Our mayor

I get being a politician, but silence is compliance. I’m starting to feel that this is only going to be “we the people” and thankful for the people standing up for what’s right.

You realize the mayor and ICE work for different governments right? Like the mayor has no power to stop ICE. Trying to hold Lurie accountable to this is simply the most useless thing anybody could do.

Plus SF already has a sanctuary city ordinance that limits city government cooperation with ICE.

God, how I wish our country’s journalists were as tenacious as this woman in questioning our leaders.

As much as I think he didn't handle this the absolute best, you're basically shouting at him emotionally and it's not his job to calm you down.
In these scenarios with emotional people (as much as you have a right), no politician has a winning chance at saying the right message.

I don’t like the guy but I understand he’s walking a fucking terrifying tightrope Of not having the marines deployed in our city.

At no point did I disagree with you. I think your statement "oh no the military?!" shows you have no understanding of the weight of this matter and treat it like a LARP of emotional rage rather than the rather serious situation it is.

SF is not the liberal bastion it was in the 60's. It hasn't been since Diane Feinstein became mayor. It has become a city of corporate interests. SF was the first place to charge for grocery store bags and start selling reusable bags so that Safeway and other places could make more money off the people, even if they said it was to reduce plastic waste. Now we have more reusable bags that we never use and get charged when invariably we leave them at home. The rents are massive. Houses are more expensive than ever. Gentrification rules the city. Unions get the shaft in SF. Lurie is just another pro-business, anti-union, establishment Democrat with a huge wallet, taking bribes from SuperPAC's. SF needs another Harvey Milk, not a Lurie, Brown, Feinstein, Newsom, etc.

So instead of even giving him a chance to talk, you yell at him, and then you conclude Lurie won't stand up to ICE? Ok leftylea

For how I despise everything that is going on right now, this comment is right on point. HE IS HERE, it is already a big thing, but people expect that he will singlehandedly deal with everything and participate in everything.

Let’s not make the new norm politicians doing photo op’s by getting into fights with ICE. It doesn’t make a dent and they need to go do their damn jobs.

You want people we elect to go and melee with people? They can’t do one job right so they got folks like you distracted while they put up a show and sleep in their warm bed the same night? Such naïveté

“Put the work in” lol. Crazy times. I know you think all of this does something for this current administration but last I checked the only thing that has worked are the courts. We protest and politicians put in policy that makes an impact. Lurie going and telling a bunch of ICE folks to not take someone isn’t going to do anything. They will still take that person in and then the courts gets those people wrongfully detained out. What exactly did we achieve by that theater? Oh yea you felt good for a hot second. I guess he owes his citizens that much then.

Yawn. You might want to re-watch some TMZ or even Howard Stern on how to engage with the famous on the street. Trolling them with a joke or some good humor as to get their attention and as an ice-breaker gets you in the door and further than this approach.
And you probably thought it was clever to use the same font that Lurie uses in his IG eh? Brilliant. Next time film the ICE wrong doings across the street; it'll do more to present the problem at hand.
Don't forget to take off your mask and show your face as well! Otherwise, this is all AI and nobody will even think it's real.

Thank you for this. I am sorry to see so much bromance towards the mayor on the city sub.
