“Why I won’t play politics with public safety” as if the Mayor didn’t attempt to defund a hate crime prevention program, community safety ambassadors, a gun violence prevention program in Phillips, transit safety programs, and more.

The City Council had to step in and save them.

as has been reported a few times now, these orders all come from miller, who shouldn’t even have this authority, and they’re sacking high ranking ICE officials, cratering internal morale
Miller "directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven .. stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out .. and arrest 30 people right away.

“Who here thinks they can do it?” Miller said .."

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.
