It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

let's take stock here: (Democratic) Presidents, via the Dept of Education, can't cancel student debt because statutes don't clearly authorize it. Republican Presidents can cancel/shut down the Dept of Education because, even though only Congress can shut down departments ..., ... 🤷‍♀️ YOLO?

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens
