the problem is that entire generation of dems and their younger disciples are all elitist pricks who think one of their main jobs is to discipline their base, NOT reflect that base's policy preferences. which is why we need to kick every last one of them out of office
I stand corrected. Four out of 5 Democrats want to abolish ICE.

Any elected Dem asking for less is outside the mainstream of their party.
Their new poll came out today. It's up to 79% support including 66% (!) strongly support.

I hope people realize that the emails released don't show a uniquely influential member of the super rich, but rather just an example of the amount of influence each extremely rich person exerts on popular culture. He represents just one replaceable point in a network, not the network itself.

Will, think for a second.

Black bloc is a tactic people use for an hour or two at a protest. They don't spend their whole lives in bloc.

Has it occurred to you that the people who show up in bloc are very possibly often some of the same people doing this other work the other 167 hours of the day?

right like it seriously needs to be reiterated a billion times that the incidents here aren't conspiratorially unique but a machinic form of patriarchal violence and violation that occurs in fractals and scales at all levels of society. sexual abuse is the glue of structures of exploitation
I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Yes. They also “lost” in Los Angeles last summer and just yesterday they carried out a record number of kidnappings here in the city.
please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.
