So, "My Country Tis of Thee" dates to 1831. I am trying to understand if they keep playing it because the filmmakers know we will recognized it, or is this a subversive play on "God Save the King?" #HATM

The one thing that’s really bothering me is I can’t tell if that one background song is My Country Tis Of Thee or God Save The Queen. @kenlburns.bsky.social please let me know! #PBS #AnericanRevolution #HATM

I think the tarring and feathering scene in HBO's John Adams series does a good job with representing the public violence in places like Boston in the years leading up to independence. #KenBurns #HATM www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMeB...

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.
