yeah uh I am making that case. Trump doing tinpot imperialism was predictable and republicans refusing to spike hegseth and rfk was predictable and you can find my angry posts at the time demanding total voting against all the creeps and demanding refusal of unanimous consent for proceeding easily.
“Dems should have foreseen how Rubio would behave in January 2025 and abandoned all efforts to spike Hegseth and RFK based on those premonitions” is an argument you can make but you actually need to make it
Democrats voted unanimously to confirm Marco Rubio.

You it wouldn’t be ICE at the polls. You see, America is a very big place and it’s the states that handle the polling. And besides why would a citizen be afraid of ICE, he types, while thousands of brown people cower in their homes afraid a trip tot he grocery store might mean being whisked away

It’s gonna be fun times when Pam Bondi sends the FBI to arrest a Dem Senate Candidate a few weeks before the election and then the DOJ spends weeks slandering the person with invented accusations and all the brave policy-knowers here will sit smugly back and tell you how clever they are, they told

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This is my neverending argument that the sidewalk should be legally city property and not the responsibility of the homeowner.
If you clear your driveway but not the sidewalk in front of your house you are a particular kind of asshole

the purpose of Christian compassion is to let it be weaponized against you. you are meant to die of it if necessary.

I've been a staunch defender of many Dem "moderates" in leadership, and a vocal critic of others, but this stuff is beyond the pale
As someone who had the lowest possible expectations for Democratic leadership and electeds, watching Democrats in Congress see my neighbors brutalized by a government hellbent on causing us harm and then clumsily change the topic is… radicalizing

I also think Graham Platner should go punch some Nazis with the cameras rolling.
Is Platner back in Maine? I really want to see him fistfight an ICE agent. Least he could do to earn all the money the internet has sent him

This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence.
This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
