We could get rid of the department of murder and kidnapping entirely, but why throw the baby out with the bathwater when we could REFORM the department of murder and kidnapping so it will still be here if we ABSOLUTELY NEED to shoot a mom in the face or move a five year old across state lines.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

90% of conservative political analysis is just "this group I don't like does this thing I don't understand due to motivations I made up."

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:
Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

This is exactly what I'd say if I was the leaker.
During Bari Weiss's employee town hall at CBS News today, Gayle King gave a passionate speech, rallying the troops and criticizing leakers: "I'll be curious to see how long it takes for this to get out. 'Cause it'll be somebody in this room." w/ Mike Grynbaum

"don't start with a compromise" is the very first thing you learn about negotiation. the fact that Democrats always do exactly this is how you know they are a controlled opposition and not a serious party with beliefs or goals
Republicans seem to inherently understand if you aim for Jupiter you can usually force your opponents to AT LEAST meet you on the moon.
Even if Schumer doesn't want to abolish ICE (which he should), aiming for that makes dramatic progress more likely.

Chuck Schumer's starting position should be as maximalist as possible -- complete abolition of ICE, resignations of Bovino, Homan, Noem and Miller, unmasking of all agents, and prosecution by state authorities of the murderers.
Don't start with what looks like a compromise half-measure.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.
