VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE
NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

The New York Times' obsession with far-right Republicans is really, really, really weird. And totally not helpful. They should run a story about some other people every once in awhile?

“Resistance must be collective. We must assert not only our individual rights, but economic, social and political rights — without them we are powerless. Resistance means organizing to disrupt the machinery of commerce and government.”
The Machinery of Terror
The Trump administration is consolidating the familiar machinery of terror of all authoritarian states. We must resist now. If we wait, it will be too late.

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait
WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

Think mass protest & non-cooperation doesn’t matter? @jiggygero.bsky.social says: “When researchers looked at 35 cases of democratic backsliding from 1991-2021, only 7.5% were successful with no civil resistance movement while 51.7% were successful with a mass civil resistance movement.” Keep it up!
