I guess I should mention this Gallego quote when I next call my Congresscritters asking them to abolish ICE, huh?

#AbolishICE
Arizona’s @gallego.senate.gov : "I think ICE needs to be totally torn down… People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals, not the goon squad that has come from Stephen Miller and Trump."

I approve, but only if they take Oregon, too.
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

This just makes me want to blow whistles at the ICE thugs more.
Federal agents arrest a woman for "impeding"

A man nearby starts blowing a whistle while other observers honk their horns

The agents pepper-spray the man with the whistle, he continues, and they tackle him then arrest him

Bari Weiss has turned @cbsnews.com into hot garbage.

But it is good to hear that there are still a few people there pushing back against her bullshit propaganda.
A single anonymous source from the Trump administration providing self-serving, unverifiable, highly suspect information gets the green light, but interviews with people the U.S. government sent to a torture prison backed by expert analysis and reporting from other outlets doesn't make the cut.
CBS News report on ICE officer’s injuries drew ‘huge internal concern’
Anonymously sourced report that Jonathan Ross ‘suffered internal bleeding’ after killing Renee Good faced skepticism inside CBS newsroom

Abolish ICE!
Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.

Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

Republican Senators hate regular Americans.
Republicans just BLOCKED a Senate vote on the bill to lower health care costs for Americans.

The House has already passed the bill—but Republicans in the Senate are content to let YOUR costs rise to avoid making Trump angry.

The authoritarians need to be resisted at every opportunity. Tell all your friends and relatives.
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

I just saw this in a shop window while I was out getting my steps in. I feel I might deserve kudos for using all of my self-control and not buying it. 😹

I'm saving this so that I can send it to my Congresscritters at an appropriate time:
its funny watching dem politicians switch up their messaging between this app and child porn apps because all youre doing when you soften your language is piss off your voters in an attempt to appeal to a bunch of pedophiles who will never vote for you anyway

I went to the local "Fuck that fascist ICE goon Jonathan Ross for extrajudicially executing US citizen Renee Good" protest. I got a thumbs up and a "¡Gracias!" from a Hispanic dude in a landscaping truck. I teared up a bit.

Noem was at least right that what happened in Minneapolis is domestic terrorism.

ICE is using illegal violence and intimidation against civilians to create fear in pursuit of a political and ideological goal.

The political and ideological goal makes it terrorism.

Schools were closed today.

Come on, media: Why did ICE surround Good's vehicle if the originally stated intent was to “clear the roadway”?

ICE doesn't even have jurisdiction to perform traffic stops, which is what this was in deadly hyperspeed.

With no legal basis to stop her, it was straight-up, state-sanctioned murder.
