Early last year I approached Rep Gimenez with an offer to work together to protect immigrants in his district & mine. He rudely told me he had his own strategy & walked off.
Apparently his strategy was to do nothing for over a year to actually stop this.
Miami deserves better.

Gimenez: "We've been warning the administration about the enforcement that's been going on. We thought there should've been a course correction a long time ago, and now I guess it's gonna be forced on us by the Democrats. We should've been focusing on criminals and gang members, not grandmothers."

Stomach-turning that our opposition party Senate leader visibly cares more about funding the Israeli military than about cutting funding for ICE/CBP

Today, Patrick Driessen (@pdriessentax.bsky.social) explains how Big Pharma uses the threat of relocation to secure outrageous tax breaks.
The result: Big Pharma booked $400 billion in U.S. drug sales in 2022, yet reported close to zero taxable income.

Yes, it’s the duty of government to actually build and maintain mental institutions that aren’t abuse-ridden hellscapes, funded by progressive taxation. Too much fake-smart, know-nothing defeatism about this (and other projects) in the U.S.
I think you're right about all this, and the socialist view often gets articulated (& formed) in reaction to proposals and rhetoric about increasing the government's authority to arrest/commit people WITHOUT any increase to the capacity or quality of mental health facilities. That won't solve much!

We need well-funded quality mental institutions and legal authority to commit people to them. Achieving this goes against the libertarianism of both Right (anti-tax jihadists) and Libs (“Belligerent schizoids in the parks & subways are the essence of a free society”) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/o...

I expect the NYTimes will keep publishing valuable reporting about the city. But their “general assessments” in unsigned editorials and thumbsucker musings will continue to be irrelevant and even embarrassing. Here a Dem mayor endowed with executive function is, for that reason, likened to Trump
