NYC: if you can get to Federal Plaza near the Brooklyn Bridge/City Hall subway stops, come support Brad Lander, the latest Dem politician to be manhandled/detained by ICE for no legal reason. Zohran Mamdani is there in support of his fellow mayoral candidate. NYT's darling Cuomo nowhere in sight.
The current scene outside 26 Federal Plaza where Democratic mayoral candidate and City Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by ICE agents earlier for asking to see a judicial warrant.

The crowd supporting Lander is growing - and includes other elected officials.

Here is Senator Alex Padilla's entire full statement after being detained by Donald Trump and Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security.

Like he said, if they're doing this to a sitting Senator, imagine what they're doing to other people.

Unconscionable.

No one has been returned from CECOT even as we learn more and more about the arbitrary and illegal nature of this operation.

The Republicans continue to stonewall the courts.

Don’t let this story slip from view.

we may need to move away from “this is morally wrong” and focus on “this is a waste of government funds and resources” because we can say “this is bad!” until we’re blue in the face but no one with any power cares about morals at all

finished nancy drew 3 & i think this one is my favorite so far???? the bad guys drive off a cliff & nancy and her dad have to pull them out of a car before it bursts into flames & then they renege their life of crime which feels superfluous when they’re already going to jail. 10/10 #booksky

begging publishers from the bottom of my heart to stop marketing every book as “the next gone girl” so that i don’t have to wade through insipid 1-star reviews of great books because they “aren’t like gone girl at all”
