From what I can tell based on Bannon's comments, Chuck Schumer's position is now essentially that Democrats should renew the 300% budget increase for ICE so that Trump can deploy enough ICE agents to surround every polling station in the U.S. in November.

Steve Bannon just apparently said on television: "We're gonna have ICE surround the polls come November" and that they are not going to "allow you to steal the country again," and Schumer is gleefully talking about tripling the ICE budget in 2025. www.instagram.com/reel/DUXE5e1...

Most of this is deceptive, unenforceable, snake oil to distract people from focusing their energy on much more transformative change. And don't even get me started on body cams. They think people are morally depraved enough to support most of what's happening and/or stupid. bsky.app/profile/civr...
In the wake of the horrific ICE killings in Minnesota, many prominent Democrats have called for ICE to wear body cameras. Yesterday, @equalityalec.bsky.social talked to @democracynow.org about how important it is that we don't get distracted by meaningless & counterproductive reforms.

This document is one of the great political failures of our time. It must be immediately denounced by all people of good will. And it will be a major scandal if any "civil rights" organization gives cover to this capitulation to fascism.
SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE
Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country
Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed
We must rein in ICE

Easy for this to get lost amidst all the horrors, but it was a *long* time coming. The first UAW election at this plant was during the Obama administration. (And the UAW's history of trying to organize southern auto workers goes back many more decades.)
After making history as the first Southern autoworkers outside the Big Three to join the UAW, the 3,200 workers at VW Chattanooga have won a tentative agreement that provides 20 percent across-the-board wage increases, affordable health care, real job security, and more.

I don't think I could better parody the state of the Washington Post opinions page than an essay from a crypto guy and the legal academy's worst amateur epidemiologist that earnestly argues that "stolen land" rhetoric is misguided because of statutes of limitations on lawsuits to recover property

sunsetting due process because our quarterly human misery goals are lagging projections
🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

The Department of Homeland Security is using administrative subpoenas, a secretive tool issued without a judge's signature, to go after people lawfully reporting ICE activity or criticizing DHS policies.
This is a direct attack on our First Amendment rights and we're fighting back.

The use of administrative subpoenas, which are not subject to judicial oversight, are used to demand a wealth of information from tech companies, including the owners of anonymous online accounts documenting ICE operations.

In this moment, I cannot emphasized enough how important it is to understand what Democrats and mainstream news media are doing to blunt and misdirect outrage over ICE to "reforms" and talking points that are utterly fraudulent and that will only increase the repressive capacities of the government.

I want everyone to understand that Democrats are proposing not one thing that will meaningfully constrain ICE--and several things that will make it worse. But they also have absolutely nothing to say about the massive, daily violence of the DHS bureaucracy. Chris Murphy just ignores this stuff:

Yeah not only are these terrible, they bear little resemblance to other asks that party caucuses are making. I just got a Hispanic Caucus list of "non-negotiables" that has like 20 other things on it.

Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams
There are *already* standards on much of this.
The issue is DHS isn't following them!

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money.
And he was still threatening to kill someone.
