This summer, when grocery prices spike and there is little produce to be had, you will mark this as the breaking point in our food supply chain. Trump is a front man. You will have Stephen Miller & his monomania about immigrants to blame for this. Miller argued the felon out of his policy change.

ICE arresting the NYPD is introducing deep quantum uncertainty into the Cool Zone

Not good enough. He needs to resign or be expelled.

This is precisely what happened with Ras Baraka. He left Delaney Hall. The goons went back inside. Said, let's arrest him. And that's what led to a similar scene. That was was dismissed but they used it to trump up a case against LaMonica McIver.

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

Impromptu presser outside 26 Federal Plaza as elected officials gather, calling for Lander's release.

Back in February, Emil Bove claimed that Eric Adams even facing prosecution amounted to election interference in the NYC Mayoral primary. And then, today, Kristi Noem's goons detained Brad Lander DURING the election. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/17/k...

"Mehdi Hasan, Zeteo founder and Guardian contributor, shared Mamdani’s sentiment, writing on X: “Yet another elected Democratic official violently arrested and detained by Trump’s ICE Gestapo. This isn’t frog in boiling water. This fascism is happening quickly, clearly, brazenly.” "

It's evident that ICE is under orders to arrest anyone who "interferes" with them, and *asking questions* is considered to be interference. As Lander says here, "You don't have the authority to arrest someone asking to see a warrant." That's right. They don't. More lawlessness from DHS thugs.

In honor of the special occasion, I have a blog post ready: All About the Tenth Amendment. (No, really, it IS all about the Tenth Amendment) The history of the Tenth Amendment explains (almost) everything happening in American politics and government today. terikanefield.com/its-all-abou...

the fact that armed, formally fascist party paramilitaries provide official security for the Oregon Republican Party has gone completely unremarked

Terry Moran should be an inspiration to young journalists everywhere. This is how you do it

I wish Terry all the best as independant journalist. Recall that he's the one who pushed back on Trump's claim that Abrego Garcia had "MS-13 as clear as day on his hands". Moran pointed out the letters were photoshopped. Trump couldn't let it go. Moran advocated reality in the face of felon's bs.

HERO: Fired ABC News journalist stands by his post criticizing Trump and adviser. Terry Moran was effectively dismissed from the network after accurately calling Stephen Miller and Trump ‘world-class’ haters www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

Textbook example of "false equivalency". These two things are not alike--but the radical right and Faux News would have you think they are.

This is what a life of purpose looks like. 🙌💪👏👊👇

Selective outrage is when the right only reacts to violence if it fits their narrative. When the killer is one of their own, they go silent. That silence is complicity and it’s why our children have become victims of homegrown terrorism.👇

The SAVE ACT suppresses the votes of married women. The GOP veils this horrific bill saying it prevents non-citizens from voting. That’s a lie. Non-citizens are already barred from voting. This bill is intended to strip away a married woman’s rights. #Pinks #OneV1 ⬇️ www.forbes.com/sites/hollyc...

“Others in the chat wrote that corruption didn’t matter to them, outside of how Democrats could use it as a political tool.” The democrats are planning on selling us out to the fascists for crypto.

"Long COVID in kids may have now surpassed asthma as the leading paediatric chronic illness." <----why are we sleep-walking through this?

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? In general, it takes about 1000 years to form 1cm of new soil.

And I find it incredibly ironic that Janet Napolitano's 2010 DHS report identified right-wing extremist violence as the greatest growing threat for domestic terrorism--and the GOP screamed bloody murder about that, and made DHS rescind the report. Seems like it's holding up pretty good after all.

Good for them.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks 🛑 STOP the SAVE ACT. Make those phone 📞 calls to your Senators and tell them to vote AGAINST this bill. STOP voter suppression‼️

The most common reason people get rid of their pets at shelters isn't because they're terrible evil people, it's because of housing insecurity. This is the real reason animal shelters were empty during COVID; the temporary moratorium on evictions & foreclosures, plus pandemic unemployment payments.

Wow! 😮 That's wild! And so Squee cute!!!! ❤️

This talk with Erica Chenoweth (click through for link) is *really* worthwhile to listen to. She's the political scientist who found that no authoritarian regime has stayed in power after 3.5% of the population became mobilized against it. Great conversation on this pod.

When Bozo started targeting law firms with EOs, I immediately thought, "Where's the ABA on this? I hope they do somethng." Well, they finally did. They're suing to get this entire line of attack permanently shut down as unconstitutional. "Our Constitution does not vest the Executive Branch with

Any Demographers care to chime in on this? I'm not one, but as a social scientist, I'm highly skeptical of the arguments here, especially given what we know abt socioeconomic conditions that impact family/life decisions & the lack of success of pro-birth policies. But maybe I'm missing something?🤷🏼 🛟

Diese Deutlichkeit ist dringend nötig.

Righteous screed.
