The resolution, or Item 40, encourages federal lawmakers to pass legislation to keep immigrant families together and provide a clear path to citizenship.
Depending on your location, WWIII may yet seem to be going strong: most of the Masked Morons are still masked (and still and forever morons); serfs leap out of each other’s way as if approaching within 5’11” of a fellow human will slay everyone involved; and the too-craven-to-breathe actually fret over our disobedience to the CDC’s “guidelines.” Airports especially are stuck in the plandemic, thanks to the Thieves and Sexual Assailants.

The Austin Police Department is in a state of crisis. More cuts to specialized APD units are coming this year, thanks to the “reimagining” of police led by Mayor Steve Adler and Councilmember Greg Casar. Travis County, meanwhile, steps up targeting police officers for prosecution.

And the manager issued some statements last week saying that he was going to do that was going to do it in a human humane way. My understanding is that he s coordinating with the police chief and with his homeless chief. And I expect him to come to the community today or tomorrow to say how he intends to do this.
