Last night more than 150 of us, organized by @indivisibleri.bsky.social called on US senators @whitehouse.senate.gov and @reed.senate.gov to vote no on DHS funding this week.
The temp said 20 but felt much colder; we froze our asses off. But we still showed up.
Reed has said he will vote no. /1

Trump miscalculated. The regime seems to have assumed that the American people are as devoid of humanity as they are. But they’re not. Americans are repulsed by what’s happening in Minneapolis. This could be Donald Trump’s Waterloo. Let’s press the attack. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/lets-make-...
Let's make Minneapolis Donald Trump's Waterloo
It's time for Democrats to press the attack.

There are, I think, millions of Americans who are not Democratic-leaning -- politically, culturally, socially -- who are recognizing that "This Is Like The GESTAPO - HITLER Did this Shit" and are willing to fight it. That's very bad news for the fascists.

What the fuck is this bullshit framing. There is an objective truth to this, filmed from 15 different angles. When known constant blatant liars blatantly lie about something viewable by anyone, and other people say the obvious truth, you don’t have to do a both sides thing.

We need to be clear that this regime is sending death squads to murder protestors. We also need to be clear that Dems voting to fund these death squads 100% have blood on their hands. Any Dem senator who votes for DHS funding is voting for more of these murders.

They have him on the ground, they’re already beating the shit out of him, and then they execute him at point blank range. These are Nazi death squads. Fuck Trump, fuck these fascist goons, and fuck every Dem who keeps voting to fund this evil.

This is simply untenable. No rational, functioning opposition party would actively step in to fund the primary enforcement mechanism of the authoritarian takeover they ostensibly oppose.

My honest best take on what's happening with ICE funding. I got it down to 10 points:
1) Trump/Miller/GOP want more ICE funding
2) Dem leadership doesn't want it but also doesn't see a way to stop it without focusing attention on it.
3) Dems consultants say focus on ICE is a political loser.

I'm so disgusted that Dems may vote to fund ICE. And at the same time I'm so inspired by the people of Minneapolis. All our elite institutions have failed, but among regular people there’s a tremendous amount of compassion and old-fashioned American moxie. It gives me hope for our democracy.
Will Senate Democrats Vote to Fund Trump's Gestapo?
The Democratic establishment is not rising to the occasion—but regular people, in Minneapolis and across the country, absolutely are.

Mussolini had his Blackshirts, Hitler had his SS, and Trump has ICE—an army of ideologically motivated chuds whose new members owe their employment not to the state (being unqualified for legitimate positions) but rather to Trump’s personal patronage.

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position
That's always been true morally. New polling shows it's true politically, too.

Saying we shouldn't have a gestapo isn't a radical position. It's the only non-radical position.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

It fucking kills me that none of these kids is going to get the mandatory mourning, the required moments of silence, the Ezra Klein eulogies, the massive federal government policy response, of the guy who said mass shootings are just the price you pay for freedom.

The allegations detailed in recent court filings against Meta indicate that its executives have recklessly endangered children. In many jurisdictions, that is a crime. For @newrepublic.com, I wrote about why Mark Zuckerberg should be prosecuted accordingly.
