I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

Would also be great to see news outlets covering what Bovino’s demotion means *for the communities CPB continues to target & the ppl harmed during Bovino’s command* & less “what does this mean for Trump’s poll numbers” like it’s a fucking ping pong match & not actual lives on the line.

While I think it’s true that Miller is to blame for the ghastly specifics of ICE’s approach, I think we have to be careful not to go too far on that lest the media start to let Trump off the hook, as if grandpa has no idea what the kids he’s supposed to be watching are doing downstairs.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

He is functionally illiterate in his native tongue (by choice) and he would fail 4th grade social studies but I am supposed to believe he contributes meaningfully to multiple Fortune 500 companies? Lmao. He pays people to play video games for him. He’s a stupid loser and he should know that.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Heads up everyone, it’s not just Minnesota. These fuckers are still doing their fascist bullshit across the nation.
Tonight, most (if not all) the Zipps bar locations throughout Maricopa were raided by federal agents. Community members arrived to legally observe and agents pepper sprayed the crowd least one location. Workers were taken.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

And this is why if you would like to see a better Dem Party, you should be adopting one or two primary challengers in safe Dem seats and helping them knock out a consultant-led incumbent.

you can absolutely still yell at Suozzi, it's apparently super effective, but there really has been a vibe shift in very recent weeks and my hope is that it isn't limited to Dems
Tom Suozzi, one of the 7 House Dems who voted for the DHS bill: "I failed to view the DHS funding vote as a referendum on the illegal and immoral conduct of ICE in Minneapolis... I have long been critical of ICE’s unlawful behavior and I must do a better job demonstrating that."

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

I don’t think I’d call them “wannabes” I mean DHS has been recruiting with white supremacist dog whistles. It’s highly likely they hit their target audience and recruited whites supremacists who are now hunting humans and leaving white supremacist symbols behind.
