Stacy Plaskett who is a former prosecutor and the representative from the United States Virgin Islands (spell check wanted to change it to Virginity Islands, weird) must be well aware of what is in those files.

I figure it’s better to add nutrients to the soil, assuming I posses a few. The way things are going a few marijuana plants and a bottle of whiskey may spring forth.

The thread is moving slow today.
Also the British empire post-slavery didn’t eradicate slavery in the East Indies. I’m not knocking them for this important moment in abolition, but it’s really complicated. See Adam Hochschild’s Bury the Chains for a superlative history of the movement.

Frankly I don’t get this: it strikes me as 6 of this, half a dozen of that. NY’s ‘plan’ comes off very much like what Chicago tried to do: 1) beg mercy, 2) use local law enforcement as a buffer (aid to Border Patrol/ICE), 3) community activists learn and warn, 4) etc. Whether there is a Gestapo style invasion is really up to Trump, Noem, Bovino, & crew. And how much/what the city can offer to head one off, not the begging, the buffering, and so on. The question for Hochul and NYC becomes what are you going to do IF/WHEN Trump decides to send his goons in? (I write this as a Chicago resident on whose street one of those ‘Chicago style’ raids occurred. IF Trump sends the goons in, I would suggest NYC respond a lot like Chicago, and with awareness that even court decisions against Bovino won’t change behavior and activity much.)
