'Hell is Empty and All the Devils are Here.'

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

The only appropriate response to what Trump is doing is impeachment and removal from office. Elected officials who are not working toward this goal with urgency are helping to destroy the constitution and the rule of law.

I’m surprised he decided go to war on a second country. You’d think destroying America would be enough.

are the Iranian people throwing flowers and hailing us as liberators yet

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

No one on Earth anywhere should have a single nuclear weapon, including us.

It's unclear to me why the US Congressmen are not escorted by big armed cops to push through obstacles to them exercising their legal rights, and instead everyone now defers to the guys with no uniforms or badges or name tags to determine what is and is not legal?

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.

We're in serious trouble

While Brad was released, the two immigrants he accompanied remain behind bars. Every day, ICE kidnaps over a thousand people. Every night, protestors gather outside this same courthouse to demand we free them all. It's on us to keep the pressure up and fight for their safe release

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state. We can't let them jam this through in secret. Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

I am not afraid of Donald Trump. I am not afraid of Tom Homan. I will stand up for the people of Illinois.

A senior DHS official briefed the far-right Election Integrity Network on using a federal database to check voter citizenship. The group, founded by Cleta Mitchell, has pushed voter suppression efforts since the 2020 election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The demand in the actual letter here is so vague and elliptical because the whole premise makes no sense. The party has no power to do this, there's absolutely nothing they can do to "ban" independent expenditures in Dem primaries. That's not how anything works.

Today I’m leading 152 House Democrats in challenging Trump's devastating cuts to life-saving NIH research grants. Congress—not Trump—controls federal spending. Trump must do his job, “faithfully execute” the laws and stop violating the Constitution to undercut public health.

Here's your lede: "In the latest indication of an incipient police state...."

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is VERY unpopular. No surprise when it kicks MILLIONS off of health care and food assistance to pay for tax giveaways for billionaires. Republicans are trying to ram it through by July 4th. NOW is the moment to fight back. Call your senator.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Arresting Comptroller Lander is despicable and another example of Trump weaponizing law enforcement to attack political enemies rather than focusing on public safety. DHS is flat-out lying in its statement. In the video, Comptroller Lander plainly does not lay a hand on anyone.

Lander says he's fine, lost a button in the scuffle earlier. "I will be fine but Edgardo will not be fine," he says of man taken by ICE when he was detained. Lander says he has not been charged at this point.

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

What I'm thinking. It's a chaotic tenuous control, a fascism with no face

"It's bullshit," Gov. Hochul says of the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander by ICE. She says she will call him when he's out of detention. "But what about all the people who don't have that high profile position?"

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

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

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.

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1

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.

Working people need health care more than billionaires need tax cuts. But now, the Senate is proposing MORE Medicaid cuts in their budget bill. That's why 64% of Americans don't support this budget. Tell your senators: no cuts that hurt working families!

Parnas: He sends the Marines into American cities not to protect us, folks, but to silence us. He ignores court orders like they’re optional. He surrounds himself with loyalists who exist solely to carry out his will. This is a leadership style that’s called authoritarianism.

We had a good turnout on Saturday. BIGGEST PROTEST IN NYC HISTORY 200,000+ Shot by Rise and Resister HawkEye

Judge Hannah Dugan, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Sen. Alex Padilla, and now Brad Lander. The Trump administration keeps detaining and prosecuting elected officials who get in its way. This is the timeline of authoritarianism.

NYC mayoral candidate and state senator Zellnor Myrie is speaking outside 26 Federal Plaza in NYC right now. He says as a lawyer, the legal terminology for Brad Lander’s arrest is “fucking ridiculous”

“Free Brad Lander” is the chant outside where NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested a few hours ago, accompanying someone to an immigration hearing. Both Brad & the immigrant he accompanied were arrested. Rabbi Ellen Lippmann spoke at an emergency press conference. More: @jfrejnyc.bsky.social‬

Fear and chaos. We are not afraid!

Take off your masks you cowards

Seeing Brad Lander, NYC's comptroller and a mayoral candidate (also my former neighbor and city councilman) violently arrested by trump's immigration gestapo is making me sick to my stomach.

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.

They’re cranking up the propaganda machine again: claiming Brad Lander “unlawfully interfered” and that ICE is just “enforcing Trump’s policy.” Reality: Lander stood up for civil rights. ICE’s conduct reflects a deeply troubling use of federal power.

Brad Lander--comptroller of the city of New York, and one of the leading mayoral candidates--has just been arrested by masked federal thugs. @bradlander.bsky.social www.amny.com/news/brad-la...
