With Trump’s authoritarianism at our doorstep and billionaire greed in our backyard, we need someone who won't let AIPAC, real estate developers, & corporate PACs dictate how hard we fight back.
Today, I'm launching my campaign for Congress in #NY13 with @justicedems support!

The answer is boycott as @nickocchiuto.bsky.social and I argued months ago when the Trump admin gloated about ICE agents at the Club World Cup to a cheesing Infantino.

I want to hear more things like this. Who are the lawyers who can offer tangible ways that people can fight back?
The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

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.

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.

Latest in the Guardian with @nickocchiuto.bsky.social argues that the Club World Cup tournament has given Trump a platform for his authoritarianism, with full endorsement of FIFA. We must answer by boycotting the World Cup matches to be held in the US next year.

This isn’t a picture of a canvassing event. It’s Saturday’s field lead training.
Each of these organizers will now launch their own neighborhood canvasses across New York City in the days and weeks to come.
That’s how big our volunteer operation is.
