Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

Re: Lander being detained by ICE, it’s important also to understand that Lander is, while I wouldn’t say “abolitionist,” extremely anti-carceral and a strong proponent of changes to the carceral system and alternatives to incarceration. He’s probably the most powerful person in NYC with those views.

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.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.
Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.
Their inaction is deadly.

If ICE is arresting a US citizen that is a comptroller and a mayoral candidate, imagine what they are doing to regular people. Fuck ICE!
Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

If you haven't figured it out, Trump is seeking an arctic partnership with Russia, in order for Russia to declare total control of the region and its resources, Canada, Greenland, and Nordic Europe (all in NATO) need to be taken out. Trump's invasion threats make more sense if you piece it together.
Russia has its eyes on the Arctic, as global warming continues to ramp up the natural barrier between Russia and the rest of the free world is rapidly disappearing. This has put Russia in the direct path towards war with Canada and Nordic Europe. #ArcticFront 🧵
