Dismantling DHS is an entirely achievable goal for Democrats at this point.
You can have Fox yell at you for being a radical leftist or whatever, but you're going to have endless images of paramilitary goons assaulting people on TV, and voters will associate you with wanting to end that.

Frey: "I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting & intolerable. If it were your city, it would unacceptable there too. ICE can leave & this massive deployment can come to an end. We have filed litigation to hopefully make it so, but I'm deeply concerned we don't have that kind of time."

People need to stop pretending the U.S. government isn’t actively rebranding as a white supremacist movement.
🚨 The Trump administration has rolled out a coordinated campaign across departments, using imagery and messaging straight from right-wing and white nationalist circles.
This isn’t subtle.

Frey telling people who are trying to protect their neighbors that they are "taking the bait"!
The citizens feeling like the mayor doesn’t have their back is only going to make things worse. They are going to feel more desperate and alone. And it’s gotta be inching towards the people exercising that most sacred of amendments, number 2.

how do you release a video statement like the one @governorwalz.mn.gov just put out and then have your state troopers assisting the very occupation you've called to end
Heard some flashbangs on the side we are not on; can't tell you RN what's happening over there. Over here, state troopers still standing side by side with the feds. Have seen a few MPD officers wander through.
