Yeah...I'm f*cking pissed. Qatar is building its own facility inside a U.S. Air Force base. What could possibly go wrong? Tonight, give you clear answers to that question. 😡👇

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Curious about what @yrfatfriend.bsky.social thinks about the final product of #TheBiggestLoser doc series on Netflix. I was super disappointed. It centered old tropes abt the harm of "obsesity" + far too much on producers/Bob Harper/etc, making them look sympathetic vs the real harm of it.

It’s not tone deaf in the sense they don’t see what people want. It’s on purpose. They’re complicit.

“You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.”
American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran
The United States is well down the road to dictatorship. Imagine what Trump would do with a state of war.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE
Brad Lander is shown being detained by federal agents in a courthouse. Lander wears a dark blue suit, blue shirt and blue striped tie. The agents wear sweatshirts and blue jeans.

"When federal agents moved to detain the immigrant in the hallway outside the courtroom, Lander asked for a judicial warrant. The agents refused to produce one and put him into custody."

This is all kinds of screwed up.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."

That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Whatever happens in the coming days/weeks, just remember that these sociopaths claimed up and down they’d never drag America into another war.
