I don't know that there's any recourse for non-citizens getting targeted by police. But as we all continue to watch this nightmare unfold, can the citizens at least make them answer for their wrongful arrests? I know that they intentionally target people who can't afford lawyers - anyone ideologically inclined to help them pro bono?
You're not wrong, but you're in for a nasty surprise if you ride this legislative fundamentalism to its end. Marijuana paraphernalia and consensual ass fucking are also illegal.
The author didn't contest the legality of undocumented migrants.
Probably also woth pointing out (again) that the executive branch isn't itself a legislator. As long as it's not explicitly a federal crime to be homeless, not sure how any institution can act on any of this (legally).
The grand jury had just refused to indict someone accused of attacking federal law enforcement officers during protests against the recent immigration raids throughout Southern California, two of the federal officials said.
This is the great thing about juries. When the prosecutor and/or law enforcement have zero credibility they just reflexively "nullify".
That said, here they have every reason to believe they are actually correct.
Incidentally, Spamhaus is discussing this. I've noticed that my ISP (Altice/Optimum) is hosting LLM training and all these countermeasures (including Cloudflare) appear to be using AS's as the grain for blocking, causing me to have to check those stupid boxes all. The. Time. This is not sustainable.
Said Ugandan-Indian American effectively told Columbia University that he was Black American. Conflating the struggles of Indians under colonization with those of Black Americans does no justice to either movement. This is NYC - be honest and direct about who you are. We aren't stupid.
It's definitely not a dealbreaker for me and I will rank Mamdani again. But it's not unreasonable for me to expect him to respond to the situation more apologetically and convince me that he understands race relations in our city and that it's important that he does.
Great, fatfingered the Post button and there's no way to edit.
To keep it brief, Mamdani is being disingenuous when he thinks that staking a claim to being African American on this part of an application has no bearing on the history of black oppression in the US and the way it affects race conscious admissions.
Absurd. That check box ended up on a lot of applications due to generational oppression and slavery. Mandani doesn't need to dwell on whether or not he is, in "black as night". He needs to measure in good faith whether or not he is seen and likely
As someone who's also literally African American but caucasian, I was aware of the history of the term African American and knew to always flag myself as "white" in things America. I get it. It's a stupid, antiquated term. But it does give the impression to universities that you are Black American. Mamdani didn't receive a worse history education than me and he should have known better.

Genius campaigning.

Regulations will be rewritten in blood.
