Midwestern dude. Liberal.

I love cars. Especially domestic classics. I've owned Monte Carlos, Cutlass, Wildcat, and currently own a 62 Buick Invicta convertible.

This is 100% intimidation and unlawful.
Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

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.

Workers are not asking to get rich. They just want to afford three meals a day.

In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should work for starvation wages.

It is time to raise the disgraceful $7.25/hr federal minimum wage to a living wage of AT LEAST $17/hr.

Israeli settlers, backed by the Israeli military, are violently attacking Bedouin farmers in the Jordan Valley.

Their goal is clear: to drive Palestinians off their land and steal it. These attacks show Israel’s total disregard for Palestinian life.

This is the end game. His version of sending someone to a Siberian labor camp.
Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?
