One of the interesting things about running for Governor, when elected, the current administration in D.C. will still be there, probably, for 2 more years, and I have to wonder what will be left by the time I get there and what we'll have to work with. ICE will need to go. Let's take our state back.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Trump promoting a death threat should not be dismissed as just one more of his excesses.
When a wannabe autocrat aligns himself with a call to execute political foes, it’s not just another Trump social media post. It’s another warning.

ICE are not “arresting” or “detaining”, they are kidnapping. They are a human rights violating group by any measure. Wearing a badge is not a cheat code for doing justice.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Americans are not understanding how serious things are with trump remaining in office. It was so disturbing watching Trump with MBS today in the Oval Office. He is totally delusional & he is sucking up to another depraved person who had a human being dismembered. World leaders know he is not ok.

ICE should be abolished for the simple fact that being undocumented is a civil matter, not a criminal one. And if someone does break the law criminally, that's what we have regular police for. We don't need Patriot Act level gestapo on our streets, we never have.
