Sanctuary Cities Stand Firm Against Trump

At least three dozen so-called sanctuary cities across the country are standing firm against President-elect Donald Trump’s pledge to crack down on them, according to a POLITICO analysis.Trump has pledged that one of the top priorities for his first 100 days in office is to “cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities,” an unspecific term for jurisdictions that limit, in one way or another, their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement agents.But with six weeks to go until the inauguration, POLITICO identified not one city that is reconsidering its “sanctuary” policies—such as not inquiring residents about their immigration status or detaining people solely on that status—on account of the presidential election.Instead, officials in at least 37 cities (listed below) have doubled down since Trump’s election, reaffirming their current policies or practices in public statements, despite the threat of pushback from the incoming administration, and at least four cities have newly declared themselves sanctuary cities since Trump’s win.

  • The Lazy Coffee Drinker’s Dilemma: Billions of Nonrecyclable K-Cups
    Mother Jones, Thursday - 12/19/2024 - 06:00 AM

    This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. There’s a Keurig machine in some 40 million households in the US. Single-serve coffee brewing systems—which allow consumers to make just one cup of coffee at a time by feeding a pod into a slot and pressing a button—have soared in popularity since the early 2000s.

  • My Unexpected Healing at San Quentin
    Mother Jones, Thursday - 12/19/2024 - 06:00 AM

    In 2007, I visited San Quentin to see a transformational program for prisoners that was created by my friend, Jacques Verduin. The program was called Guiding Rage Into Power—known as GRIP. The men who participated had all been violent criminals, some had murdered, many had been gang members. They were “lifers.” And they had all been incarcerated for many years, some for decades. I was a working journalist; I sat and listened.

  • Senate GOP Says Renegotiating Funding Deal Is Unrealistic
    Political Wire, Wednesday - 12/18/2024 - 10:32 PM

    “Senate Republicans are rallying behind the idea of a clean continuing resolution. It just can’t actually be clean — and it probably can’t address the debt limit,” NOTUS reports. “As House Republicans rose up against Speaker Mike Johnson’s government funding plan, and Democrats suggested they weren’t open to a renegotiation, President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance complicated the matter further Wednesday by demanding that any agreement — even the clean CR that conservatives have been pushing for — would be ‘destructive’ without terminating or extending ‘the Debt Ceiling guillotine.’” “Senate Republicans said they understood Trump’s frustration with the looming debt ceiling, but they suggested there was little power to renegotiate the deal in the next 48 hours, particularly without giving Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer additional concessions.”
