🤣 it’s ok to dislike a city guys pls get over it
Ms. Iffat Omar, When you say “Lahore,” what do you really mean? Have you ever seen Mozang, Ichhra, Shahdara, Iqbal Town, or Harbanspura, or does your Lahore end at MM Alam Road, Gulberg, Defence, and Johar Town? Lahore isn’t just cafés and boutiques — it’s a city of contrasts,

Extremely rough day for Edgewater. ICE activity near schools. People kidnapped while working in yards, standing on hiring corners. So many rapid responders biking, walking, driving, whistles around necks, trying to protect their neighbors, but up against such well-funded forces

Sick disgusting vile
There’s been so many instances exactly like this: slumlord wants to offload a property, so they call ICE and say they suspect migrant gangs/traffickers/whatever. ICE comes in, humiliates, detains, intimidates, and robs every tenant until the building clears out
