Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out.
Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position, or it’s our job to make it the moderate position.
Abolition was impossible before it was common sense.
Civil rights were impossible before they it became common sense.
Abolishing ICE is possible and that's what we should push for.

Moderate Dems are just never going to get on board with abolish ICE, especially after abolish-coded rhetoric in 2020 mostly failed, and given their consistent conservatism on immigration enforcement. So might as well as at least try to figure out what other pathways are out there.

When you’ve never met a Black person.
Before Trump, law enforcement were trained to behave professionally. At a traffic stop they would start with words such as "Mam, may I see your drivers license and registration."
ICE evidently trains their goons to start a stop with screamed profanity, quickly followed by violence.

Republicans could remove Trump from office and they would still get everything they want without worrying about the potential for war with NATO and ICE attacking Americans. That they aren’t removing him means they’re cowards or fascists.

We should applaud Democratic officials who didn't "wait and see" after killing of Renee Good by Trump's ICE and instead loudly slammed this as murder. Result was Trump/MAGA didn't get to control narrative like usual. That's why MAGA world has been so outraged. We need more of this from Democrats!

This. On everything. With your uncle. With your coworkers. With anyone you know who supports anything. Make them say it out loud--WHY? Don't take the first answer--ok, but why? But why? But why? Make them go through every fig leaf until all that's left is "because I hate"

This is why we need to rebuild union power.
Strong unions serve as a countervailing force to runaway corporate power and ensure workers share in the profits their labor creates.
Otherwise, the rich eat up a larger and larger share of the pie — like this:
