gotta love how credulous you people are to the most insane statements by this administration, and how skeptical you are of the most unsurprising events in the world.
this just in: agency infamous for fragile egos and abuse of power got their ego bruised and abused their power.
> They are not "thugs". They are federal officers.
are they? maybe they should identify themselves as such with names, badge numbers, and warrants?
> They are upholding federal law.
they clearly aren't given the number of court cases the Trump administration is rapidly losing related to its deportation activity.
> This constant manipulation of words is tiring
this constant sanewashing of cruelty is tiring. you should find it horrifying.
but I'm not going to go in circles with you. I hope you eventually look back on this part of your life with shame about your beliefs and who and what you defended.
> Any average citizen would be arrested and detained.
yes, ICE thugs would probably behave equally lawlessly towards any civilian challenging them for a warrant. that doesn't make what happened less horrifying.
unsustainable. and should be unconscionable. almost every pressing social problem can be traced back to the lack of housing supply (of course, some traces are looser than others)
it was not deceptive. the words I wrote were said by Trump verbatim. please watch the video. I didn't remove the word "criminal" from the middle of the sentence.
so somehow roadways are "basic public services" but railways are not?
this kinda just exposes the depth of car-centric bias. to any competent urban designer, in a place like Manhattan, public transit is the "basic public service" and cars & roadways are a LUXURY.
inb4 claims that congestion pricing is somehow regressive
in fact, it is a progressive tax since reinvestments into public transit are phenomenal for the vast majority of low and middle Americans (and ALL the rest too, but especially those who can't afford a car in NYC)
