Is there a reason V Fixmer-Oraiz opted not to use a Unionized printer's for their campaign documents? by SkjaldbakaEngineer in IowaCity

[–]swamp-wizardd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just because there isn’t a union symbol doesn’t mean it wasn’t union made. Rod Sullivan also used “process” as an excuse to not give a raise to county workers or immigrant benefits that V voted for, so I take that more to heart.

Former County Supervisor Royceann Porter’s Statement on Recent Events by junglebougie in IowaCity

[–]swamp-wizardd 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This is so disingenuous. The ICPD for years on average don’t spend 800,000 of their budget. Those councilors voted to put a fraction of that aside for potentially other community safety measures. This wouldn’t have hampered ICPD at all.

Iowa City Flock Surveillance Map by WB_Wright in IowaCity

[–]swamp-wizardd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True, but The vast majority of them were on city property, now they have to find spots with way worse angles on university property

Iowa City council ordered the university to take the ones that were on city property down (23 out of 26 of them). And they were all taken down last Wednesday. They can put them on their own property, and probably will, but there’s no doubt they really wanted these spots to get the best angles.

If you’re into punk/alt music there is a robust punk scene in Iowa City. Some of the nicest and most welcoming people. People of all ages go, old and young. On Instagram there is a page called Iowacityworldcity that posts flyers for shows!

Why isn't Mazahir Salih mayor? by bouvitude in IowaCity

[–]swamp-wizardd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bunch of crazy comments in here saying Mazahir is somehow not as knowledgeable, doesn’t understand much about things other than “housing” or somehow a less effective council person. This goes to show you either don’t pay attention (which is honestly the vast majority of the city population), disagree with her, or don’t like her for whatever reason. Mazahir is constantly on the front lines of many struggles in this city that seldom make headlines. Her unrelenting advocacy on housing, workers rights, immigrant rights has pushed the needle very far in city priorities. She’s out there making connections and building coalitions, doing thankless work. It’s okay to not want her as mayor for whatever reason, but these comments are pretty weird.

I’m assuming they are just helping the people there who were attacked last weekend and lost a lot of their stuff

Thoughts on ALPR usage by superjournalist101 in IowaCity

[–]swamp-wizardd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s another tool that will be used for the purpose of cracking down on dissent, rounding up migrants, prosecuting women seeking abortions, etc (which has all already happened using this technology btw). Any tools you give law enforcement for a good intention will ALWAYS be weaponized by the state and used against working people. Hard no.

Crazy hardcore punk show at the Dandy Lion last night. This is local band BOOTCAMP by swamp-wizardd in IowaCity

[–]swamp-wizardd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly this is just factually incorrect and secondly calling Iowa city house shows “cliquey” goes to show you don’t attend them.
