If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

From the people who brought you confederate flags in Ohio: we now present Southern Baptist pastor in Minnesota
CONFIRMED:

Earlier today Don Lemon reported a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, MN where they said pastor David Easterwood is Acting Director of the ICE Field Office.

They were 100% right.

Overheard the Elvis impersonator at work say he'd be back in a few months as a Johnny Cash impersonator. Really says a lot about the state of things that a guy has to take on a second impersonation just to make ends meet.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

One of the Democratic Party’s functions is to discipline and limit political possibility
One of the great weapons of liberalism is the limiting of imagination, they cant stand anyone imagining someone more progressive or egalitarian than them. They must be the pinnacle of civilized thought & to this end they will destroy the left wherever they can.

I think it's just the cowardice that gets me. It can't be any worse, what ICE is doing, and it's still not enough to get many Democrats to condemn them root and branch as Gestapo. The gulf between their cowardice in power and the courage of people on the ground in Minneapolis with no such power...

Everything about this is so fucking bad but the part that stands out to me is where the woman is like "can we call someone for help?" and the answer, unspoken, is no. There is no one to call.

The Minnesota government has failed to call up the National Guard or otherwise protect their people

protesting for palestine is opposition to american fascism. the same people who are saying renee good was a terrorist? guess what they said about the palestinian children they bombed
Leftists try to use Palestine as a wedge issue on Democrats during an existential crisis for America democracy. Instead of rallying against fascism in America, you all would rather dilute and split the opposition to American fascism. Why? For Palestine.

They (rightfully) believe they will face zero consequences for shooting us. They know they'll get a pardon, and that no administration will ever force them to face trial.
Border Patrol has shot two people in Oregon close to Portland. The shooting occurred near East Burnside and 141st Avenue. The two who were shot allegedly drove to this location for further help and are now en route or at hospital. Their condition is unknown.

"There are those that have been watching what Israel has been doing and want that here"
An official from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis told MPR News that armed U.S. Border Patrol goons came onto school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people; they handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

I think a lot of people would be perfectly happy with illiberal policies (like the ones MTG continues to support for trans people, immigrants, women, free speech, you name it) as long as they can keep the uniparty, Morning Joe framework of politics they've lived with their whole lives
I’ve seen a bunch of responses to the Draper profile of MTG complaining about her pushing ahead a bill that restricts gender-affirming care for minors. This is a misunderstanding of what she’s doing. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-marjor...

she just got the house to pass her bill criminalizing trans care for people under 18 years old.

the only mention in this piece is about how she’s upset trump hasn’t done *enough* to harm trans kids. oh and a quote from her saying trans people are all “perverted”.

what is going on at NYT?
