There’s just zero excuse for any Democrat to not support Abolish ICE at this point when even Republicans are laying the groundwork to throw the entire agency under the bus.
It needs to be a litmus test in every single primary race this year, I don’t care if it’s a red district or not.

Musk represents antihumanism in its most naked and stupid form, indoctrinating countless millions into the idea that humans are worthless wastes of resources that can and should be replaced by technology, despite all of the evidence that this isn't remotely true and would create dystopia if it were

The President of the United States declaring an entire ethnic group unfit for citizenship in fact, by itself, denies members of that group the equal protection of the laws.

there is not a single founding father who would have believed that a court would ever rule that presidential pardons made in furtherance of a conspiracy against the republic were presumptively valid

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

I think as of tonight it's imperative on governors to recognize that Trump has abdicated his office by waging war on Americans.
It needs to be stated clearly. I am aware of what this means.
I'm absolutely NOT advocating anybody go out and do stupid shit. Don't go do stupid shit

Again, the question is not “will there be elections.” It is “Will the far right authoritarian party accept the results of elections?”
In 2000, SCOTUS stole the election
In 2021, there was an insurrection to steal the election, & a majority of GOP Reps voted to steal the election
In, 2027/29…? 🤷♂️

Yes, there will be elections. Yes, they will be “free and fair” sort of, aside from the military mobilization & mass voter suppression which won’t really qualify them as such. That’s not the question. The question is what comes after. Jan 6 was a dry run. We failed the test. We will see next time.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...
