This detail specifically:

« A reporter from @THECITY had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, “Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?” »

Lest they try to claim ignorance about who he was.

Padilla was just asking a question. See a pattern?

These ICE goons are completely out of control. Arresting US Citizens, elected officials, and terrorizing our communities.

Comptroller Lander was simply asking for the warrant.

Putin Humiliates Trump With Massive Strike That Kills an American. We need a leader as president, not a failed businessman, a con artist, a billionaire game show host, or a felon!

Brad Lander being arrested. One of the men arresting him is wearing a complete face covering.

Boy, they didn't give this guy his ID back, even. 😡

#ICE #fascism

The National Guard members and Marines have carried out exactly one temporary detainment. That’s it. It cost at least $134 million. https://theintercept.com/2025/06/16/la-ice-protests-military-cost/

".,..Agents picking up street vendors without warrants. American citizens being grilled. Home Depot lots swept. Car washes raided. The wide-scale arrests and detainments — often in the region’s largely Latino neighborhoods — contain hallmarks of racial profiling and other due process violations....“We are seeing ICE come into our communities to do indiscriminate mass arrests of immigrants or people who appear to them to be immigrant, largely based on racial profiling,” said Eva Bitran, a lawyer at ACLU of Southern California.

JUST NOW — NEW YORK MAYORAL CANDIDATE BRAD LANDER ARRESTED BY ICE: “You don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking to see a judicial warrant”

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:otnmnkaxchvelzwrifs64rbq/post/3lrsvgpbt3k2v

The suspect in the #shootings, #VanceBoelter, was arrested on Sunday night after a 2-day manhunt. LEOs said Boelter had a manifesto & a list of targets, which included several other #Democratic lawmakers & #PlannedParenthood centers.

Gov #TimWalz has called the shootings “an act of targeted #PoliticalViolence,” though the exact motive for the attack is not yet clear.
[it is]

As of Tues, Walz had reportedly still not heard from #Trump.

When every cabinet secretary is a thoroughly unqualified (but telegenic) hack, and most of the qualified federal employees have been fired by DOUCHE, You can bet the next few emergencies will be devastating for the USA.

@DemocracyMattersALot
Trump applied for 1900 migrants with special apps to work at his properties, MaraTaco, golf hotels, vinyards.

As one would expect...

The Tyrant Test

A leader who uses military force to suppress his political opposition ought to lose the right to govern.

@DemocracyMattersALot Abolish ICE and abolish Department of Homeland Security. They were both created in a knee jerk reaction to 9/11. They are not needed.
In their 2 decades of existence they have made more problems than they have solved.

When people talk about "survival of the fittest" or "the crime of empathy," I want clips like this to be pressed into the sides of those people's self-serving dumbfuck heads until they cave in.

"Dozens of communities have been devastated by windstorms, tornadoes, flooding & wildfires since Jan 20, killing nearly 100 Americans.

Trump🚨hasn't visited a single one.

He has, however, managed 40 days of golf."

We must amplify his lack of empathy for Americans' security, safety, health, wellbeing... He's a soulless, wicked traitor.

The #TrumpRegime has nearly destroyed the social safety net, economy, #SSA, #FEMA, #VA, #HHS incl the #CDC, #FDA...
