kind of wild watching people struggle with the idea that I think "US population" includes people who, for whatever reason, are not allowed to vote in presidential or any other election

Another women is up. Speaking in Spanish with a translator. Oh gosh she’s speaking to them like an angry aunty. “We — the ones who create the riches of this city — are being attacked and shouldn’t have to defend ourselves. It’s unjust. It’s terror. The community is living in terror.

New thread because I lost the old one. New commenter up. He mentions ICE’s wild surveillance and that it shouldn’t be happening. Says this city is 300 years old and we are fucking it all up and repeating cycles
“You will determine the number of deaths. … Minimize them.”

If you deport us, who will work for you? Who will take care of the elderly? Who will make our buildings? Who is going to do the most amount of work for the least amount of money? Look at us. We are here frustrated because you won’t listen.

ATTENTION WIVES AND GIRLFRIENDS OF MINNESOTA: MOVE YOUR CAR LACROIX INTO THE HOUSE
If you’re storing any beer or soda in the garage (and I’m not talking the garage fridge) that needs to be moved. Cans could burst with the prolonged cold stretch.
And double check you don’t have a random can of soda in your car either. That mess is a colossal pain to clean up.

ICE’s cruelty knows no bounds. Deporting children with cancer. Shooting moms. And now, using a 5 year-old as “bait” to detain his family.
It’s far past clear: ICE must be abolished. Congress should not give it any additional funding. And the people responsible for its crimes should face charges.

LRT: Looking at city police budgets nationwide and how any given policeman's union operates I think the real terror underlying a lot of Democratic squeamishness is they don't want to admit or acknowledge that we haven't had meaningful control of the people with the guns for a long time.

Well somebody said "defund the police" in 2020, the year they won the House, the senate, and the presidency, so you can understand their difficulties
Swing-district Dems will be called "anti-law enforcement" in their campaigns no matter how they vote on ICE funding.
Allowing swing-district Democrats to vote for DHS funding so as not to look "anti-law enforcement" feeds into the false narrative that ICE is enforcing laws rather than breaking them. It is an organized crime syndicate. prospect.org/2026/01/21/j...
