Calling out fascism is not threatening to anyone but fascists.
Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

You deserve access to abortion care if you are pregnant and do not want to be. Full stop.
Your reasons are your reasons and they are good enough.
Abortion is healthcare and everyone deserves healthcare access.

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

It's very unusual to fail to secure an indictment from a federal grand jury.
There's even a famous saying about how easy it is to convince a grand jury to return a true bill.
But sources tell me Trump's DOJ secured zero / nada / not one (1) single vote in quest to indict Dems over a social video:

President Donald Trump had accused six Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" after they urged members of the military and intelligence communities to refuse unlawful orders.

One of the tiny silver linings of the absolute implosion of the DOJ is that, with very few exceptions, the lawyers left in the most corrupt offices (like DC) are absolutely the worst litigators of the bunch and the new blood is super green. It's like litigating on Easy Mode after years of Nightmare.

1) Abolish ICE & DHS. Prosecute. Shift immigration enforcement to pre-2003 arrangements.
2) Amnesty for all undocumented immigrants in the country for more than 3 months.
3) Decriminalize unauthorized border crossings and visa overstays. That means administrative rather than criminal penalties.

“Abolish ICE” needs to be rhetorically linked to an actual policy program of the sort folks On Here have proposed: return to essentially the 2001 status quo ex ante, shift immigration judges to article iii status, transfer criminal alien removal to grown-up law enforcement, etc.
