BU College Republicans president says he called ICE to βdetain these criminalsβ at Allston Car Wash
The president of Boston University College Republicans wrote on X he called the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement requesting it detain employees at Allston Car Wash, the site of a Nov. 4 raid w...
According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.
Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

Cartoon. Title: COP30: NZ'S GUTTING ITS OWN CLIMATE PACT.
Two panels. First a not so great caricature of Todd Muller (hey, it's been a long time since I had to draw him lol) he's standing holding a report that says Framework he's patting James Shaws shoulder kindly saying "Nice work!". James Shaw (again not a great caricature but at least it kinda looks like him) holding the earth in his hands says back, "Something we agree on!" At the bottom it says - 2019 Bi-partisan agreement.
The 2nd panel Simon Watts is leaning back and tripping over what could be the opposition leader Chris Hipkins (he's dropped the earth and it's slow motioning towards the ground where is smashes. Simon is saying to him, "HA! HA! Not anymore!" And under that panel it says, 2025 Bye bye bi-partisan.

Today COP30 starts in Brazil... I can't list all the things this coalition has gutted from the environmental plans.
A sad day for all...

A building with faded yellow walls and pink trim displays three flags on a balcony β the MΔori flag on the left, the transgender pride flag in the middle, and the Palestinian flag on the right. Below the balcony is a sign for βMiddle Eastern Marketβ written in English and Arabic, with an image of a coffee pot and spices. The shopfront has glass doors and signage that also reads βWelcome Middle Eastern Marketβ in both languages.

We are incredibly disappointed DOTI and the Mayor caved into the interest of a wealthy Denver family for the Alameda safety project, yet again following their pattern of watering down road safety projects when people with connections complain.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that.
But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you donβt win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal.
You canβt negotiate with people like that.

Schools went on lockdown, people stayed inside. It lasted the entire afternoon. A constant din of whistles, sirens, helicopters, people shouting. Or dead silence.
I see the NYT, New Yorker, commentariat frame it as "activists clashing with ICE."
No.
ICE/CBP/DHS are terrorizing US citizens.

Really, Andrew Little?
Andrew Little has appointed Ray Chung to head an important Wellington City Council committee.
We don't think he should be doing that. If you agree, please tell him so.
Here's how.
Emily (Emily Writes) and I drafted a letter to Andrew Little about his decision to appoint Ray Chung as chair of the CCO Review & Appointments subcommittee. We think this is unacceptable given his past behaviour. Here's a template for a letter if you agree:

If you have a RING door system, ICE has the right to request that footage and use it against you or your neighbors.

DIRTY POLITICS ALERT folks. Judith Collins asked the PPTA to bring her agenda items unrelated to pay/conditions. They found a few (one of those being Palestine) - she is then using that to claim that unions are only interested in Palestine. She's despicable #nzpol #kiwi

Out today in support of the huge NO KINGS demonstration I saw thousands of people from most walks of life (no billionaires) and many who could not walk at all (so many wheeled folks). The signs were funny, biting, and plentiful. The wind stopped no one. The cops looked foolish, impotent, armored.
