if you can’t convince moderate voters that what the Trump administration is doing is clearly illegal and worthy of impeachment at the bare minimum what the fuck are you even doing in politics www.ms.now/news/trump-y...
A year into Trump’s second term, Democrats weigh impeachment vs. winning
Some Democrats say Trump has committed impeachable offenses, but they’re also trying to be careful about not alienating voters.

Danish parliamentarian fresh on the scene doing better retail politics than any American Democrat
Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

"None of what I’m doing is enough. But all of it, I reassure myself, is better than nothing. The most heartening thing about this deeply disturbing moment is seeing how consistently and forcefully Minnesotans of all demographics have been pushing back."
Thanks so much to everyone who has checked in about what it’s like in Minneapolis right now. This should answer most of your questions:
It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis
But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

"ICE agents suck and should be prosecuted, and ICE should have its funding cut" is now the majority sensible moderate centrist popularist abundance third way blah blah blah position.
Anyone who says otherwise—as many 'data-driven' 'liberal' pundits still do—is really just MAGA without the hat.

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

ICE shoots into vehicles because nobody's actually pulling weapons on them. But they know a vehicle can be considered a deadly weapon in court, and it's the only justification they're gonna find for what they're obviously itching to do.
This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.
