeding is a miscarriage from vaccines. 1 in 2,000 kids will get brain damage from COVID vaccines. 1/

Crazy world we live in. Rights for a fertilized egg, yet parental rights are being favored to a level that gives abusers extreme power over near adult teens. In summary: The powerful want control over others.

www.marketwatch.com/story/tesla-... Musk says 1 million of these by next year. Said that in 2020. Uber makes $44B on 8M drivers. So $6B per million drivers. Xfer that to TSLA. They made $97B in 2024. $6B is about 6%. Stock is way overpriced. Oh and the taxi rollout is. #TSLA

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

He's trying to kill us all. “Proponents of vaccines have feared Kennedy, who has been openly critical of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, might take such a step, but were still shocked.” apple.news/AvGqZ592LQQi...

real bummer finding out that literally everything was on the honor system this whole time

ICE agents better start reading up on the Nuremberg trials. Because when we get to the other side of this, and we will, "I was just following orders" ain't gonna cut it.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

A reminder tonight: “Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.” Timothy Snyder “On Tyranny”

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... The federal state looking to deploy California national guard, at no request of local government, against the people of California. The fall of the United States into fascism and autocracy continues.

U.S. researchers' fears are coming true: America’s science pipeline is drying up, and countries like China are seizing the opportunity to surge ahead.

I’m glad this made the Times.

“An unforced error of potentially epic proportions” @adamratnermd.bsky.social on RFK Jr’s decision to cancel funding for Moderna’s mRNA bird flu project www.thebulwark.com/p/rkf-jr-ken...

Trump is steering taxpayer funds to Palantir, founded by another South African billionaire Peter Thiel (who bankrolled Vance’s rise), to create a database on us all. Here was Thiel stammering & sweating with Piers👇🏽 Protestors: “They are proud to make a killing off of killing.”

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Happy geek pride day! nationaltoday.com/geek-pride-d... Also towel day. www.towelday.org

America is changing.

Facism in the plain light of day.

The people Republicans are trying to take Medicare benefits from *paid* for those benefits. Republicans may as well be looting from their constituents' savings accounts.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

My statement on the charges filed against me:

A grade 9 prostate tumor IS NOT stage 9 cancer Cancer stages range from I to IV & are used for all cancers. Gleason grades: specific to prostate cancer, range from 6 to 10. They tell us different things. IF anyone confuses them, they have NO business talking about cancer in ANY capacity.

Just a reminder: “Turbo cancer” is *not* a thing. Signed, A scientist who understands cancer immunology

This was the single most powerful moment of last night's town hall with Ro Khanna - when a 6th grader asked "are we safe?" and then ran through a list of her fears, including her grandmother's health and friends with LGBTQ+ family.

WHY DOES SHE HAVE THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL-TIME & I ONLY GET KID ROCK??? WAAAAAHHH!!!!! 😩

hiddenbrain.org/podcast/how-... A great podcast about the illusion of explanatory depth and how it that can impact our ability to listen and learn from others. A large portion includes an interview with a cognitive scientist. Another well done episode of hidden Brain.

I stand with Bruce Springsteen, not a treasonous deranged convicted felon.

Saved the Apollo 13 crew with a piece of cardboard, a plastic dry cleaning bad, and duct tape. 💪🏻🏅🇺🇸

Rest easy Ed.

Robert “Ed” Smylie, the NASA official who saved the Apollo 13 crew in 1970, has died at 95. He cobbled together an apparatus made of cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape after an explosion crippled the spacecraft as it sped toward the moon. nyti.ms/3Sbusb3
