Democrats should not vote to send another penny to DHS and ICE until we see real guardrails and reforms to protect the American people.
We cannot continue to fund a completely lawless agency that is violating Americans’ rights daily. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Evidence.
Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

🚨U.S. veteran GOES ABSOLUTELY NUCLEAR ON ICE:
"I've bled for this country, I've fought for this country—they're disgracing this f*cking country and what it f*cking means! They hide behind their f*cking masks like f*cking pussies! Get them out of here!" WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Injecting this agglomeration of sometimes biased, pederastic, pro-Nazi LLMs and genAI frameworks into the nervous system of one of the most powerful armed nations on earth is - and I don’t think I’m overstating this - a dangerous and terrifying move. Authority: I’ve worked in defense AI.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday that Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot Grok will join Google's generative AI engine in operating inside the Pentagon network, as part of a broader push to feed as much of the military's data as possible into the developing technology. n.pr/4jE0qJW

“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 is a good and valuable piece of reportage. Now we need someone to Nellie Bly the growing fascist army, embed with a corps in a blue city, and help us understand what ICE trainees are being formally taught in their symbolic 47 days. apple.news/AveRXV3vUTQq...
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We’re all finding out.

Vital reading for this moment: “One percent of the nation owns a third of the wealth. The rest of the wealth is distributed in such a way as to turn those in the 99 percent against one another: small property owners against the propertyless, black against white, native-born against foreign-born(1/2)

Hell, yes.
If "centrists" want to run on "kitchen table" issues that mean something locally, here's $170,000,000,000 to play with!
Democrats should absolutely demand that the $170 billion given to DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol to build a kidnapping machine that preys on Americans should be clawed back and spent on whatever their state or district actually needs.
