This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.
Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”
House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too
“The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.

Yup!! Don’t fall for the propaganda that Signal’s no better than Whatsapp/Discord/Slack — there’s a reason serious journalists & politicians use Signal specifically.
just adding to the "yes, signal is safe" stuff, it's also super convenient and better than any others bc it is like, actually just a communication app. i have years-long ongoing conversations on there mostly in voice messages, it's great

Since September, ICE has shot people 9 times across 5 states. At least 5 people are dead, including 2 Americans in Minneapolis. But when we say ‘abolish ICE,’ we’re called radical. Meanwhile Trump has gutted USAID, the CFPB, the DOE, & more—without anyone calling THAT extreme.

Maybe small in the grand scheme of things, but I am very annoyed that Dem leadership's fumbles repeatedly force me to acknowledge that that Bill Kristol of all people is right about Dem strategy. Jeffries should make up for his failure last week by going on offense this week.
The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Y’all better not be taking Swalwell seriously as a candidate, cus he sure as hell isn’t taking y’all seriously
Where's Eric Swalwell? Not in Congress. Not at the Urban League's gubernatorial forum on racial disparities in housing, health care, and education either.
The House isn't in session. Every other major candidate showed up. What's his excuse?

The entire administration's position 48 hours ago was that ICE had the right to commit extrajudicial murder and they had the right to lie about it.
Hegseth explicitly said ICE was more important than the entire state of Minnesota.
Throwing their shock troops under the bus is a sign of weakness.

For the democrats, this is the starting point, the very bare minimum in terms of rhetoric. Those of you who go on and on about voting, don't settle for anything less than this when choosing who to vote for.
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
