Every day he has power will be worse than the day before it. Some will merely be awful and others will be catastrophic. All will be bad and ultimately no one — not even his bigoted supporters or the billionaires funding him — will benefit.

We can’t regulate an institution or agency that is already breaking laws.
If you can’t enforce A, why do you think writing a law B will work?
Abolish ICE
Enough is enough.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

I think we're going to win for a variety of reasons, but making it a reality starts with elevating leaders who are not Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. They are actively harming the opposition and helping the administration tighten its grip on the country.
this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.
