I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

Are you worried things can’t get dumber? Don’t worry

This is now the practical centrist stance

It’s like Donald Trump has declared war on smart people and you don’t even have to be that smart to be qualified as smart people

In the last 18 days alone: - Two men in ICE custody have killed themselves (jails are supposed to protect against this) - Two men died of cardiac-related issues - One man was reportedly choked to death by a guard - One man died of fentanyl withdrawal (family question the medical care provided)

The absolute accuracy of this.

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah. It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

We’re the bad guys now.
