This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

not only does this piece not cite a single fact re: the many potential benefits of kratom, there is no indication that the author has ever spoken to someone who has as much as tried it. And certainly no perspective from the many people who are living pain and drug free because of it.

You know that the zeitgeist around kratom is *dire* when ProPublica is carrying the DEA's water! This is the only story PP has ever published on anything relating to kratom, and it is absurdly prohibitionist. We are about to make the same mistake with mitragyna speciosa that we made with cannabis.
