This reminds me of the stop and frisk testimony from the mid-2000s - bsky.app/profile/jaya...
Mubashir and his family came to the United States as refugees from Ethiopia when he was a child, and they all became naturalized citizens in 2019.
Despite being a U.S. citizen, Mubashir was targeted by ICE, assaulted, and detained. Listen to his story:

HE STOPPED TO SAY HI TO THE DOG
Outside Gracie Mansion. This is his job. But dare I day it he seems genuinely affected and happy to be there. There’s potentially immense power in that.

one small indication of the sheer degeneracy of stephen miller is that he clearly thinks this is all a big joke — a big troll
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

Hard agree. I'm increasingly just zero sympathy for the cowardly chauvinists who can't handle places where lots of different people get along together.
I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

The thing re: LaMonica McIver is that they went after her & Ras Baraka first. Dropped charges against Baraka and are prosecuting her. I heard her talking about the toll that this prosecution is taking on her and her family. Also, apparently because she's an elected officials can't raise legal funds.

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia.
It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

It boggles my mind that these people think that feeling like they need to carry a gun for protection to the grocery store shows that they are tough. It just shows that you are terrified of your suburban neighborhood.
like yeah on this basis I am forced to conclude I am in fact a harder fucking operator than a strapped 6’2 guy from Dallas who shits himself with raw terror when he sees a Ethiopian restaurant
as a small person who has spent a ton of time traveling alone without ever feeling the need to carry a gun, I also think about this a lot

No! The criticism of the Dems isn't that they never win elections, it's that they don't use power to solve the problems that got us here. Elite impunity, concentration of wealth, the unitary executive. Winning is only step 1
New - Chuck Schumer to haters: “The answer to these critics is to win. If we win back the Senate, that will answer every question"
Peltola “was the last piece to the puzzle"
He says Dem path to Senate is Ohio, Alaska, Maine and NC. Dems are watching Texas/Iowa

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

If you say we just need to give ICE more money for training, I am not voting for you in 2028
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

I know TV producers work on an incredibly tight schedule and are constantly bouncing between different topic—US invading another country! ICE murdering civilians! Epstein—but there are some easy ways to quickly find past statements that might contradict what a guest is saying.

What's particularly heartwrenching is the "ordinariness" of all of this. Just a regular person trying to support others who was murdered by a gatekeeper of the state. A regular and ordinary occurrence in the U.S. unfortunately.

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.
