Very curious to see how this pans out, given that the owner of the PWHL is a financial backer of ICE

as a moderate centrist I believe in a grand compromise wherein the state security forces doing ethnic cleansing agree to reforms whereby they perpetrate 50% fewer broad daylight murders of whomever angers or distresses them and I'm willing to fund those forces lavishly to do it

YUP. Even the people who I know agree with me more or less, I feel like I might as well be wearing a tinfoil hat every time I talk to them about politics

Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.

Also also, 100% this
I really need people who see this to ask themselves what good reform is going to do. Another law on the books? A constitutional amendment?

What does that matter when the people in charge of the agency are hyping them up and telling them to do violence and that they are inherently immune if they do?
We should not fund DHS without serious reform. We could return CBP to border. We could require warrants for immigration arrests. We could beef up training and require identification.

The list of possible reforms is long. What's unacceptable is the current lawless status quo.

Well that's a relief and unexpected. Curious what the caucus has in mind for "effective safeguards against ICE operations," but I'm saving that worry for another day.

Imagine if institutional Dems blacklisted everyone involved in scammer groups that fundraise off moments like this with half the intensity they blacklist people who work on primary campaigns against people who vote to thank and fund ICE

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

A stranger from another country just asked me for a summary of U.S. activist resources & groups that they can copy & paste when they encounter other Americans online in order to help to mobilize resistance.

I’m moved to tears. There are people like this stranger everywhere. We must fight for them.

I do not just throw out praise for Senate Dem leadership, but this is good. It’s what we need now - Dems using their leverage where they’ve got it and refusing to budge. Make GOP own this lawless goon squad. No Dem votes for it. Support Dems who are fighting back now regardless of past beefs.
Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

A candidate who understands the moment we're in
Vance Bostic, a Democratic candidate w/ an anti-establishment platform challenging Hakeem Jeffries in NY-8, releases a message saying the US government is at war with its own people, has promised openly to attack them, and says Americans with training and capabilities should be arming themselves.
This paramilitary force has just murdered another person in Minnesota… How many times is this going to have to happen before we act on it? How many times can we allow our Congress to just keep talking in circles at us? The people have to stand united with the necessary decisions needed to be made ✊

Pretty big to not have those three. I'd assume Fetterman, Hassan, and Shaheen are yeas, but for the other 4 the bill needs, that feels like more of a crap shoot. But I'm bracing for Kaine, Kelly, King, Peters, Reed, Slotkin, and/or Warner. Maybe Ossoff or Warnock if I'm feeling super bleak.
Gallego confirmed he's a no on DHS to go with Rosen, CCM, and others.

I don't think any Dem Senator has confirmed they are a yes.

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

ICE just murdered the equivalent of an cishet white All-American boy scout.

There is only one protected class — fascists.

We all have skin in this game, and the sooner we all truly wake up to this fact, the fewer lives we’ll lose to these breathing pieces of shit.
