What an incredibly weak response from New Bedford’s mayor, Jon Mitchell. One in five residents in your city is foreign-born, and this is the statement you offer? ICE violently arrested, Juan Francisco Méndez—a New Bedford resident and father with no criminal record—by smashing

Telling people to “just comply” with ICE assumes an ideal scenario that doesn’t exist. Juan Francisco Méndez did comply, he wasn’t resisting, he wasn’t armed, and he wasn’t a threat. ICE smashed his car window and dragged him out anyway, without a judicial warrant, while looking

A few facts regardless of what side of the due process/deportation debate you're on raised by Vance: 1) Only reason Abrego Garcia case is a controversy is an immigration court blocked his deportation, and Trump Admin admitted he was "mistakenly" picked up by ICE. 2) SCOTUS

In a letter to Housing Secretary Deborah Goddard, Council President Rachel Miller and Councilor Sue Sue A call for state investment in deeply affordable, mixed-income social housing along North Main Street using 2024 Housing Bond funds. Providence is ready to build!

Dan’s latter point really gets to the heart of it. Landlords don’t need an excuse to raise rents, they do it in strong markets, weak markets, high-tax years, low-tax years. It’s not always tied to cost; it’s often tied to what the market will bear. That’s why rent stabilization
