ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

after a year of protests all across the country over ICE, Gaza, trans healthcare, several one day mobilizations, and more, protests appear to be up 133% from the one year mark in Trump’s first term. @chenoweth.bsky.social says we’re at a historic inflection point

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

his bad political instincts are because he has no moral center.
You cannot credibly claim that you’re supporting Gavin Newsom in lieu of any other viable option right now. You are doing it because for some inexplicable reason you have failed to notice he has horrendous political instincts (beyond hiring a good social media team he does not deserve).

It's a very easy Q to ask Dems. Yes or no, do you want to abolish? Strong pols like AOC can take the Q and explain what they actually want.

(I still think not having a response to the Q is a political risk, as is saying "yes" without explaining how you'd enforce law, but duh.)
ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Would you look at that? Jeffy did all that craven genuflecting to dear leader and turned the entire opinion section into an instrument of flattery and the feds are still pretending press freedom and the First Amendment are imaginary

This reeks of Orbanism. Congrats Jeffy, you played yourself.

interesting... I'm listening.
The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

Yes. Not a call for an investigation. Prosecution.
AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.
