This is not a radical position. This is a very moderate position. This is a conservative position.
That’s how far gone the Dem and GOP leadership are

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

I think of the police shooting scene in V for Vendetta when a crowd surrounds the officer. I shudder to think it could happen soon and suspect the feds and their supporters want it to so they have an excuse to escalate.
This is the 5th ICE-crackdown-related shooting, according to @apnews.com

CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

I hope Mamdani, Su, and all New Yorkers realize this promise of economic justice and equal opportunity, an build a new model that other cities can adopt/adapt. It’s high time, not for one party or another, but for true progress.
