Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.
I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Go to your state, Board of elections website. Somewhere out there will be a link to “become a worker” -

I have been doing this for many years and many elections. It is incredibly gratifying.

They send you for training. And sometimes they even pay you.

To Denmark: I am an American who will always consider you a close cousin. I know you spilled blood for us after 9/11 wo hesitation. Trump sickens most of us more than he sickens you. Please know most of us do not feel as he does. While I won’t excuse them, even many who voted for him are disgusted.

You know, I played this song for a few people yesterday and they were each overcome with emotion. Bruce paints a real and heartbreaking picture. Looking at the lyrics I suddenly realized the other side can’t figure out why Bruce didn’t write something for THEM, maybe after J6. They resent /1

This is the video The Boss (Bruce Springsteen) put out for his new song “Streets Of Minneapolis”. You should watch it.

Re-sharing because you should support Johnathan if you have the means and haven't already done so.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Tom Homan won’t be wearing a Nazi coat. That’s one of the main differences.
CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

So for his next unnecessarily escalated confrontation he can say he’s PTSD due to the car incident where he got dragged AND the murder he just committed. He was then so in fear of his life that he just had to shoot the next protester who walks nearby.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Ok so we have an outline here for one thing to do about this situation. Everyone should call the local police and ask what will happen when ICE kills someone in their locality. Will they take over the scene and investigate or will they let ICE handle it? The Feds can’t be trusted. Now is the time /1

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.

IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

Giving up in advance is exactly what authoritarians want you to do.

Because they know that giving up gives them more power that they don't actually have.

They're counting on people's apathy and nihilism to help them. Doomerism is not helpful.

One of the first things to do is defund ICE and then use the money to give teachers a bonus. Then hire home care workers using the rest of it. Reform immigration law to recruit immigrants to help the elderly at home.
New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

for almost 15 years, i was willing to speak the truth even when it was unpopular. at first they mocked me, threw rocks at me, called me an "old man" who needed to "shut the fuck up." now they take these things as self-evident.

Not to mention chicken pox sucks and can cause lifelong problems. My autoimmune disorder happened after I had chicken pox in high school. You can get shingles later on which is painful and can be deadly. Blindness. My whole life was negatively affected by chicken pox.
Yeah, this dum dum is talking about chicken pox.

This is very common. People want to know how this was covered up so long? Well no one does anything about rape. No one cares. They called these kids prostitutes. Kids. Not possible. It’s rape that they threw money at to go away.
This is sinister. If you're wondering why so many people don't report sexual assault, this is why.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

This gets to a more fundamental problem: the justices are unwilling to confront what's actually happening. Trump is attempting to create an internal federal police force to use on Democratic-led cities and whose only oversight is Whiskey Pete and Republican governors.
IOW, Alito says it's weird that the majority would expect POTUS to call on the military before he can call on the NG.

But in times of invasion and rebellion WE WOULD EXPECT THE MILITARY TO BE CALLED UP FIRST. Why should the third statutory condition "unable to execute laws" be different?
