If there's one thing Bill 101 does achieve, its taking away any accountability from the Minister of EDU for his own actions. Liability appears more than 40 times in the bill, a stark change from its predecessor. We deserve to know why accountability is literally being written out with this law.

Veteran: Trump promised that there would be no wars. So to get into this war, it's such a fundamental betrayal of one of the core tenets of this movement. The GOP sycophants publicly support his mania. Commit to voting blue ⬆️ ⬇️ the ballot in every election!

A primary election is where voters choose who represents a party in the general election. If you skip the early rounds, a lot of the biggest choices are already made. Democracy works best when people show up at every stage — primaries, runoffs, local elections, and the general.

Today, I questioned Secretary Mullin on the illegal arrests of immigrants who have been lawfully appearing in NYC courts. But he seems clueless. If the Sec of Homeland Security doesn’t understand how ICE is violating the law, how can he fix it? Let’s end this insanity and abolish ICE.
