Originally published on 6/2/2020 (after the killing of George Floyd), this cartoon seems all too relevant again today.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.
He's got to go.
He's got to go.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Yesterday, we joined tens of thousands to march.
This am, ICE responded with violence.
Alex was an ICU nurse, a union sibling, & an observer who stepped in to help.
This is a union state. We will continue to show up, to watch, to document, and fight
ICE is not welcome here.

Two sides to the story. On one hand there's the DHS story of a domestic terrorist. Then you've got protesters, state and local officials, all the video evidence, and your own eyeballs. It's really hard to say right now.

ICE is violently assaulting peaceful protestors & entering homes without warrants. They shot an innocent mom in the head & used a 5-year-old as bait.
I voted against funding, but that’s not enough. Abolish and dismantle ICE. If you support this shit, you are sick in the head.

i can’t even imagine what the flooding is going to be like today. this city floods if there is like a 1/2” of rain and it has been a full-on downpour for like 3 hours and it’s not supposed to stop until noon.
