approaching the problem of "roving death squads" from an incrementalist point of view is just a slow form of suicide

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

“warrants for arrests” is the one that’s really blowing my mind. They may as well pass a law that’s just word-for-word the Fourth Amendment but ends with “for real this time”

You can conclude that these people simply do not understand how negotiating works - that you start by shooting for the moon and force them to talk you down to something like this, extracting pain for every concession - or that they just don't want more than this.

Democrats need to be threatening their enemies RIGHT NOW, promising consequences for the future. It may fall on deaf ears but if it even makes one ice agent hesitate for one second, it could save lives.

they have the white house and both chambers we can't do anything we only have 1 of the 3 we can't do anything we only have 2 of the 3 we can't do anything our majority isn't filibuster-proof we can't do anything members in r leaning districts would risk losing reelection we can't do anything

You can tell by the way Democrats are operating that they're expecting the "vote blue no matter who" folk to do the heavy lifting during campaign season lol

Sounds cool and all, but reading between the lines I think the dems force their little "additional training and bodycams" bullshit and then a few of them take their turn falling on the sword and letting shit pass. Hope they prove me wrong though

Worthless party.

It’s crazy how simple it would have been to “beat” China in the coming technological transformation of energy and transportation but instead we’ll just watch from the sidelines and cling to non-renewables

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Anne Frank shit. Good job Biden for not locking him up. Good job Dems for passing budget after budget giving ICE and DHS more money. They won because you're weak just like they always said. The voters are not weak. But Dems are.

Vote blue no matter who though, amirite

"Unlikely" The fact that this is even a headline, and the fact that it isn't a "WILL NOT back" response.. We truly live in the dumbest timeline.

i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

Dammit

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom.

It’s just talk right now but finally some creativity and tangible ideas.

Liberals could simply not support this guy to be the next democratic candidate in 2028, but instead they'll just pick him and blame anyone that doesn't shut up and fall in line. At a certain point liberals need to simply ask for candidates to be better instead of just shaming the voters.

We love a Presidential candidate who collapsed like a lawn chair at the slightest pushback

libs are never gonna let go of the "we don't have to listen to the left or do anything they want/we lost the election because of the left" combo

I genuinely don't understand the point of the Democratic Party right now

we're in 1939 germany and the democrats are like wtf the gestapo need more training

best example i’ve seen so far of why rightwingers are intent on owned and directly controlling every level of information distribution, they want to control us all and how we think and percieve the world

Republicans are scared of the republican voting base. Democrats are scared of the republican voter base. The democratic voting base is taken for granted because democrats know they don’t have to appeal to them. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SAY VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO

Understand: these incidents are not an example of a failure of training, they are an example of a successful understanding of the true mission of ICE. ICE knows full well that it's the new SS, and that it exists to terrorize and abuse citizens into silent compliance. No training can fix this.

Lesser of two evils keeps the apathetic folk at home. Apathetic people being uninspired and not voting means the fascists will keep winning. Demand the democrats be GOOD, not just “better than maga.”

what normie liberals need to understand is that 2024 was a rejection of lesser evilism, and their continued support of a lesser evil will result in more of what we're now seeing. what aspiring d politicians need to understand is we aren't doing lesser evil anymore, so you're gonna have to get good

"The Democrats’ plan: TBD. There has been a lot of rhetoric, but ... the caucus is largely shying away from using its leverage in the appropriations process and threatening another government shutdown." “We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time" - Hakeem Jeffries

When we don't have leadership in our government that is seen fighting tooth and nail, and these indignities pile up, normal people are going to snap thing are going to get darker if our leaders don't lead

“Oh no, he’s going to give them an excuse to do the things they are already doing anyway!”

Amazing how many people were fired over Kirk for 1/10th of what all these people are saying

The crux of why the democratic party will never retain power for more than a few moments. Because they will never utilize their power on the same level as their enemies do.

To the sane it's clearly a murder, execution style, to the cultists, it's clearly a murder, execution style that they can get off to.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea. This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

They're trying to escalate. They're trying to start something so they can put it down violently. Why else would she say stuff like this?

It’s insane democrats have lost 2 elections to this guy

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...

It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

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

national democrats had a lot more to say about charlie kirk than they do about Renee Good, and faster

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

they were always going to defend this. they absolutely fine with the idea of killing anyone who oppose their nazi agenda. they’ve been intentionally advertising to and recruiting far right maniacs in hopes they would escalate this far
