I've seen a HUGE uptick in the number of folks On Here who are outright calling for violence against ICE & CBP, and I'd like to note two things here:
1. as always, per the advice of every lawyer on Bluesky, shutting the fuck up is 100% free.
2. stop volunteering others for your cosplay fantasies.

I absolutely do not expect this to be popular, but it’s important, and I don’t make things to be popular anyway. I’m making this because this has to stop, this is going to destroy our chances in November, and that is the point. Never lose track of the point.

a big problem here is the way every scrap of a claim about Democrats supposedly selling out gets hyped and inflated, and then even when it turns out to be untrue people remember it as having happened, or as having almost happened. Builds bad mental models.
the post everyone got mad about for two hours has been updated turns out it's the opposite actually

You should delete the quote-post, man. Like, I am going to be a sucker and give you enough of a benefit of the doubt that you're trying to actually do reporting instead of hustling/grifting, but when you make some shit up you need to own up to it.

🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.
Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.
Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

We have a strategy. You can even be part of it, if you can explain to me why what you did over a year ago was wrong. Until then we're treating you like a useless lump on a log.
The election was over a year ago. The fascists are at our doorsteps at this very moment. What's your strategy now? Because saying "I was right all along" doesn't do much for the people currently being brutalized, abducted, and murdered by ICE
