@Holtsie@PhillyMayor Which roles? Anyway, the reason why she is issuing this statement on the pride festivities is to do damage control in response to widespread criticism of what happened Sunday. It’s political PR.
@Holtsie@PhillyMayor ? The murder of the young man in South Philly was abhorrent. Not sure why that would require a public statement defending the city’s actions.
@EthanLevins2 He didn’t “confirm” anything. On the 59th anniversary of the incident, he called for a new *investigation* into the official narrative that the ship was mistaken for an Egyptian one during the six-day war.
Last trip, NE regional train was delayed 2.5 hours bc of a train fire. Trip before that, train lost power for ~1 hour mid-route. @Amtrak down bad but I still choo choo choose it.
Do you think loving your neighbor could include acts like not breaking into your neighbor’s nation illegally and living off of their taxpayer system likewise illegally?
Pro-illegal pastors never seem to consider this.
Question to the ‘walkable city’ advocates who hate cars:
If you go to the grocery store and have eight bags (or even four bags) of groceries, how do you get them home? You push around a little cart or something? Sounds bad.
Tip for real humans on twitter: be skeptical of everything. This tweet purports to quote a shocking response by Trump to a reporter’s (real) question, which is completely made up.
Reporter: The DOJ has this new fund — $1.7 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for the January 6ers?
Trump: Because in my world, loyalty outranks law. They broke the rules for me, so you pay the bill for them. That’s the transaction.
@SenMcCormickPA It’s not about whether to enforce immigration laws , but whether our city police officers should participate in that enforcement. Philly says no. We choose local over federal priorities. That’s perfectly reasonable. ICE still can does & always has operated in Philly
Kevin González is only 18. He is suffering from stage 4 colon cancer and has days to live. He’s desperate to spend his last moments with his parents, but ICE detained his mom and dad after they tried to seek humanitarian asylum.
This is the total cruelty of Trump’s mass deportation machine. I'm asking for Kevin’s parents to be released immediately so that they can be with their son. https://t.co/iHU5ngZ5Bt
@ofviceandsin@johnnyrockets27 South st has been a lot of things over the years. Lot of good people come and gone. Its shameful they shut down the 24hr movie theater that doubled as a cold blue shelter, just for it to sit vacant. The 2 closed rite aid & 2 closed CVS lots in QV/BV are also examples of same.
@johnnyrockets27@ofviceandsin I’ll give you South Street. Part of the problem is that all these RE speculators bought up a bunch of commercial property intending to develop it, the increased rents drove out tenants, then the pandemic hit and they mostly bailed on their projects. So many vacancies bc of this.
