"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin
My God
A simple ? from Wajahat Ali pushes Hakeem Jeffries into a crashout:

"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities."

Jeffries: "I don't understand anything you just said to me."

This "AI Thing" is yet another test of my will, another example of being sure I'm right but having a natural fear of being proven wrong. I mean, I might be! I admit that! But what I cannot ignore is the boosters of AI taking over everything are all sharing the same PR-type news amongst themselves.

How COMPLETELY have Walz and Frey just fucked every part of this up? What makes Frey feel entitled to a victory lap on TV all this week and to do THIS next week? What did he do exactly but say FUCK once and send cops out to bust their own heads this week when ICE "left?" Walz and Frey need to stfu.
We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

No jobs numbers from this BLS are real or true. Just saying. Books fully cooked.

With the greatest respect to the "he can't possibly surround all the polling stations with ICE" folks represented most visibly by @jamellebouie.net, who I like and respect a lot, I have to say in response: he doesn't need to. www.vox.com/politics/478...
Trump has a plan to steal the midterms. It will probably fail.
The nightmare scenario for American democracy is no longer unthinkable.

They think we're all morons
Why grant Trump officials anonymity to say this, when it doesn’t match everything we know and have seen on Trump’s social media accounts for years?

And when only a few hours ago, the White House press secretary was practically defending the post and dismissing criticism of it as “fake outrage”?

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are these guys law enforcement to you? Or lawless thugs that need to be treated as such and taken care of?
ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

Anyone who watches this is pathetic. Can't wait to see where the YouTube views are like a few hundred rejects.

Dude what the fuck
"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?

To whom it may concern: ICE and CBP haven't left MPLS along with Bovino. In fact, things are just getting kicked into high gear right now.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

No elected Democrat will ever save you, nor will ever put themselves on the line in any way to protect you. Ever.

Love how AFTER the protests, AFTER the Democrats held hands with Republicans to pass the ICE funding bill, there's basically a blatant murder in the streets which has zero cover to be explained by any sane person as anything but. The question remains: what are Ds actually prepared to do?

that's not just a murder, that's a lynching imo
January 24, 2026 at 4:24 PM
No car to blame it on. Just a horde of armed ICE stormtroopers dragging someone to the ground, beating them, then executing them on the street in broad daylight in front of other people. This is what's going on in the streets of the US right now. No nuance, just straight up murder by federal thugs.

If true, this would be the least surprising news ever to me. I've lived in CA. Newsom is scum, and liked by a lot of the worst people. He's your rich person's handpicked heir to the post-Don era, the one they're going to shove on us to calm things down.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social this is not law enforcement
Our city has been over-run by Nazi ghouls kidnapping people to traffic them to concentration camps and other countries.
Did you ever think you'd see the day when masked gunmen jump out of moving vehicles and chase families down the street in your own neighborhood?
FUCK ICE forever and ever.

This is utterly deranged
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"
