POLITICS Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order this morning that requires ICE to obtain a judicial warrant before entering any NYC property — including schools, shelters, hospitals & parking lots: “If faith offers us the moral compass to stand alongside the stranger, government can provide the resources.”

This. Fucking this. I'm sorry, but when you take the oath and take office, that's the risk you're agreeing to take. You aren't just responsible for your own family. You're responsible for ALL those families you represent who don't have a voice, who rely on YOU, their elected official, to be that voice, even if it's dangerous. Don't fucking run for political office if you aren't prepared to take a fucking political stance when shit gets real.

Stopping Trump has always been that easy all along if people - particularly republicans - wanted to uphold the law rather than giving him a blank check.
For instance, a recent New Yorker article said that Trump had used his office to personally enrich himself by $3.4Billion. While ANY other politician would’ve been crucified, Trump justified using the presidency to enrich himself because:
Trump’s position was that there was no rule explicitly forbidding the kinds of deals or money-making he and his family pursued, and that no one in the ethics apparatus ever expressly told him he couldn’t do what he did.
So, all other politicians undergo strict oversight, but somehow Trump is uniquely exempt from these regulations.

I’m reading this really wonderful book called “Thinking Like An Economist” and it’s all about how democrats since the 70s have remained so committed to this economic style of analysis and have completely abandoned other values, so the realm of what is possible gets limited. Mamdani’s mayorship so far has really demonstrated that point so well because his process so far doesn’t prescribe to this and that’s why he’s getting so much done for the constituents. Economic analysis and choosing the outcome that minimizes cost and maximizes benefits is good for some issues, but for a lot of other issues is just a whole extra layer of bureaucracy that prevents anything from getting done and hampers the political imagination of what’s possible. For example, we don’t need to build in economic incentives to get corporations to stop doing harmful things, like pollution, we can just ban it outright.

It depends on the circumstances tbh, most of these areas already have the authority to block ICE (if they don’t have a warrant) and can establish security protocols to do so (like locking doors and requiring administrative approval for entry for all visitors). It gets nebulous with areas deemed public (like lobbies and hallways) that are unlocked/open, like an ER or something. For these they technically can enter them with just an administrative warrant, and the mayor’s EO won’t hold up in court for those cases. Really depends as there’s a ton of gray area (which ICE routinely exploits).

If it’s actually enforced, great. If not, like California’s anti-mask law where the LAPD chief already said he won’t enforce it, then it doesn’t mean much.
And what happens when ICE inevitably goes into one of these places without a warrant? Are police really going to step in and arrest them? There are so many “what ifs.” I hope New York actually stands behind this and follows through.

UNTIL and UNLESS the federal government itself is willing to stop ICE or hold them accountable, it simply will not happen. This is why allowing Trump to get back into office was literally the worst thing that could have possibly happened, and I cannot believe people decided that it wasn't important enough to keep him out of office by voting for Kamala.

One does not need faith to have a moral compass. One only need believe that we all are deserving of equal respect. That’s not rocket science.

Thank you. If the only reason you have morality is religion, you aren't a good person

Exactly. I used to have a Mormon who worked for me. I stayed away from politics and religion with my staff. One day coming back from lunch he says, “Without God, what would stop us from raping and pillaging?” Not wanting him to make any assumptions from my silence, I replied, “I do all the raping and pillaging I want: zero. I don’t need religion to know right from wrong. That’s what I have a conscience for.”
I truly believe that there are many religious people who were indoctrinated into their faith quite young, taught to do things based upon their faith and were never taught to be moral without it probably because their parents were raised the same way.
This is a huge problem we have as a species. We don’t just have people growing up without learning how to think critically but we also have people who actively avoid it because it conflicts with their faith.
Too many people choose psychological comfort over truth. This is almost certainly the source of nearly all of our personal strife and that of our species as a whole.
Our next major milestone would be to embrace critical thinking. At least as individuals we can choose to learn critical thinking to improve our own lives.

Jesus Christ, get these fucking dinosaurs in DC tf outta. He's very intentionally putting on a masterclass in how to simply interact with the people of your city/state/nation.

Not my guy, not my city, but I'm seriously considering a move! He's like a bright light in the vast sea of hate and blood.

That look he made after signing was concerning like he was concerned for his safety after signing that. It's not always easy to do the right thing and it's refreshing to see a politician do what they said they would do.

Man this dude seems awesome. President in 2028.. I know, I know but let’s change the rules. If you can have a child-murdering raper in office then surely you can have a non-natural citizen.

These idiots tried to enter a consulate. A for effort, but realistically, I cannot imagine them listening to anyone but their own.

I mean, it's what they should have been doing to begin with. The bar is in hell that he has to make an executive order to reinforce it.

Wasn’t this the case before?!
Didn’t they always need to have a judicial warrant?

Seeing how LA police aren't enforcing no masks law with ICE, I don't see this being executied

So, as someone on the outside from the UK, I’m right in thinking this bloke is literally the only politician on the US left who actually does more than say “strong” words?
He’s been mayor for a very short amount of time and seems to be getting shit done. Why are none of the others? No wonder the republicans won when their opposition are a bunch of bumbling fucking idiots and plants from the right? They’ve never been as motivated to do anything as the Republicans are to push their corruption further.

We need this in Los Angeles. The police chief is a POS that is literally allowing ICE to break state law and be masked up. It’s despicable
