Abolish ICE is the mainstream position, get on board or GTFO, incumbent dems.

SOME of us have been saying this for years. Stop looking weak. Stop *being* weak. Stop poll-testing every goddam word out of your mouth for fear of offending some voter, somewhere. Just say what you fucking believe and defend it. And then act like you believe what you said.

Passing a pro ICE law got this incumbent Dem steamrolled. I hope @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social sees this shit. Overwhelming anger at ICE. So unless you're a Republican, get on board or quit.

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US. His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism. And he failed.

Dystopian shit that needs to be prosecuted and banned

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting

A big reason Democrats lose is that people think they're phonies who don't believe in anything or have any self-respect. Act like you believe in something. Anything. For fuck's sake

No. Nobody associated with the Biden or Obama admins. We need new people, new ideas, and most importantly, PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO F'ING COMMUNICATE IN THE 2020s.

Should be all over ads. Gonna kill Americans so trump cronies profit.

Elected Dems listening? Should be a litmus test in every primary. Drop the squishes like a bad habit.

Okay, but here is what is going to happen: mainstream candidates are going to win primaries, and if we say “vote blue no matter who,” people will accuse us of saying it as a secret trick to boost moderates. Establishing VBNMW NOW, before the primary, makes it clear the obligation is universal.

Cannot agree harder.

lol delete this come on. homeschooling is nearly completely unregulated, a fucking mess, and does not need a glowup

Speed limiters on all cars yesterday.

The key message here is not that El Paso airport is shut down for "security reasons" for 10- TEN days. The key message is that the government can just do wtf they want and doesn't owe anyone any explanation.

In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint www.wsj.com/business/med...

Every one of these people deserves to get primaried into oblivion.

when this is all over there will be a whole lot of "well I just didn't know" and yes you fucking did you don't get to "oops" your way out of this one

Mamdani announces a new executive order protecting New Yorkers from "abusive immigration enforcement," including requiring ICE to have a judicial warrant to enter NYC property

Schumer is going to get smoked in the 2028 primary. Absolutely torched.

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

Read.

One of my most fervent beliefs is that homeschooling should be illegal. It is the domain of religious psychos and white supremacists and the kids always pay a heavy price

If many people hold a left-wing opinion they are a mob and should be ignored; if few people hold a left wing opinion they are fringe and should be ignored. The substance or correctness of the opinion is irrelevant. This is the reactionary centrist credo bsky.app/profile/eliv...

Dude's delivering so far.

Disable biometric entry on your devices!

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.

A very significant vote. The $75 billion can be taken away; this marks a clear vote by the Democratic caucus to do so.

Chuck Schumer is going to introduce a non-binding resolution requesting that federal agents wipe their feet on the doormat before storming into a journalist's home at 2am to arrest them for angering the president.

Because democratic voters absolutely HATE the wimps and losers that run the party. Ffs just fucking fight for a change.

She’s a domestic terrorist who belongs in prison.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

"'We lost all trust,' a current ICE official added. 'I’m not sure I can see how we exist three years from now.'” If an ICE official can see there being a world without ICE, there's no reason any of us shouldn't be able to do the same thing. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.

Huberman becoming a CBS big wig is exactly what I’ve come to expect. Consume like 5 minute’s worth of his content with a little bit of relevant background and it’s nothing but pseudoscience red flags. So of course the Baris Weiss of the world love him.

Any Second Amendment folks want to have a nutty about this or nah because you all are fucking hypocrites.

Free one for pitchbot: "Nazi is the new n-word", by <one of the new people at CBS>

Blue state NIMBYs are going to make a Democratic President impossible.

This would be a huge win and also zero democrats should vote for it. The position is “no money for ICE” and walk away. If they want the money, they can nuke the filibuster and vote for it alone.

If I see you use this word, I'll block you. If you use it "satirically" I'll block you. Using it at all today is a really fine test of character. I've had some of my books edited because I used it twenty years ago and I'm ashamed today of having used it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.” Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity. So pathetic and weak.

we’ve got a ways to go until 2030 so this could change but it’s pretty much an across the board disaster if it doesn’t building more housing isn’t just good policy, it’s existential politics

I love that they're admitting they have no core beliefs and they're scared to death that we do.

my perhaps puritanical opinion is that this stuff is brain poison and exposing yourself to it makes you stupider. I'm sure there are right-leaning historians and classicists who contribute worthwhile research to the commons but right-wing political theory is ex post facto practically by definition

You're going to find this hard to reckon, but there were adults who spent the last decade arguing the biggest threats to speech in America were nine sophomores at Oberlin.

Perhaps a lesson for the corporate media is your crappy both-sides reporting and your stenography of lies gave Trump permission to kill people. Doing the slightest better made him fold like a lawn chair

Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position. They are losing.
