And proud to say they did exactly that. Still too many harassed and picked up without any actual criminal records but Charlotte stood up and made it uncomfortable for them!

Hours after Border Patrol swept through Charlotte, protesters filled uptown with courage, not fear. They marched peacefully, stood united, and refused to be intimidated.
Charlotte showed up.
And it showed strength.💪

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

As long as NYT is asking “Did women ruin the workplace” can they also ask:
•Did men ruin safe workplaces?
•Did men ruin domestic safety?
•Did men ruin public safety?
•Did men ruin global peace?
Or is a clear “YES” to all these questions just too difficult for fragile men to accept—so NYT avoids it?🤔

This is why they’re seriously discussing cutting the library budget.
This is why our schools are underfunded.
This is why we can’t #PlowTheSidewalks
Crime is down, way down, but the police are defunding our city.
There is no rational way to justify this. It must end.

The Chicago Police Department spent more than its City Council-approved budget in five of the last six years, costing Chicago taxpayers more than $501.2 million in unanticipated expenses, records show.
