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.

The Trump Organization just posted 31 jobs for foreign workers at his Virginia winery at the same time he’s bragging about driving them out. You really think this is about immigration? It’s just another fucking con. #NoKings www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Either the Director of National Intelligence lied in her testimony before Congress, or Trump is lying now. It is that simple. Will any Republicans in Congress say a word? Nope. Will media splash huge stories about it and lead with it? Nope. Just another day in Trump’s America.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine. If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

This woman works on a farm that's being raided by ICE. Her fear is palpable. She just begs people who see her post to tell others what is happening so maybe she can find her kids if they are also taken. This is inhumane and cruel, especially without due process.

I hope US folks on the No Kings rallies know how much people outside the US are heartened to see them. We always knew the US is full of very fine people who totally reject and revile what's happening, but my god it's good to see it.

1/5 🔥 In both 2023 and 2024, every single extremist murder in the U.S. was committed by right-wing extremists, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and hate-fueled ideologues. Not “both sides.” Not “Antifa.” Just the violent far-right. The data is in. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

This magnificent documentary and all the many photos show that neither the narrative that people hate each other is true, nor that technology will solve everything. It is the encounter – which sometimes begins with an ‘against,’ but stands for a big ‘for.’ Thank you to everyone on the streets. 😘
