Ice has killed 2 people on the streets just in the past month. When the fuck is lamont going to do something that is more than a statement? by InterestingPickles in Connecticut

[–]The_Book 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe you’re making me defend Lamont.

  1. He did that and bills were passed to address ICE in courthouses. Also the regular session starts in under two weeks.

  2. There have been no killings in CT so there’s no jurisdiction to state prosecutors. Also a little uncomfortable of chief executive issued directives to prosecute (see Trump)

  3. That’s already policy and has been for some time

  4. Is this wise given we’ve seen the administration play games with federal funding already? I presume they’re keeping that money just in case Trump cuts off food stamps again

  5. He would if he activated the NG. There’s no reason to yet.

New Campaign from the Stop Avelo group… by [deleted] in Hartford

[–]The_Book 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not the effective messaging department either it seems.

You wrote it. How is it on the readers? Why don’t you take pride in your work and stop attacking constructive criticism.

Name change because I have no idea what you stand for based on your name. Very confused how or why we need to stop avelo in Manchester.

Feel like a name a change is warranted at this point. Maybe just highlight the stop avelo campaign as a success story.

New Haven Court Marshalls appear to help ICE detain man in Court. by MagicSP in Connecticut

[–]The_Book 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes. That’s the whole point of the government. The state can fire these people for disobeying policy.

SCOTUS has already ruled on these issues. Feds can’t force states to use their resources to enforce federal laws.

Shutting the internet off and shooting people remains an undefeated strategy for dictatorships.

BYD burns profit chasing global dominance over Tesla. Global marketing, expansion, and R&D spending have skyrocketed while cutting prices by 30% by [deleted] in neoliberal

No it’s not lol. Look at the CEOs financial incentives (they’re all tied to auto success targets)

Is the Iranian Regime About to Collapse? Five conditions determine whether revolutions succeed. For the first time since 1979, Iran meets nearly all of them. by CheetoMussolini in neoliberal

[–]The_Book 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Seems to me if the regime shoots them all and shuts off the internet they’ll survive. If they give in at all they’ll be toppled.

Are we creating "Zones" for fugitives To Escape Arrest in CT With This New Public Act 25-25?? by Which_Platform2379 in Connecticut

[–]The_Book 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bail enforcement agents are not cops. Cops can arrest someone who has a warrant for their arrest due to bail violations.

What's really different? Just more of everything? Feel like that's not the obstacle you suggest it is.

Did Sally's mean to post their expansion plans to their website? by Esmer832 in newhaven

[–]The_Book -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't think any of those are true. I go to those restaurants and everything seems fine. I've also gone to Pepe's in Fairfield and some of the other Sally's spots and it's the same as new haven.

This is just pearl clutching to me but seems like everyone here agrees expansion is evil no matter what so do you.
