What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

This should exist in every city in the country.

Screenshot of a press release with the headline: “Mayor Mamdani Announces Formation of ‘Rental Ripoff’ Hearings.”

Subhead reads: “‘Rental Ripoff’ hearings in all five boroughs will offer New Yorkers a microphone to share poor conditions, unconscionable business practices that City will act on.” Body text reads: “NEW YORK, NY — New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani today signed an executive order directing the Department of Housing Preservation & Development, the Department of Buildings, the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants, and the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, in coordination with the new Office of Mass Engagement, to hold ‘Rental Ripoff’ hearings across the five boroughs within the first 100 days of the administration. At these hearings, working New Yorkers will be able to speak about the challenges they face — from poor building conditions to hidden fees on rent payments. Following these hearings, the Mamdani administration will publish a summary and report detailing common themes and areas of opportunity, and the testimony shared at these hearings will directly inform policy interventions to take on these ripoff tactics. Details about the hearings will be available at nyc.gov/RentalRipoff.”

A young man with a neatly trimmed beard smiles at passersby as he sits in a courthouse courtyard. He appears professional, wearing a gray jacket and white shirt, holding his mobile phone and looking to the side. In the background, people move about inside a spacious, naturally lit building, giving the scene a sense of everyday life and work.

A young man sits atop the ruins of his destroyed home, surrounded by concrete blocks and scattered stones. He is dressed in black and gazes into the distance with eyes that blend sadness and hope, while behind him lie crumbling walls and broken windows, a scene that reflects the devastation and loss.

My son put it best when he was a young kid: "Cats are great because you get happy every time you encounter them. You turn a corner, and there's a cat there, and it's like there's a cat, and that's great."

I always think about it whenever I turn a corner and encounter a cat.

Not that I disagree with the base premise but how is that "your politics"? What's the threshold? Does any wealth = insecurities? How does any random politician's wealth and/or insecurities create problems for you?
