How ironic that a prolific liar's feathers are ruffled over alleged disinformation. Newsom is attempting to control the narrative. He is a hypocrite and he has no credibility. He has a 38% approval rating. His public image is trash.

Iran fired 6 missiles at Israel, violating the ceasefire. One of there missiles hit an Israeli apartment complex and killed a bunch of Israeli's so it's on.

Iran was the one who violated the ceasefire.

Cuomo isn't just a sex pest; he is a killer.

Bombing Iran was a fiery but mostly peaceful protest of their nuclear facilities. Let's not exaggerate it.

ICE agents are accountable through oversight by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General, body cameras, audits, and legal frameworks. These ensure transparency without exposing agents’ faces.
comment in response to post
Forcing ICE agents to show faces now risks their safety, doxxing, and mission effectiveness in a polarized climate. Until robots take over enforcement, anonymity protects agents from threats and preserves operations. Accountability exists via oversight, not exposure.

Long Term (2050–2075): ICE could transition to a heavily robotic workforce for routine enforcement tasks. However, human oversight would likely persist for ethical and legal reasons, especially in immigration enforcement, which involves complex human rights considerations.
comment in response to post
Mid-Term (2035–2050): Advances in robotics could lead to robots assisting in high-risk tasks like raids or patrols, with humans still making critical decisions. Limited trials of robotic enforcement in controlled settings might begin, assuming legal frameworks evolve.

Immigration enforcement is what they're called. Calling them Nazis is what helps *you* sleep better at night. Don't get it mixed up.

Clinton’s sanctions on Iraq, enforced through UN Security Council resolutions from 1990 and continued throughout his presidency (1993–2001), are widely documented to have contributed to significant civilian deaths, primarily due to malnutrition, lack of medical supplies, and degraded infrastructure.

annual payroll would jump from ~$171,600 to ~$312,000 (40 hours/week, 52 weeks). Without relief, many landlords, especially small or highly leveraged ones, will likely face insolvency.

A rise from $16.50/hour (NYC’s 2025 minimum wage) to $30/hour by 2030, as promised by Mandami, would increase labor costs by 81.8% for low-wage workers like maintenance staff, porters, and supers common in rent-stabilized buildings. For a building with five minimum-wage employees...

"Young guy, seems friendly" is incredible naive.

Rising mortgage rates increase debt service costs, and higher construction costs inflate capital expenditures, eroding the 12.1% NOI increase for rent-stabilized landlords, often leaving them with losses after covering these expenses.
comment in response to post
Landlords of rent-stabilized buildings undertake costly upgrades, like replacing roofs or heating systems, to maintain habitability, comply with city regulations, and preserve property value, often recovering costs through approved rent increases.
comment in response to post
High debt or costly upgrades can consume or exceed the 12.1% NOI increase, erasing apparent profits for rent-stabilized landlords, especially in older buildings.
comment in response to post
Debt service is the payment of principal and interest on loans or mortgages, while capital expenditures are funds spent on major property improvements or repairs that extend a building’s life or value, both excluded from the net operating income calculations for rent-stabilized landlords.

Wait until they're robots. Won't be long. They'll all have the same face.

We typically call them immigration enforcement.

Right, labeling people as Nazi's so you can justify violence. Except what happens when they're not really Nazis, or not even close to being Nazis, but you've just brainwashed yourself into falsely labeling them?
comment in response to post
I don't agree. I say this because if murderous mobs identify and go after the law enforcement officers family, it's a problem. Job security would require a face covering. Besides, you know robots will be doing the job not long from now right? And they don't have faces...

I get the uniforms but why should they show their faces?

What interesting is you have all these feminists (60% are white) hoping that a black male baby dies, while they label fetal personhood laws as "fascist" and "Nazi-like" and call the supporters of these laws "Nazis". Feminists’ anti-racist rhetoric clashes with hoping a Black baby dies.

The sentiment that Chance’s death would protect autonomy is ethically fraught, as it pits a child’s life against a political principle. Centering Black women’s agency means respecting Newkirk’s hope for Chance, which conflicts with wishing for his death.

And what's with "Sweetie"?

Brain-dead patients are legally dead, but their bodies are not “rotting” or “decomposing” with proper medical support (e.g., ventilators, nutrition).
