Some of today’s Democrats aspire to return us to some pre-Trump “normal.” But for millions of Americans, that isn’t nearly good enough.
The country needs a Democratic Party that seeks to create a new and far better “normal”—and that’s willing to fight the people standing in the way. trib.al/dU41NLe

Today’s Democrats could aspire just to return us to some pre-Trump “normal.” But for millions of Americans, that isn’t nearly good enough. The country needs a Democratic Party that seeks to create a new and far better “normal”—and that’s willing to fight the people standing in the way.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"
No you don't.
If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin 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!

Similarly, the point of "First They Came" is not "when they came for me, that's when it was bad."
They point is everyone should oppose them when they first start coming for people, even if it's not anyone you know or like. Because if you don't, things usually get worse from there.
