Mayor Protem - Pious Ali

Since World War I, not a single decade has passed without conflict somewhere in the world… what does that say about us?

"As a community, we stand strong together, and elected officials are doing their part to protect our communities, too. That starts with local government officials like us." Op-ed from El Paso's Josh Acevedo and Portland, ME's @Piousali 👏 bit.ly/4bsj8li

“Know that you and your colleagues, no matter the odds or challenges, will keep pushing to improve the lives of your residents, because if there is one truth in American history, it is clear: local governments deliver.” – NLC CEO & Executive Director @ceanthony50 gives the CEO Remarks at today's Opening General Session #CCC26 #WeTheCities

Before we celebrate any fall, we must ask: who will bear the cost?

We can politicize it all we want, but one truth remains. It is far easier to destroy a state than to rebuild it. There are numerous living examples today of lives, families, and institutions struggling long after the collapse.

This is the most insane and absurd definition of an ‘imminent threat’ I have ever heard in my life. Our ally and proxy, Israel, that we arm and fund, was about to illegally attack Iran so we joined in the attack because that illegal attack would have led to an attack on us

While the federal government harasses our immigrant neighbors in Minneapolis, the City Council just earmarked half a million dollars for expanded legal services. As these federal attacks continue, local leaders are stepping up to defend our communities bit.ly/3OWkPyr

Where do we go from here !!!
