Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

Monitoring? That’s it? Are you committed to publicly supporting the sanctuary state legislation? Restoring the healthcare you stripped away from undocumented immigrants who are adults? Banning the egregious human rights violations we saw today? Thought so.
We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.

While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

I want to point out a new resource page on Monarca website.

Small (or large!) businesses can post signs saying ICE/CBP must have a warrant to enter premises.

Also Know Your Rights signs for targeted people.

PDFs of signs and KYR cards. Plaster these puppies everywhere.

“their”? democrats vote for ICE funding. democrats vote for police funding. democrats vote against police reform. democrats criticize us for saying “abolish the police” and “abolish ICE.” who is there to blame, senator? this is squarely your fault.
This is their playbook: No warning, no transparency, no coordination. Their goal here isn’t safety, it’s to sow chaos, fear, and intimidation.
We’re still gathering information about what happened in St. Paul, but what we do know is that once again, federal authorities provided no notice to local leaders or law enforcement.

St. Paul budget hearing at 6pm tonight at City Hall. Why is Mayor Carter slashing librarians, rec centers and EMS just to let SPPD tear gas us on Payne Ave to protect ICE?

me in mixed company: treating addiction like a moral failing is a big part of how we got here, with only punitive measures to combat drug related deaths. rethink the way you use the language of addiction

Don’t tell us Vision Zero is impossible. Just say you don’t want to do what would make it possible.
“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

Q: Just days ago you referred to Trump as a 'despot.' Will you retract?

MAMDANI: We're both very clear on our positions & what I really appreciate about the president is our meeting focused not on places of disagreement but shared purpose we have

TRUMP: I've been called much worse than a despot
