i think demanding schumer resign is a good ass thing to call your reps about
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.
Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week
Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Look, Bovino's firing isnt a sea change. It's because he admitted to smuggling a fucking murder suspect out the state and told local law enforcement they wouldn't ever find him. Like. It doesn't get more America's Dumbest Criminals than that shit, man.

The fact that they are making Bovino the fall guy shows that they are worried, but it does not mean that any policy changes.

It's a signal to increase the pressure even more, not back down.

there's apparently reports that we're gonna send ICE with the Olympians to 'keep them safe'??

1) that's a way to guarantee they are NOT safe.

2) IF ICE goes, I genuinely hope the bulk of the athletes walk out, sit down their gear, kneel, & do nothing else. Do not get medals for the US.

I genuinely had no idea about this connection so uhhhhh yeah I was hesitant to go to any Reedpop con after what happened to eurogamer, but I sure as hell am not going to one while this is unresolved.

In the midterms, remember this

Democrats that whine about “purity tests” are complicit controlled opposition

Purity test the fuck out your candidates

Primary anyone who doesn’t at least clear the subterranean bar of “prosecute MAGA and abolish ICE”

Otherwise winning is symbolic and meaningless

I would genuinely be disappointed if it wasn't the top post on NASCARMemes. Honestly, one of the most important things to get lost in the past decade has been the tie bt NASCAR and bootlegging. Too many fascist cunts think NASCAR is theirs but they're wrong and should gtfo.

This is what hospitals do. They don't fight for you.

We saw this locally when ICE detained a pediatric hospital chaplain, Ayman Solimon. Not only did they not publicly comment on his detention, they fired those who protested and were interviewed.
Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Bari "let's do the fucking news" Weiss, everyone
And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

What we know is that an anonymous masked gunman working for ICE is a murderer, so treat anyone matching that description as one
This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

i say this as someone with at least a mild background in cybersecurity — tiktok is now trump/fedgov spyware. you need to delete your account and app ASAP. just because the app isn‘t open doesn’t mean they won’t be harvesting your personal data to target you. queer folx get the fuck off that app

Can’t help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.
