This is obviously true but as a criticism it calls more attention to the unjustness of a system where laws are not binding on certain actors than to the wrong act itself

Probably the most disqualifying topic opined on in the mayor race is @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's free buses plan. "That will be so expensive" instantly reveals someone as completely clueless about policy and should never be taken seriously. The lost revenue is, MAXIMUM 1% of the FY2024 NYC budget

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”

The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.
