@klobuchar.senate.gov hi Klob staff, I’m convinced that your boss has no idea that this type of abuse is being perpetrated by the feds. Surely the senator would have used their fame and power to get in front of a camera and convey that they were doing something. @mprnews @stribrooks.bsky.social
In a document unsealed tonight, here is a declaration from last June from Carlos Alexander Osorto, one of the previously detained named plaintiffs in Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem, the case that resulted in the SCOTUS order allowing racial profiling of Latinos working low-wage jobs, aka Kavanaugh stops.

Senator Ruben Gallego says no to DHS money as long as Stephen Miller is in office:
“Stephen Miller is the brains behind the most unhinged and depraved policies we’ve seen in generations…. No funding DHS with that creep calling the shots.”

Does literally anybody actually like Stephen Miller, beyond *maybe* his wife and definitely not including his actual family? What is this guy’s constituency, exactly?
Katie Miller is now jumping in to blame CBP and defend her husband.
(All of this shows how vulnerable Stephen Miller is, so we need to keep the pressure on to get him out of the administration.)

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.

MAGA is defined by its total lack of a theory of mind for its enemies, and the fact that DHS and ICE still haven't wrapped their brains around the fact that their opponents also are able to highly effectively use the Internet to message, organize, and communicate really highlights that.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.
