This. Clark has a position of power and has not used it to benefit her constituents as she should. It's time for a change.
You had the chance to stop the funding. Instead, 21 Democrats voted to keep ICE operations going. If you were serious, you would've whipped those votes, not go on NPR to talk about "party unity" on ICE when the votes say the opposite.
This version of ICE needs to be taken down to the studs.
We need real, meaningful changes.
Democrats will not rubberstamp funding for Kristi Noem’s paramilitary force.

In the face of a torrent of lies I know of no defense better than to repeat the truth.
DHS claimed "Medics provided immediate aid to Pretti." They lied. In truth, a physician entered a sworn affidavit that ICE blocked him from reaching Pretti, and when he finally got there ICE wasn't giving him CPR, but counting bullet holes.

“protesters” are not “clashing” with law enforcement. violent federal agents have waged war on minneapolis and regular people are telling them to get the fuck out. and last time i checked being in a group chat doesn’t mean you’re in a professional organization. it means you have friends.

I remain convinced that nobody voted for "treat everyone in America like Black people have been treated for a long time."
And yet here we are.
This is what happens when you focus on personalities rather than unjust systems. We cannot go back to status quo ante. We need to build just systems.

I'm very glad I don't have to go on that other hellsite to read what Michael Harriot has to say. Also, he has a Substack you can subscribe to.
After the George Floyd protests, right-wingers needed something to counter demands from the largest protest movement in US history. Fortunately, they found a word that fueled their white backlash AND demonized anyone who supported police reform, equality or human decency.

Dear politicians.
I do not give a rat's ass how furious or outraged or whatever you are. That's not the job we elected you to do. We elected you to power so you would USE that power wisely.
Let those of us in the streets be furious. And if you're looking for our votes, do your damned jobs!

I am heartened by the way that faith leaders have responded to the latest ICE killing and simultaneously distressed by the fact that more of our elected leaders are not standing with them publicly.

I do not think that reposting the truth will stop the tsunami of racist lies but I cannot let it go unremarked that once again the MAGA rage machine has made up something to be angry about and to whip people into a frenzy over. Fear is their only currency.
All based on a “gotcha” video claiming that 3 daycares had no kids. One hadn’t opened yet for the day; one is actually closed. Dude arrived with no I.D. No call ahead. They DIDN’T LET HIM IN!
The fraud they’re referencing was investigated & prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. The ringleader was white.
