if only our modern would-be Pharaohs would embrace tradition and start drinking arsenic and mercury
Immortality is a child's answer to death anxiety, not a real thing with which humanity will ever have to contend. No king's alchemist ever granted him eternal life, and it isn't going to start happening now just because of Computer.

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️

What local phenomenon emblematizes US politics more perfectly than “White Long Islander’s opinions about New York City?”
I'm sorry, but why is any network giving Laura Gillen any air time on the NYC mayoral race? Her district is fully in Nassau County. She does not represent NYC.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

There is certainly something to be said about how these feds appear *extra* disorganized and that thing is: they are weaker than they want to appear. DHS/HSI is sending out recently deputized cops with limited street experience. You can come to your own conclusions about whether that's good or bad.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE

If we had a functional press the insanity of this would be a week long news cycle all by itself
Trump just shared this alarming text from Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee, effusively praising him while telling him that no president has been in his position "since Truman in 1945" (when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan) & that he "will hear a voice from heaven" telling him what to do.

Dozens upon dozens of NYPD undercover and regular vehicles begin to arrive suddenly.
It’s clear Eric Adams and the NYPD are putting on a show of force to intimidate protesters as they gather and chant for Palestine/against ICE.
Cops are inching closer and closer to the crowd

So far today the only ones not being peaceful are the NYPD
NYPD just rushed the anti-ICE/Palestine crowd over not being on the sidewalk.
Some officers are seen being delighted as they push back the crowd and provoking confrontations. Two arrests so far, press being targeted also.
