He was obstructing law enforcement by advocating foe the defendant in court. That's what he's accused of. Defending a criminal defendant. For helping the defendant get due process. That's obstruction to a fascist and only a fascist. If they arrest you, that is a declaration of your guilt I their eyes.
Thank you for stating it so plainly. Taking any action you can now is super important.
They're trying to incrementally increase the outright fascist behavior slowly. No one day or action is much of a change from the previous action. It makes it easier for the average American to just go about their life. There's never a "president tears up constitution" moment in the news, just another slightly shitter small thing. They wrote the playbook out in project 2025 so that they can keep ramping it up every day with a prescheduled list of steps to take and no time is wasted.
They have 4 years to try and prevent the next election, and they have a road map.
That's the same reason they have been arresting judges: trying to get people their day in court instead of them being kidnapped by the Gestapo.
Every time I see footage of those disgusting masked gestapo agents, I have thoughts I'm not allowed to share here. 🤔
It's time folks start using that 2nd amendment.
Death to all ICE
As long as it's not Cuomo
Idk Mamdani seems to be doing really well. I do hope they release Lander soon but, I would like Mamdani.
Right! I forgot they do that, I'm still in the fptp mindset.
Don’t rank Cuomo! Giving him any rank could get him elected. That’s how we ended up with Adams.
It's ranked choice and they've both cross nominated each other. I believe Zohran is even sending money Brad's way!
TRUMP SHOULD BE ARRESTED
And his ghoul squad.
Why do none of those cops look or dress like cops??
How is this not at the top of reddt and lemmy.
Political opponents are being detained without warrant
The night of the long swords part two is unfolding.
Worth noting (and mentioned several paragraphs in to the article) he is running for mayor in the democratic primary.
This is completely normal in militarized states. I don't understand why is this event relevant.
Because this dude is running for NYC mayor
