There should be no federal, state or local involvement here. We must let the social experiment play out.
Yes, but without water, sewer, electricity provided free of charge to a foreign country. I do not approve of supplying them portable toilets, water or food. You want independence? You got it. Let them sit in their own filth.
Just don't go in with force. Worst possible idea.

This whole “let it play our” scenario forgets about the folks that lived there before all this and want nothing to do with it. They are deserving of protection by their elected officials.

They are re-creating all the systems they oppose.

I would invite anybody to go down the list of progressive people you know and try to think of a single one who at this moment, if part of a city had been taken over in an armed insurrection by a right-leaning group, would not be absolutely losing their mind. (Meanwhile, conservatives appear to be watching this with vague amusement.)

We are so much more racist than we were 10-15 years ago and it’s getting worse, just not in the way these fools think.
