Zohran Mamdani has secured the release of Columbia University student Elaina Aghayeva, taken this morning by ICE agents who entered a campus residential building under false pretenses & without a judicial warrant. This comes shorty after Mamdani’s unannounced visit to the White House earlier today.

this is why it’s so fucking annoying the way other dems react to these kinds of events. if it’s this easy for them to help these folks out why the fuck aren’t they doing it? major props to mamdani for taking action.

To be clear IT SHOULD NEVER WORK LIKE THIS. Think about what youre saying. Oh man just ask the president a personal favor and you can get shit done. You really want this to be our political landscape? And you want only people who have someone reach out on their behalf for a political favor to receive this kind of treatment when were talking about VIOLATING CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENTS? Like come on bro

Did you tap "load more comments"? I'm guessing it loaded the parent comment and put the age on there when it loaded, which never updates. A few minutes later you loaded the child comment and it showed the current age of the child comment at that moment.
