These assaults, handcuffing and detention of elected officials are purposeful. They are intended to communicate that no one is safe and we should be silent. The are telling all of us that if we oppose their actions, we should know they're unfettered by the rule of law & feel free to assault anyone.
WATCH: NYC comptroller Brad Lander says he sat in a detention room for 3.5 hours without hearing a word about why he was arrested.
"They knew who I was. There's no doubt they knew I was the comptroller."

Setting aside the abhorent humanitarian crimes for a moment -- has Iraq been so memory holed that people in power seriously forget what a freaking disaster it was for *the US*?? Does no asshat pol remember the farce of "Mission Accomplished" and then the endless stream of US casualties and amputees?

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy.
Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping.
None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

Energy matters in politics. It especially matters for Trump. Today, all the energy was with the pro-democracy team. Republicans in Congress should be very worried.

At the core of MAGA is a deep insecurity about one’s own manhood and sexuality. That’s why all the muscle displays, military cosplaying and school yard bullying.

Has he even bothered to read the Declaration of Independence? Our country was formed as a direct reaction to a tyrannical regime. Our laws (the constitution) and the Bill of Rights written specifically to avoid the rise of another monarch. We became great because we created a govt. of the people.
The neo-reactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin’s call for a monarch to rule America once seemed like a joke. Not anymore.

The general public does not fully grasp everything that the federal government does, and many are experiencing a very harsh awakening. It’s just sad, and it really doesn’t have to be this way.

Marth Stewart went to prison for insider trading on *one* stock.
Marjorie Taylor Greene bought *17* stocks just before Donald Trump declared his "pause" in tariffs that caused those stocks to rise in value.
How many others were tipped off? How many stocks did Donald buy? Ivanka? Mike Johnson?

This is a sickening betrayal to the Afghan allies who worked with the United States and fought alongside our troops. Our country owes them—but instead, Trump will make it easier to send them back to Taliban persecution.
