A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

I have since been informed that FEMA is part of the DHS.
To be clear, my take is that ICE is morally and legally terrible, and that much of the DHS is not really focused on "homeland security" but on corrupt uses of terror on its own people.
So, get rid of that, not the part that saves lives.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.
We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

It's because the Old Guard Democrats are just mild Republicans, and the younger are either not powerful enough, or Centists in waiting.
Democrats, whimpering: i-I-I don’t think we can get rid of ICE
Republican, groping a child: Say goodbye to the Department of Education!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World

Everything happening over there is incredibly important.
And it's a privilege anyone has to be able to ignore it.
But damn, I would like to connect with people and read neat things without having to see all the horrors that that one nation creates every freaking day.

I wasn't trying to annoy them. But it was too quick for me and I wanted them to slow down.
Despite understanding my request and speaking well themselves, they just repeated back the same way.
