John Fetterman and all Republicans except 1 - Sen. Rand Paul, voted to NOT investigate the deaths of 9 American's who were in the West Bank. All Democrats besides Shitty Shrek voted yes. Dems should run with this hard. It's their Benghazi. They sadly won't 😞 www.mediaite.com/media/news/s...

Well that's weird. What about being known as an immigration agent would be publicly embarrassing? And why would being known by the public to be working for ICE deter them from enforcing immigration? Is the FBI saying the public doesn't support immigration policy? Nah, can't be.
“The tactic is intended to generate public embarrassment and deter immigration enforcement activity,” the FBI added. It did not provide any specifics on where or when it observed the supposed doxxing operation, and conceded all information in the memo was “not finally evaluated intelligence.”

The rotten monster has been at it for ages. Bonwit Teller 1980 Trump just turned 34 years old. "Then they jackhammered the friezes, dislodged them with crowbars, and pushed the remains inside the building, where they fell to the ground and shattered in a million pieces."

New York City trumped
Developer smashes panels
By Michael Leccese
Two irreplacable Art Deco sculptures were smashed by jackhammers last month under orders from a New York City developer who had promised them to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The 15-foot-high stone bas-relief sculprures, which depicted semi-nude goddesses, were part of the Bonwit-Teller building (Warren and Wetmore,
1929) on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue at S6th Street. Developer Donald Trump bought the structure recently and was demolishing it to build a 62-story. $100
million mixed-use glass tower.
In addition, a 15-by-25 foot nickel. plated grille that had adorned the build. ing's facade has been missing since it was supposed to have been shipped to a New Jersey warehouse. Neither the Trump Organization nor the warehouse has any idea of the whereabouts of the hefty....MotherJones

To build his skyscraper, Trump first had to knock down the Bonwit Teller building, a luxurious limestone building erected in 1929.
The face of the building featured two huge
Art Deco friezes that the Metropolitan Museum of Art wanted to preserve. The museum asked Trump to save the sculptures and donate them, and the mogul agreed-as long as the cost of doing so wasn't too high.
But then, according to journalist Harry Hurt Ill in his book Lost Tycoon, Trump discovered that taking out the sculptures would delay demolition by two weeks. He wasn't willing to wait. "On his orders, the demolition workers cut up the grillwork with acetylene torches," Hurt wrote. "Then they jackhammered the friezes, dislodged them with crowbars, and pushed the remains inside the building, where they fell to the floor and shattered in a million pieces."In 1980, under pressure to begin construction on what would become his signature project, Donald Trump employed a crew of 200 undocumented Polish workers who worked in 12-hour shifts, without gloves, hard hats or masks, to demolish the Bonwit Teller building on New York's Fifth Avenue, where the 58-story, golden-hued Trump Tower now stands.
The workers were paid as little as $4 (£3) an hour for their dangerous labour, less than half the union wage, if they got paid at all.

The Kennedy Center joins the Reflecting Pool, Lafayette Park and sort of the White House itself (no tours) where supposed renovations have led to indefinite loss of public access. After taxpayer funded plans/construction, these places are fenced off and closed down, not improved.

Black text on white page that reads:

In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.

None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.

We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.

Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.
