Oh, the pearl-clutching that will commence when future US leaders take steps to remove Trump constructions in DC. "How could you insult..." and "you have to accept that..." and on and on.
Ignore it. These are aberrations, illegal, a stain.

People like this think *you’re* a coward because *they* are cowards and have no theory of mind.
Yeah and put a masked armed ICe Nazi around the right 15000 polling places could depress enough votes
Always remember THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS. In the realm of Online, they can just say things and have them treated as true. In the realm of Real Life, there are 115,000 polling places in America and DHS has like 15,000 dudes total.

Should these freaks get confirmed, it’s critical that Democrats remove them from the bench by any means necessary.
Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"

Democrats will now get the fight they should want: a hardball negotiation over DHS funding alone. And it looks like they're in a pretty strong position.

Fascists will tell outrageous lies to your face, on purpose, in order to test whether you’re so committed to civility that you won’t breach decorum and call them out on it. If you don’t, they consider that a win. If you do, they’ll immediately flip to being a victim and whine about your rudeness.

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars.

what I keep trying to communicate to the people who are Mad Online From Afar that we aren't doing cool opsec stuff in Minnesota is that we've got people named *Tippy Amundson* who are the vice-chair of the Norwegian Heritage Society in their leafy suburb out on patrol
When an ICE agent detaining them began to seize, the women urged the other officers to call 911 and let them help.
“To do that, I had to take his weapon that was on his hip and move it around to the front of his body,” said Tippy Amundson. “Nobody stopped me from touching that weapon at all.”

I don’t think centralization is particularly necessary here because OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RESPONSE NETWORKS ARE NOT A POLITICAL ORGANIZATION but he’s 100% correct that the fetishization of anonymity over the core goal, spreading information, is strangling their effectiveness
Absolutely incredible that PissPigGranddad went to MPLS to checkout the RR networks, community defense work and he basically recites my entire pitch for what is happening, lambasting the fetishization of opsec, and the need for centralization if you want a politics that can handle escalation.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.
Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.
