ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.
If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.
This is how things work.
Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

Tax Wealth not work.
Work is already fairly taxed, the wealthiest pay a tax rate not even half of yours.
It's time to end the unfair culture where the wealthiest contribute the least.

Elon Musk has acquired billions in government subsidies and tax breaks.
Tesla shareholders will vote whether to make him the world’s first Trillionaire.
The moral of the story is this:

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

If the richest 150 people in the UK got only £1m a day richer instead of £2m.
There would be £60bn to spend.
And they would still be getting a MILLION Pounds every single day.

Before Margaret Thatcher the UK had much cheaper rail, much cheaper mail, some of the cheapest Energy and Fossil Fuel in Europe and the cheapest water in Europe.
Because we owned it.
Look at it now, you pay more, the State PAYS more (totally insane), and it is worse.

Political violence and threats are not the answer.
This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion.
We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.
