I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but this is why we hsti abolish ICE and dismantle the DHS. Giving them more laws to break won't help

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

Regardless of your personal political beliefs, on a basic psychological level the message "yeah we suck but what are you gonna do, not vote for us?" does not drive voter turnout.

Once a week there's discourse about the stupid voters who didn't understand in 2024 that democracy was at risk. Well what about members of congress who don't seem to understand that even today? Are they acting like we're in a crisis?

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. <Later> Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

This is Democrats giving up their leverage, which will allow Republicans to kill even their limp "reforms" and in a few weeks we'll just have DHS funded

Classic mystery fans! I just discovered this very silly trailer in which Philo Vance from The Kennel Murder Case (1933) meets Nick Charles from The Thin Man (1934). The gag is, they're both played by William Powell and the main difference between the characters is the jacket.

A few weeks back ICE agents ate at a Mexican restaurant and then *detained the restaurant's workers* and they're complaining about how they can't eat out anymore?

"Who's city is it Chief? Bovino: "It's our fucking city." And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.

None of these guys actually live like this, it’s a social media aesthetic they maintain so that if their start up does make it thy can pretend it was grit instead of luck that got them there. This is actually a model how thy want other people to live, particularly their employees

So what is the Democratic Party position, exactly? That ICE and DHS are preparing to steal the midterm elections, but we're going to keep giving them more money as long as they wear bodycams?

The funny thing is, the precise opposite is true. The standard the left holds Dems to is actually very low, they just can’t even meet that low bar. People on the left were excited about Tim Walz for a few weeks just for actually attacking Republicans and promoting free school lunch and childcare.

this is a 100% fascist impulse it's also pretty much foundational to a conservative upbringing, imo: they're repeatedly abusing their kids into obedience but also teaching them to worship and pursue status above all else thus: a throng of people who crave status/power but all they do is lick boot

It's so crazy that the Democrats can't do anything when they are in the minority to the extent that they may as well not hold office at all, and then, as soon as they have the majority, they can't do anything because they are being procedurally blocked in ways that leave them just as helpless.
