Propagandists for authoritarian rule in the US should ask themselves why Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany, and his wife committed suicide in May 1945, after poisoning their 6 children. History is full of lessons for those who sew racism/discrimination and oppose freedom.

Agreed. Dem leaders, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, need to get a clue. Lead or stand aside for AOC, Jamie Raskin, and the others who are actually willing to give their voices to the anger and frustration Americans feel about the brutality of ICE/CBP.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

This op-ed confirms what I've been thinking. Prosecutors in the states need to investigate/prosecute, as appropriate, federal officers who commit crimes. Conviction can be a high bar in some cases, but taking such actions serves as a deterrent, since there are no federal pardons for state offenses.

Trump threatens war with NATO to take Greenland. He kidnaps Venezuela's president, but leaves dictator's VP in power, steals their oil, sells said oil & puts money in offshore account he controls.
