Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

My hot take is that at minimum a domestic violence conviction should carry a lot more of the shame and restrictions of a sex offender; it should ban you nationally from gun ownership, jobs in law enforcement, schools, pretty much any public sector work. It’s our clearest red flag for future violence
Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.
Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

For years now, conservatives and liberals alike in this country have been having an aneurysm about completely imaginary leftists with “blue hair” while ignoring actual fucking fascists standing right in front of their faces. Every day those people sound more pathetic, idiotic, and delusional.

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story
Cool tip: it actually takes MORE effort to deliberately misgender someone AND it marks you as a total asshole! Pretty cool!

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

This is disgusting. Trans people have not "gone too far" by existing and getting appropriate medical care. The NYT article makes me sick.
The NYT decided to kick trans people in the teeth the day after Skrmetti. They wrote a hit piece blaming trans people for their own oppression and attacked the people who have fought hardest to stop this effort to eradicate us.
They turned to Brianna Wu to further their narrative.

Rep. LaMonica McIver being charged by Trump’s DOJ for “assaulting” a cop is particularly scary because it was all on camera with many witnesses and the administration feels comfortable enough to straight up lie with impunity and target a sitting congresswoman

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

The next step for Trump is to send a US citizen convicted of something like child murder and rape to CECOT in El Salvador. It'll set the precedent to send citizens there while neutralizing outrage over it because of the heinous nature of their crimes. Then it'll any felony and then protestors.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.
