NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

The whole idea behind tariffs, seizing federal records, and strangling federal grants is to create an economy based on “loyalty.” It’s classical oligarchic behavior

What a contrast to the cowardly Catholic Cardinal Dolan
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
