and there it basically is. This is one of the reasons they are trying to force putting your IDs on the internet.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Really funny how the ruling class keeps justifying infringing on our liberties with "we gotta protect the children" while bombing palestinian children, protecting a global billionaire network of child trafficking, and building measles infested children prisons

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"as it stands" are weasel words here. the moderate democrat position is that ICE needs to be abolished, when the democrat establishment leaders say "ICE as it stands needs to go" they mean they want some meaningless ICE reforms in exchange for sending them billions in funding
Everyone from Gallego to Pritzker is screaming that ICE as it stands needs to go, then Bluesky got mad that they weren’t at protests, then Klobuchar got attacked *for attending a protest* instead of Doing Something, the Senate Dems Did Something and a major tactical win and it gets branded a cave.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

These are both false information and you should correct and/or block anyone circulating them. Your calls are tallied and create support and/or real pressure.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

ICE must be abolished and everyone responsible for this decision making process, as well as those who carried out the orders, charged and prosecuted with severe jail time.

This is a CLEARCUT violation of the Fourth Amendment, and shows a complete contempt for our Constitution and the rule of law
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.

It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

And this also means finally confronting and addressing the reality of how Black Americans are treated by law enforcement.

Because the outrageous crimes we’re seeing today are what has been visited upon them since long before any of us was born.

There is no fixing one without fixing the other.
There's no moving forward as a country without a cleansing moral fire.

There is going to need to be a leadership that embraces that reality, whether Dems like it or not
