Plan to skewer US sanctuary city mayors backfires on Republicans
New York, Chicago, Boston and Denver mayors use platform at Capitol hearing to reject claims about crime and gangs
Michelle Wu's speech was fucking powerful.
The ash Wednesday ashes are a chefs kiss diplomatic smackdown to the theocratic alt right.
“This federal administration is making hard-working, tax-paying, God-fearing residents afraid to live their lives,” Wu said. “A city that’s scared is not a city that’s safe, a land ruled by fear is not the land of the free.”
Yeah, that's beautifully put.
She's no Obama-level speaker but she can definitely speak. Wonderful to hear people performing a well-written speech around an important theme like that.
I watched as much as I could before I ran out of time. Can we set up a prop from the old "gong show" and gong the people who can't speak well in Congress?
Amazing. Thanks for sharing
That was a good video
their suggestions on how to actually make cities safer were all wonderful. but nowhere did they say the one thing that matters the most. REDUCE INEQUALITY BY TAXING THE ULTRA RICH.
seriously, how else do we fund the suggestions they just made? tax them bitches.
Whose parents do I have to kill to get one of these billionaires to become Batman?
We could also decrease our military budget, but that would go hand in hand with reducing the money the wealthy have.
It's not fair to only target the military industrial complex, all the other billionaires should share the love too!
A land ruled by fear is not the land of the free
Oooooh shit 🔥🔥🔥
The hearing occurred amid heightened national tensions around immigration, with Trump and Republican rhetoric focusing on linking immigrant populations to crime.
The real criminal population that needs to be rounded up are conservatives.
I wild rather the left and right fight their common enemy. We can go back to bickering with each other after the dust settles.
This is why I've always maintained the distinction between conservatives and Republicans. Not all conservatives are Republicans, but all Republicans are toe the party line goose steppers. And there can be no compromise with fascists or white supremacists.
As my grandfather and first boss both would say when you asked them who they were voting for, "I'm a Republican. I vote for the nominee." Doesn't matter if it's Reagan, Stalin, Hitler, or Karl Marx risen from the grave to destroy the spectre of capitalism once and for all, so long as they have an R beside their name, that's all that matters.
Nah, those voters said they prefer suffering and anger instead of love and understanding. They burned that bridge. Now that they don't like their choice of president doesn't mean that agree that trans lives matter. Now that they are finding out after fucking around doesn't mean they have no hang ups about race. They are still hateful, shitty people and no amount of love or understanding will make them share love and understanding too. They need to burn in the fires of the reality they have elected for themselves.
upliftingnews getting spicy!
I’m here for it :)
