Agree entirely, except for one point. This is the Confederacy, not the Gestapo. We need to stop trying to distance the reality that this disgusting regime is born of our country and its history and not somewhere else.
From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Just a reminder that these murders are being perpetrated by a government that is illegally engaged in a coverup of the world's most notorious pedophile trafficking ring, including the possible involvement of the President of the United States.

I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is:

"My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities."

Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Democrats in the Senate must grind the wheels of this government to a halt. There is no matter more important that the fundamental liberty of citizens to say and think what they want without being murdered by ICE.

Donald Trump is a pedophile rapist who trafficked children.

The entire Republican party knows this, and it has turned the federal government into a machine to cover up his depravity.

There are no good Republicans. None. Zero. Republicans protect rapists and abusers because that's who they are.
Keep saying it.

Trump isn't just in the Epstein files, he is the Epstein files.

The DOJ is spending millions and millions and dollars to cover it up.

Dammit. No regrets about blowing up my reps’ phone lines, though.
FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov Why did you vote to fund ICE?!? You absolute KNOB! Ashamed to say you represent my state.

If Democrats wants to ease the affordability crisis, they’ll campaign on reining in the paramilitary force that’s making everything more expensive.

There's no moving forward as a country without a cleansing moral fire.

There is going to need to be a leadership that embraces that reality, whether Dems like it or not

Here’s how every Democrat should be talking, for the dunderheads who keep saying “but they can’t doooooo anything”
Our constituents are being surveilled, threatened, tear gassed, shot, subjected to warrantless arrest, kidnapped, and disappeared. 35 people have died in detention in ICE’s deadliest year yet.

ICE’s terror and violence need to end.

The View and People are two extremely consistent bellwethers of white moderate views, along with USA Today, which posted an article yesterday called "Can the 25th Amendment remove Trump from office? What to know"
And— literally, no shit, not a joke— *Everybody Clapped*.

On THE VIEW.

One of the normiest, most Pulse Of The Nation daytime TV shows there is.

Holy shit.
You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

It's always been abolish ICE.

For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency.

I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.
