I'm looking at the data for a column, and "abolish ICE" is both a lot more popular than you probably think, and a lot more popular than it has been in the past, including 2018

Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.

A friendly reminder that no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty in a hostile incident. The industries that illegal immigrants often work in — like landscaping and construction — are far more deadly and dangerous work than being an ICE officer.

It’s important for ICE officers to wear masks to stop people like … [checks note] … the DHS secretary from doxxing them.

Worth remembering, when you see passages like the one below, that this was not inevitable--the WPR mechanism does not allow for a presidential veto. It is only because of the Supreme Court's Chadha opinion that the president could veto the Venezuela resolution. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Wait wait wait, while Americans have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs, Trump is going send over $10,000 to each person in *Greenland*????????? This is a joke right ? www.reuters.com/world/europe...

All strands of the Right – elected officials, the media machine, the intellectual sphere, the base – have been openly embracing and clamoring for state and rightwing vigilante violence if it is directed against anything and anyone associated with “the Left.”

A Republican elected official proudly declaring he has no problem with agents of the state shooting unarmed citizens in the face if they annoy the regime. It is impossible to make democracy work with a party that not only tolerates people like this, but elevates them to positions of influence.

If "centrists" want to run on "kitchen table" issues that mean something locally, here's $170,000,000,000 to play with!

Um, you're not allowed to go door-to-door hoping to randomly find someone violating the law. You need a warrant. That's is basic Constitutional shit.

Lmaooo hell yeah go get em. Tell them to try and stop you. You know why he can say this shit out loud? Because absolutely no one has stood up to him. And we had him on a recording asking those dudes in Georgia to find him 11000 votes. And he's back in the White House and not in jail. So.

It is extremely embarrassing to all Americans that the vice president’s poll numbers are as high as they are rn and yes I’m aware of how low they are

There it is in bold print. They fear becoming a minority because of how they treat minorities.

The more Democrats talk about this as a "distraction" from grocery prices or say similar insane shit, the more it normalizes what Trump is doing. "Oh, Dems want lower prices, Trump is focused on immigration and national security, which one will I choose?"

“They’re killing the moms, they’re killing the dads”

This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.

Setting aside the long term viability of that strategy, at what point do you start to sound insane when people are watching armed government gangsters running wild every day and the local candidate is smiling into the camera and talking about groceries

I should also note that 7 Republicans (Cramer, Daines, Moran, Scott (FL), Scott (SC), Tuberville and Wicker) were absent for the vote. Had these Democrats not gone along with the GOP, Van Hook would have not been confirmed.

The gaslighting is not just off the charts - it's in whole another galaxy. But, this is also a sign of desperation. He knows. They know - except for their MAGA core just watching their edited frames, everyone else knows the objective reality.

the government is telling you not even unarmed nice white lady moms surrounded by stuffed animals are off limits, and I’m sorry but: that is an extremely terrifying.

i firmly believe — like you would have to give me hard evidence to convince me otherwise — that they feed trump a steady diet of AI slop

Do not accept the idea that local officials can't do anything because the FBI "cut them out." They should run their own investigation. If the Feds try to stop them they should force them to arrest cops and DAs. The mayor should go on TV demanding the release of his officers. No business as usual.

So Minnesota is not even going to try to enforce Minnesota law because Dan Rosen whined???

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country. It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day. They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

I love that someone on here was like "it's not the agency so much as the people in it" and Bill Fucking Kristol is like "ABOLISH ICE" and if you can't get on Bills level well

It’s not just vibes and anecdotes, the Jan 6 pardon recipients really do have a statistically insane number of pedophiles.

I know pedocon’s real and all, but it’s insane the Jan 6 pardon covered ~ 1500 people and there are now at least a half dozen since arrested for child sex crimes. That’s one in every 250! Over the course of a year! I think Pitcairn Island is the only population beating that per capita rate.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

Honestly glad he said this. They are celebrating the murder, they are saying the murder is good and they want to make sure other members of ICE know that "shoot first" is appropriate and acceptable behavior. Not an ounce of an apology. They are happy it happened. So now what?

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf. America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

I had missed this. An ICE officer allegedly pointed a gun at a man in Chicago, and said (approx) "bang bang ... you're dead, liberal." In a functioning democracy, an officer who threatened politicized death like this would be fired immediately. Here? Prob never even know who he was.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Make it viral.

There's honestly been some pretty good news coverage tonight on TV regarding today's events. It's not a coincidence. Like half a dozen prominent Democrats finally came out this afternoon and said ICE is terrorist trash led by a secretary who should be impeached and it flipped the whole narrative.

Dems: get up out of your fucking defensive crouch and fight back, it still makes a difference in the coverage as I was saying earlier today, if all you can really do is yell, the quality of the yelling has to be better it was today, and it’s helped keep calling these people what they are

2026 vibe check www.lbc.co.uk/article/dani...

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?" If we only had some trusted institution that could adjudicate between competing claims by relying on facts.

"This is about terrorizing people." Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejects the Trump administration’s narrative about the purpose of federal immigration raids following today's deadly shooting by an ICE agent of a 37-year-old woman in his city.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

ICE is a "rogue organization" and it should be "disbanded," says Democratic Congressman @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social in an interview with me today, for 'Mehdi Unfiltered', reacting to the shocking killing in Minneapolis. Watch the full interview: zeteo.com/p/joaquin-ca...

another aside about DHS, not only was it badly designed by morons but its just fundamentally not a normal ~interior ministry~ its a Department for Fighting The Terrorists, basically institutional PTSD manifested into the organizational culture of two of the largest paramilitary agencies in the USG

I wonder how many reporters at CBS News were assigned to do this too

On this idea of a rogue, private police force, it's worth stressing that these ICE officers and their commanders are supposed to be public servants but are in no sense operating as if they are serving the public or bound to the law. They are serving Trump first.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”
