The federal officer who arrested Newark Mayor Ras Baraka outside an immigration detention center in May suggested that he was following the direction of the DOJ's No. 2 official, Todd Blanche, according to bodycam footage.
‘We are arresting the mayor right now, per the deputy attorney general’
An account of bodycam footage, submitted in a recent court filling, provides new detail about a confrontation outside a New Jersey immigration facility.

If you ever wondered what rationale Hitler used to justify the atrocities in Nazi Germany, wonder no more.

Trump is using the same lies & propaganda to defend his merciless cruelty towards fellow human beings.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

They are scared of what they can’t tame or understand.

Keep them afraid. Be loud. Be defiant. Be secure in your thoughts. It’s time to squabble up.

popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Why would anyone want to block a law such as this?

I think we need to ask ourselves what is in it for those trying to block this law? What are they afraid of?

Turns out this regime is filled with pedophiles and those who protect them.

This is the perfect example of what Democrats need to do when confronted with lies and misrepresentation. Yes, it takes time, but ignoring it allows it to grow.

People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.

Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.

He cried on the phone and still Jordan hasn’t had any consequences.
