My advice to every elected Democrat is to do the EXACT OPPOSITE of whatever Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries tells you to do.

I cannot stress how they have gotten EVERY SINGLE choice wrong for the last year, and have poisoned the American people’s faith that we are even an opposition party.

I am hearing a lot of liberals on this app who seemingly agree with leftist policy goals but not leftist strategy for achieving those goals who are nevertheless being incredibly rude despite my good faith efforts and I think it is a bad look for their movement.

Logging off. I would direct any other “do nothing say nothing” libs to please peruse my other posts and comments this evening. I want to bring you all into leftist organizing—bc I suspect we agree on policy if not strategy—and I find it frustrating that so many of you seem to want to kick me out.

To advance this tortured metaphor, many of us have been telling democrats for decades to build barriers and drain the fucking ocean to kill the tsunami but the party thinks they can negotiate the tsunami down to a minor wave
That’s why we’re in this mess. Stick your principles up your ass. When there a tsunami coming you don’t argue about the taste of the water. You put up the barriers.

Another way of putting this petulant spat to rest is that if you’re unwilling to make demands when basic morality and contingency demand it, how on Earth can anyone ever trust you to make them when you have power. Nothing can cover for your vulgar and obscene cowardice.

I’m very confused by how many people are reading this post to say “I did my part by voting, fuck off” and not “voting is insufficient if you do not continue to pressure the people you elected to do the things you elected them to do.” Maybe I wasn’t clear, but my point is the latter not the former.
Also—we DID vote! I’ve voted so many fucking times man. Obama promised hope & change and is directly responsible for Homan. Biden assured us the we would return to normalcy and failed to meet the moment. Shit a law signed by Bill Clinton is likely to prevent Minnesota from expelling ICE right now!

Dude this whole post is about how I ALWAYS vote and that isn’t working! You’re telling a public defender that his politics start and stop at the voting booth. Bro I fight for this shit every fucking day. Why can’t I demand the same of the people I vote for?

More of this asap
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

I will never understand a politician who sees thousands of people go out in -20 degree weather and doesn’t immediately seize the moment to meet their demands—particularly when those demands are just and correct.
there are people going out in the freezing cold and literally putting their lives on the line in defense of their communities and the multicultural secular society they believe in. not interested in what some online wannabe dnc consultant type wants to tell me what is and isn't possible now

Jesus Christ I am tired of this shit. Take your smug do-nothingism and jam it up your ass.
ICE and BP have 125% of the FY26 PB request frontloaded in approps every year through 2029, either you don't know this in which case you're doing the "bluesky is my therapist" thing, or you do and you're just cloutscreeching

this is a negotiation to get dem voters to believe this is an acceptable compromise. it's not. continue pushing for the abolition of ice and the imprisonment of everyone involved

Pathetic and cowardly. He’s telling you he prefers peace over justice.
"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"

"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this?

This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

As I was saying last night, if what's happening in Minnesota inspired you to get involved in ICE watch work, don't stop! ICE is surging in Maine now. Even when they're not surging, they're still active. Just because you don't see them in the streets doesn't mean they're not hurting your community.
Heads up everyone, it’s not just Minnesota. These fuckers are still doing their fascist bullshit across the nation.
Tonight, most (if not all) the Zipps bar locations throughout Maricopa were raided by federal agents. Community members arrived to legally observe and agents pepper sprayed the crowd least one location. Workers were taken.

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.

This is what the leader of the Democratic Party should be saying
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

"Just stay cool and don't make trouble until the midterms" is not going to cut it as an opposition response to a murderous regime whose masked thugs are killing people in the streets and then attempting to round up witnesses and destroy evidence.
