Lucy with the fucking football my whole fucking life.
It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.
We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.
If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

I was in Little Village on Saturday and was left with the feeling that ICE is absolutely trying to break the community’s back. These fascists won’t be able to do that, but they’re sure going to try. Chicagoans, do an ICE watch training and be ready to help your neighbors.
This is why they were in downtown Chicago today.
"one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”"
Nuremberg Trials are the moderate stance

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

CBP/ICE was supported by the FBI this morning in Little Village, with reports of plainclothes feds seen in vehicles across the area.
This also included using Chicago FBI HQ for staging. Bovino is seen here doing rock paper scissors with another agent for the DHS cameras, as people yell insults:

I saw this man yesterday and it was truly heartbreaking. There was also a woman trying to drop off medications for a detainee who was turned away. These people are monsters and criminals and are relishing the cruelty they are delivering to the City of Chicago.
