It is amazing how so many AI companies follow this pattern: brag a lot about destroying jobs in public, then act genuinely shocked and surprised when a bunch of people get mad at them over it.

It is VERY important to get your electeds to publish state "abolish" as it moves the needle of what will be a midterm platform point. If you want Dems to abolish when they have legislative levers, it has to be publicly acceptable discourse RIGHT NOW.
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.
