People have been fighting apartments next to the 16th/Mission BART since at least 2017. I used to think that California leftists were poverty and segregation's unpaid interns, but now I think they love ruining people's lives even more than Republicans.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.
