IMMIGRATION IS FANTASTIC ACTUALLY
"I slutet av januari presenterade två forskare på DN Debatt att de hade utfört en stor enkätundersökning, där 82 procent av de svarande kommunerna menade att ett fortsatt flyktingmottagande bidrar positivt till kommunens utveckling. Bara 2 procent ansåg att det bidrog negativt."
Ledare: Spanien välkomnar nästan en miljon migranter – Sverige borde inspireras
I Sverige talar man nu nästan enbart om invandrare som ett problem. Men vi behöver ha en seriös konversation om migration.

If you’ve ever worked on a campaign, you know that’s definitely not the norm.
If you haven’t… ask your local candidates what they pay their staff and if they pay their interns.

Very glad this is being introduced but $20 is frankly the bare minimum!
We pay our campaign staff a minimum wage of $25/hr because that’s where we think the minimum wage should be. People deserve to thrive, not just survive.

I hope they hear the sound of whistles and car horns in their nightmares every single night for the rest of their lives.
It is so funny that ICE keeps lining up truckloads of officers to just get trapped in traffic, roll up to a house, and immediately be surrounded by a dozen people blowing whistles and telling them their moms don't love them. Imagine waking up at 5AM and your boss assigns you to endure The Daily Hate

My experience with the filter blockades is that they actually improve safety and keep traffic flowing at a safe speed.
Keeping streets clear is critical to protect lives and property. Blocked streets & makeshift checkpoints are serious concerns for emergency responders as they can delay response times & restrict access. Neighbors have echoed the City’s public safety concerns about this. Let’s keep our streets open.

Was driving by a Minneapolis school around the time they were to let out when ICE agents were circling the area.
Was stuck in traffic in front of the school and saw what looked like school officials outside telling each other they were holding students inside until the area was clear.

- Eviction moratorium
