Mike Lawler forcibly removes Naomi Campbell from Met Gala.
I was certainly no threat. I asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didnβt answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed. This is what the ISA has come to. The constitution is in shreds.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted βlet her stayβ and βshame, shame.β
Sheβs a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.
Lawler: βI want to hear from my community.β
Also Lawler: βGet these people the hell out of here.β #NY17

Ah yes, the old "turning aid into a personal favor" move. It's almost like it was never about generosity, but control. π€ Anyway, shoutout to the women who clocked it in 0.2 seconds. ππΎπ«
Don't catch these π§€!
Being an outspoken woman right now means my confidence is a threat, my expertise is questioned, and my silence is the only thing they welcome. Speak up, and Iβm a problem. Push back, and Iβm aggressive. But with our rights under attack, silence isnβt survival, itβs complicity. And I wonβt comply.
The hype around the White Lotus premiere is the closest thing to national unity weβve had in years. Rich people spiraling in paradise is our shared language. β₯οΈπ΄πΊπ²
π¨ The Age of Unenlightenment π¨
Galileo had the Vatican. Scientists today have the National Science Foundationβs forbidden words list. Progress is being redacted in real-time.
They want silence. We choose defiance.
Did Congress just hand over its power? π€
Elon Musk walked into the Oval Office and started making budget decisions. No hearings, no votes, no congressional oversight. π¨
If lawmakers are fine with that, then who exactly is governing? ποΈπ° @repmikelawler.bsky.social
Itβs a beautiful con job. And half the countryβs falling for it like a drunk guy on black ice.
And if you call it out, youβre the radical.
Itβs all theater, folks. Bad theater. A bunch of hypocrites throwing a culture war tantrum so you donβt notice theyβre picking your pocket.
But nopeβnothing says βsmall governmentβ like a government big enough to crawl into your identity, inspect it, reject it, and kick you out.
Maybe if Trans people identified as oil pipelines, corporate mergers, or tax breaks for billionaires, Republicans would finally protect them.
Theyβll tell you trans people are a βthreatβ to the military, but a twice-impeached, 91-times indicted game show host who tried to overthrow democracy?
That guy gets to be Commander in Chief.
The same people who tell you the government is too bigβ¦ unless itβs regulating bodies, bedrooms, or books.
The same country that screams βSupport the Troops!ββbut only if they fit the dress code.
Ah yes, America: the land of the free⦠unless you're Trans, poor, sick, a woman, an immigrant, an atheist, a teacher, or anyone who ever read a book. #SupportTheTroops
#KendrickLamar took the #SuperBowl stage and did the one thing this country fears most: a Black man told the truth in front of millions. On cue, the usual frauds are so "offended" youβd think oppression sat on their face. Free speech for them, silence for everyone else. #HalfTimeShow

We cannot stay silent while they try to rewrite who we are.
β P.S. The most important question right now isnβt about sports. Itβs not even about Trump. Itβs this:
What is Elon doing? And who is letting him get away with it? π€

What you can do right now:
π Call your reps & demand they protect trans rights & abortion access.
π¬ Talk to the women in your life about why this fight is bigger than sports.
π’ Stay LOUDβon social media, in your community, everywhere. (5/6)
What happens to our daughters, nieces, and the kids we love when their bodies & identities are no longer their own to define?
This is an assault on all of us.
Trans women are women. That is not up for debate. And when we defend their rights, we are defending our own. (4/6)
This is not about fairness in sports. That is a smokescreen. This is about controlling women. All women.
If they succeed in legislating who counts as a woman, whatβs next? Are we ready for a future where our daughters are scrutinized, tested, & interrogated to βproveβ their womanhood? (3/6)
They have already ripped away abortion access in states across the country, forcing people to give birth against their will. They have made it harder to access birth control, gender-affirming care, & life-saving healthcare.
They do not trust us to make decisions about our own bodies. (2/6)
π¨ This isnβt about sports. Itβs about controlβdeciding who gets to be a woman, who gets to make choices about their body, & who is stripped of their rights.
Trans women are women. This attack on them is an attack on ALL of us. A thread π§΅π

"We have oversight"? Show me the agencies, the laws, the enforcement. Otherwise, itβs empty PR posing as accountability. #BigTech #Musk #PoliticalTheater
Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17) will hold a town hall at the Rockland County Pride Center in Nyack, NY. This is our space, our voices, and a chance to demand accountability. We lead with strength and unity. Details coming soon. #PrideCenter #Accountability #CivicEngagement
The U.S. is starting a sovereign wealth fund. First purchase? TikTok. Guess the government figured if they canβt protect our data, they might as well own it.

Whatβs really βdemoralizingβ isnβt women and people of color rising. Itβs realizing your privilege isnβt enough to keep you on top.
