Once a week there's discourse about the stupid voters who didn't understand in 2024 that democracy was at risk. Well what about members of congress who don't seem to understand that even today? Are they acting like we're in a crisis?
If congressional Democrats were capable of understanding their role as an opposition beyond the narrow confines of their legislative roles, they could realize that you can actually leverage public opinion to demand an end to ICE operations without actually needing to pass a bill

You worms, what do you expect a party to do without power?

Demand more from Republicans on an issue that is becoming more unpopular and detrimental to republicans?

Do bargaining 101 and aim really high and work your way down?

Admit that a lawless agency will not commit to being lawful?
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:

° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement

° Create a code of conduct and enforce it

° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks
Democrats demand new ICE restrictions as government shutdown looms

I'm sure people will make me regret this but we dont need to let american institutions like ICE off the hook for their behavior. They didnt need to learn from Israel (or any other country) to act the way theyre acting. Im not saying ignore the connections but lets just pump the brakes a little

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

The only solution is to primary everybody. And to keep primarying everybody, until they get with the fucking program.

When we say "abolish ICE, abolish CBP, abolish the filibuster, throw Trump in jail" we're not asking.
just my gut read after watching a lot of senate business over the years — i don’t think the senate democratic caucus trusts voters *at all* after the re-election of trump, and that’s why the caucus isn’t budging on leadership. easier for senators to blame us instead of their storied institution

Do not under any circumstances use a non-CoTCCC approved tourniquet on a GSW. CAT Gen 7s are $30-$35, readily available, and are proven to work on massive hemorrhages. 3D-printed slop that has not been approved by any regulatory body will get somebody killed.
🚨 SAVE A LIFE IN MINNEAPOLIS 🚨

1. Stop scrolling.

2. Donate $25 to DMDM to fund a tourniquet for the North Star Health Collective in Minneapolis.

3. ???

4. You've saved a community observers life.

These 3D printed designs are FDA approved and 2x cheaper than alternatives.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

If any Democrat in the Senate votes to fund ICE, they are voting for the summary execution of American citizens. It’s really that simple.
Reminder: DHS legislation that funds ICE at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate and needs 60 votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday.

Murdering protestors is what dictators do. Trump threatened to bomb Iran for it — while he and his ICE brownshirts are doing it right here.

ICE must leave Minnesota now. Congress must stop funding them. And the perpetrators of these crimes must be held accountable.

more than any of the others I think this vote is particularly indefensible and we should be looking to get every single one of these people out of the party by 2029 (Golden is retiring)

- Gillen
- Golden
- Cuellar
- Perez
- Davis (N.C.)

It’s really hard to bear the contrast on my TL of regular ass Minnesotans doing some of the bravest shit I’ve ever seen in the face of state sponsored terror followed by a deep blue state senator posting: “errrm how does taking Greenland help lower the price of groceries?”

it speaks to how comatose Congress is that people regularly reference the 25th Amendment as a check on Presidential insanity when it's intended to be used in the event of like, a coma

impeachment is the proper remedy but Republicans have cucked themselves out to their mad king

AOC: So long as the Republican Party and the Trump administration is using ICE to attack American citizens and shoot mothers in the face. I'm not willing to have a conversation with them about any other bad faith attempts to terrorize US citizens.

The Biden Border bill was a human rights catastrophe and never again should the Democrats ever dance to the tune of the GOP on immigration or “border control” ever again
hey man you ever going to apologize for trying to shove through a bill that gave these people everything they wanted or
Read this story and decide if this is the America you want to live in.

ICE saw a Latino man driving a car. Chased him down and rammed him. Just because he wasn’t white.

He was just a guy - an American citizen - driving to the auto shop.
