Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

There's a particular abusive behaviour enacted by both individuals and organisations that I like to call "laundry listing"
It's when, instead of confronting you when you are perceived to have misbehaved or done something wrong, it is simply "saved for later" so it can all be dumped on you at once.

ok I'm gonna rant about something because I've had the same conversation about it with four different people this last week and it's getting weird

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.
In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.
Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.

Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

Seriously. Do not interact with the govt accounts. Just don’t.
So they're trying to farm a highlights reel of "libs/lefties are violent and evil terrorists" episode.
They're trying to piss people off so they can farm screenshots of anything that can even loosely be interpreted as a threat.

Hey, Autism is not a disease. While not all Autistics have food aversion, it is found in a lot of Autistic and neurodivergent folk. If you want to stick it to the people sharing and celebrating the spreading of misinformation about Autism, share stuff made by Autistic folk. Like my book:
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE deported a self-eating cannibal but provided no evidence. This plays into centuries of racist fantasies.

right like I’m sure Murkowski is scared, and that’s why she caved, but what she’s scared of is political repercussions or maybe losing her cushy job. it says a lot when they act as if that fear should supersede the fear of HARM OR DEATH that their party imposes on the rest of us. they’re so fragile!
Exactly. Sick of hearing about their cowardice how “scared” they are of the cult leader’s big lying mouth. Dems have been putting up with death threats, assaults, doxing, insults, harassment, lies since the MAGA shit started in 2015. But they’re still standing. Dbag R’s make deals for themselves.
