Arresting journalists. Seizing ballots. Murdering protesters. Detaining children. It’s time to decide what your red line is.

Democrats are party to fascism, capitalism and empire and have complicity in the last century worth of atrocities. Democratic leadership *in this moment* is treating a brain dead pedophile as a legitimate head of state and offering to fund his Gestapo. What the fuck is wrong with you
Love how former Reporter Against Disinformation Ben Collins has essentially turned The Onion into his own personal cog in the anti-Democratic Party disinformation complex.

I don’t watch it. I rely on podcasts and livestreams from the streets. I get snippets of corporate media here and there, but most of the time, I’ve already heard the story at least a day earlier online. They’re making themselves obsolete.

Allowing elites and corporations to fund political campaigns means they install political leaders who shape policy to their benefit. It is institutionalised political corruption, there's no other way to describe it.
Democracy cannot function under these conditions.

"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Of particular note is the "strongly oppose," a mere 32%. That's the GOP's hardcore base, whose views should be ignored for purposes of Dem strategy.
Every single person who might possibly vote for a Dem either supports abolishing ICE or doesn't care much if it happens.

Went out to a Mexican restaurant last night in West St Paul and ate a taco the size of my head. They had an entire side room where people were packing and delivering grocery boxes, and by the door they had votives lit for Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Parker is right, of course. What's extra weird to me is that so many journos have no problem posting shit that makes them look stone stupid. Like you can't say you're plugged in or that readers should trust you if you're actively showing the world you have the mental capacity of a bowl of soup
"They told us what they were going to do. They published it. They put it on a website. And when it happened, the press was surprised."
Hoo boy, everyone should bookmark this @parkermolloy.com piece & make sure everyone involved in media reads it.

This is accurate. Trump has not changed course. He is trying to contain political damage. That's it. There is not pivot. There is no shift at this point. Past experience shows the "new tone," if you can call it that, will be temporary.

If you don't drag Stephen Miller relentlessly and demand answers before Congress, step aside so another elected official with the guts to do what is needed can take your place.

Schumer has to go before he does more damage.
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.

So keep pushing. Anything short of ICE’s abolition isn’t nearly enough.
And I’d say that even ICE’s abolition should only be the start of ending the violence that came to feel “normal” under Trump.

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence.
It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.
