I was going to appear on a right-leaning cable news network over the weekend to talk about Minneapolis and ICE. They asked for some talking points ahead of time, and I sent the following. Within an hour, I got "unfortunately, we will need to cancel for today."
Talking Points that Didn't Make It - Adam Isacson
Calling victims “terrorists” is incitement to further violence. It is an insult to every U.S. servicemember who fought real terrorists in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.

MORMONS: look its very clear that God and his established authority on the earth, do not have the power to actually influence sporting events. Thats why BYU doesn't win anything important. That would be way too hard
POPE (roller skating backwards while eating a hot dog) not that hard

36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year
may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable
this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it

Your favorite politicians can't say "Abolish ICE," even though they know that the USA protected its borders just fine before ICE was formed just 20 years ago.🤷🏿♂️
They can't say it even though they know that ICE's mission is violent, unnecessary, anti-democratic, and explicitly white nationalist.🤷🏿♂️

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This is just the motion to discharge, in one of two houses of Congress—but as an expression of doubt/concern about the Venezuela intervention, it is unexpected and a big deal.
The Rs may be Collins, Hawley, Murkowski, Paul, and Young, but not 100% sure.
