It’s common and sort of understandable to see Miller as this evil genius. Important to remember he’s actually a complete fucking moron who, when he got a chance, immediately engineered a PR disaster that shitcanned Trump’s best-polling issue. Always the way with these types.

“Abolish ICE” is literally the MODERATE position in America today. Not even the position Schumer’s constituents are demanding. The MODERATE position is “abolish.”
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

NEW: Following TikTok’s sale to a Trump-aligned business group, our office has received reports — and independently confirmed instances — of suppressed content critical of President Trump.
It’s time to investigate.

I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.

I appreciate the Legislature moving quickly on a bill to prohibit law enforcement from wearing masks.

These ICE agents don't have the guts to show their faces.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Yesterday, I met with Maj. Gen. Gent Welsh of the Washington National Guard. We had a good conversation about what's going on in Minnesota and to talk through different scenarios.

Bringing up our National Guard is one tool we have to protect Washingtonians if necessary.

The current position of the Republicans in Congress: They would change nothing that ICE and CBP are doing, and they'd allow massive increases in funding for what they're now doing to go ahead. They're just fine with the current policies, practices, and governance of ICE and CBP.

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown.

Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

In the olden times, U.S. presidents tried to help America process hard sad events, with at least ritual nods to the solemnity of the occasion.

That would obviously be hard here, for a variety of reasons, beginning with it's his fault.

He wasn't going to a protest. There was no planned protest.

It was people in a neighborhood witnessing & recording public actions by secret police.

Gun-at-protest is a lie & distraction.

1. Wasn’t at a protest
2. Was disarmed when they shot him while he was face down
3. New gun rights rule: the second amendment is when conservatives can carry guns everywhere, but if anyone else has a gun we can kill him on sight

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up

so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder
