Pick a side.
Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

i have issues with Jeffries, but Schumer is really a whole other level of bad—particularly because he's made massive mistakes not just in his secondary role as a rhetorical trend setter for the party network but also his actual day job of counting votes
if we do not push Chuck Schumer out of power, he will not just meekly submit to the right until they put him in the camps, he will blow up NATO as well
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah.
It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

Throw these fucks in jail. The first opportunity we get.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Fellas, is it normal for heads of "news" organizations to kiss the president (especially at a time when he's doing things like attacking American cities)
NEW from me:
Towards the end of Trump's interview with 60 Minutes in November, Bari Weiss rushed into the room to introduce herself and the pair exchanged kisses on the cheek, leaving 60 Minutes staff stunned at the "overly chummy" embrace.

I think Dem electeds should take moral stances & then work to change public opinion.
But it's notable that another centrist Dem group has a memo that 1) contradicts Third Way's "don't say 'Abolish ICE'", 2) is based on actual research, 3) didn't get an NYT story.

There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)

It’s almost like voters want Democrats to act, idk, fucking human.
Even David Shor's firm is telling Democrats in private communications that ICE is politically toxic right now.
