ICE raided New Bedford last week & kidnapped dozens of our neighbors, so we went to have lunch in an immigrant neighborhood & support its businesses ICE solved its parking problem - suddenly spots open everywhere Destroying our urban economies & immigrant communities is, of course, the point

New York City's annual average temperature is about 1.5°F to 2°F warmer today than it was in 1954, rising from an annual mean of around
