ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Just yesterday, seven House Democrats voted to fully fund ICE
If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.
NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207

7 Democrats voted YES on the bill:
- Jared Golden
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
- Henry Cuellar
- Tom Suozzi
- Laura Gillen
- Don Davis
- Vicente Gonzalez

One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie

I hope every blue city mayor is paying close attention to how this shakes out & developing concrete plans to ensure ICE can’t muscle its way into investigating itself when they kill people in that jurisdiction
BREAKING: The Tribune confirmed on Instagram that the man shot has died, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident.

ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, sources also told the Tribune. O'Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene.

BREAKING: Trump’s thugs just shot and killed a man in Minneapolis. Eyewitnesses are describing it as an execution.

We cannot keep living like this and people can’t keep dying like this. Stop funding DHS. Impeach Kristi Noem. Hold these agents accountable.

The last few years have seen the largest wave of immigration in American history. All those images we carry in our heads about people arriving at Ellis Island — we just surpassed that. Crime went down. Real wages went up. This is a fake problem. Enough is enough.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

on top of the “constituent” thing, Abrego Garcia was not an illegal immigrant! he was under a withholding of removal order, meaning he was living and working here legally
Pretty remarkable moment in Ross Douthat’s recent interview with Matt Continetti. In the course of arguing that “illegal immigration is essential to the viability of the Democratic Party,” Continetti expressed disbelief that Chris Van Hollen would call Kilmar Abrego Garcia his “constituent.”

this kind of panic is completely disconnected from objective reality, what on earth are they expecting will happen if the city becomes (optimistically) 10% more responsive to the needs of people who will never know anyone who has a line drawing of themselves in the newspaper

another thing McBride points out is that historically successful civil rights movements were willing to compromise. which is very true! but we’re not being offered a trade, we’re just being told to cede ground.
i listened to the Ezra Klein/Sarah McBride interview, and her entire position revolves around a completely unproven assertion: the idea what caused the shift in polls away from trans rights is the rhetoric of the left. that might be true, but i haven’t seen any real evidence for it.

Like every Dem, I have endless gripes about Dem messaging, but we have a genuine, longstanding problem of people literally not believing what Republicans are doing. They don't even believe what Republicans say they'll do!
This is also why a lot of people have trouble parsing the stuff Musk or whoever is doing to the federal government

"Why would you do this? It only hurts people, with no conceivable benefit to anyone!" yes that's why, they like hurting people as an end in itself
the biggest difference between the GOP of, like, 20+ years ago and now is that 20+ years ago, it was the party of "we do evil things because we want to believe untrue things" and now it is the party of "we do evil things because we know they are evil, and we like it"

this is fun, we can keep back tracking. maybe voters would’ve taken dems more seriously if they’d seen trump perp walked in jan 21! if biden hadn’t said he’d be okay if trump won so long as he knew he tried his best!
I mean the problem is that Democrats are like “we did talk about the threat of fascism” and voters were like “but my eggs”
Has it occured to them that one reason voters aren’t biting on the idea that liberal democracy is facing an existential threat is that they find it inconceivable the opposition party would be nattering about fucking egg prices if they really believed that were true?
