No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

"Look we are always going to need a dedicated professionalized deportation force"

Why? No seriously. Why? Do you need a dedicated set of cops just to go after criminals who need to be deported that aren't otherwise caught by the justice system?

This pattern is so well documented historically, especially in the US, that there's no excuse for a politician not to understand what's happening

ICE ≃ KKK, with government money

It's that simple, and anyone who needs an excuse for not treating it that way is part of the problem
Terror is essential to Miller's project. It's designed to dissuade us from showing solidarity with the immigrants getting removed. Stand in the way of ethnic cleansing and you risk violence yourself.

This is like a satanic parody of the best moments of Reconstruction, which saw the DOJ using federal power to break up white supremacist conspiracies against civil rights. Here, white supremacists in the DOJ are using conspiracy law to attack civil rights.

New: Jake Lang's Campaign of Terror

The far-right influencer and J6 convict Jake Lang has been on a rampage across the country, sparking violent encounters through racist and islamophobic rallies.

Tomorrow, he's leading a rally in Minneapolis.

“The violent left, everybody!” The man shouted into his phone, which he had out recording the whole time. He was trying hard to mimic the candor and mannerisms of the president.

You can’t fight antisemitism while validating Holocaust deniers, gutting civil‑rights enforcement, and excusing open hatred inside your own movement. My new piece traces how the Trump administration is mainstreaming hate — not by accident, but by design.

We have watched Democrats try to appeal to the Resentful Rural Class for decades, and I believe NOTHING will actually satisfy them beyond “scary cities (that I refuse to acknowledge subsidize my life) no longer existing.”

As that’s off the table, well…
I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem.

I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.
Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Even when they don't, both parties pump out constant rhetoric about "real Americans" living in rural areas.

The entire premise of this article is a conservative-fluffing myth. Cities have more political power because that's where most people live!

Almost consistently, its clear that allowing the war criminals and quislings of the Bush-war-on-terror era to rehabilitate themselves as pundits and deep thinkers instead of vicious, hateful, lying discredited warmongers has led to generational harms
i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.
