Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

AAAARGH I am on the ICE741/ ICE2829 to Berlin.
Apparently at Berlin Spandau it sheds its ICE741 identity and continues only as ICE 2829. So if you look for ICE 741 (only number displayed in the train itself) this is what you see.

“My family is starving!”
“Democrats just proposed a bill that would give your family half a loaf of bread!”
“If that’s all I get, we’ll starve!”
“Honestly, after negotiations it’ll probably be a quarter loaf.”
“That’s doesn’t help us at all!”
“Your attitude is why we keep losing. Good luck, chump!”

I’ve had it up to here with voters being told that they owe Democrats their support. That’s not how it works. Democrats need to communicate a vision and a plan to voters to get their support.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

"Alle Zusagen ... wurden nach Auskunft der Bundesregierung zurückgenommen, da sie nicht rechtsverbindlich seien. Es bestehe kein politisches Interesse mehr an einer Aufnahme."

"... kein politisches Interesse mehr..."

Das ist echt der widerwärtigste Satz.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

The U.S. Department of Education announced a slew of Title IX-related investigations this week that include 2 school districts in Maine.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.
