Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 18h
This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

hey ben. the guy in the picture here is an actual person, my friend’s dad, and a spiritual leader of Lakota people, Chief Arvol Looking Horse. not only does he support Indigenous People’s Day, he’s the founder of World Peace and Prayer Day. feels weird to use his image and not his name.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

I mean the media has to be compliant to pull it off but holy shit Trump completely got his Epstein collab out of the newspapers completely without releasing even one exculpatory reason to drop it. There are literal child accusers of Trump in the files and it’s nowhere to be found in media now.

It's too pat to conclude, in essence, "gas prices --> blue wave." The public has tolerated high prices in the past and will again. The key is that this time the onus, the imperiousness, and the indifference are all unusually clear. 🧵 www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...
