    There are supposed to be ICE operations in SF and the surrounding areas this weekend.

    The Bay Area Public Defender Association put out a notification recently.

      Unfortunately I think this is more the mayor capitulating and trying to set up a different bit of fascist theater for the administration (arc)

      “Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States. I told him the same thing I told our residents: San Francisco is on the rise,” Lurie said in a statement Thursday. “Visitors are coming back, buildings are getting leased and purchased, and workers are coming back to the office. We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to get drugs and drug dealers off our streets, but having the military and militarized immigration enforcement in our city will hinder our recovery.”

      [Bolding added]

      They’re probably going to set up some sort of bullshit joint taskforce with the San Francisco PD and some federal agencies to beat the shit out of homeless people and call them hardcore gang members of some other stupid cruelty they can celebrate

    Trump’s base is rural voters. And they hate cities.

    He is sending masked troops to LA, DC, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco, despite the opposition of their mayors and governors.

    Rural Trump voters love to see this.

    I don’t understand why.

      I live in DC and I’ve been pissed since day 1. They love it because conservatives have no foundation. The only thing that the party is about is “make the other suffer.” That’s all.

        I disagree! They’re also about getting as rich as possible by any means, legal or otherwise.

    Press X to doubt.

    I don’t trust anything this regime says. He’s actively waging war on us, whether he says he is or not.
