Domestic terrorists. GTFO of New York Tom.

Adding that the strikes were illegal under NY law. AND the strike killed 9 people.

Tom Homan has possibly committed tax fraud through his nonprofit. He's also supported lies about election fraud.

Homan is now just yelling about how he hates sanctuary cities.
"I love my job," he says. "You want to hate on me, hate on me, I eat it up."

These Republicans really do get off on being cruel and racist.

He again brings up the "angel moms," which I wrote about in my book as part of the anti-immigrant propaganda apparatus.
(It's also a good example of ongoing right-wing women work.)

Homan says he wants to follow the rule of law, but did he do that in his own nonprofit scheme?

When asked about Mahmoud Khalil, he said that Khalil was a "security threat" who was working in opposition to American interests. Sounds like he got prepped.

I have very complicated feelings on this. On the one hand, everything to do with police unions and their shitty baggage etc. But on the other I grew up in North Country NY where corrections are a huge part of an already depressed economy and strike busting always puts a sour taste in my mouth.

jesspish.bsky.social•25 days ago

Oh I totally get that. Hate that corrections has become the economy, but yeah I hear your point.

NY politics is also a special kind of fucked, with upstate and the North Country especially usually getting the proverbial short end. My wife and I both worked in and around it for a bit in the mid-2010s during the peak Cuomo years and let me tell you...

Sigh

Yup. When we were in Albany, the third consecutive assembly speaker was indicted and convicted on corruption charges
