"We need to do more than stop the construction of additional facilities, more than just get ICE agents to behave more politely. We need to dismantle the current system and remove the possibility for it to exist again. In my opinion, that is what “Abolish ICE” should mean."
This from @andreapitzer.bsky.social is key.

I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

You could also say: the gap between what European leaders have been saying among themselves and what they said in public is narrowing. Which is a really good thing. That gap is democratically unsustainable and strategically debilitating.
Macron now refers to "intimidation or threat", explicitly comparing US behaviour in Greenland to Russia's approach to Ukraine. Sweden's PM says: "We will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed". Much, tougher language from Europeans than we have seen before, responding to the US escalation.

BREAKING: Massive anti-U.S., pro-Greenland protests have erupted in Copenhagen
Let that sink in, one of America’s closest allies is publicly protesting out of fear we might invade their territory
So much for the claim that “the world respects the U.S. under Trump.”
The reality? It’s the opposite.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
