As we continue to watch ICE's invasion of Minneapolis with horror, I want to remind folks that if you haven't already, you should be considering what you personally will do if an ICE invasion arrives where you live. Don't put it off.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.

The reports coming out of Minnesota of the brutality of ICE terror are harrowing. What's clear to me, however, is that the people are rising up to resist this violence head on. Resistance is everywhere. We may be on our own, but we are not alone.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
