"The choice now is to transform the party’s strategy to meet the scale of the threat, or to fail. In this contest, failure is not just an electoral defeat; it may be the end of democratic self-governance."

"The politics of careful positioning and poll-tested moderation have been tested, and on their own, they have failed to deliver the victories needed to protect democracy."

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

You are my senator. I do not want "reforms". I want ICE shut down. I want to stop the brutal separation of families. Children should not be in detention in horrible conditions. Stop playing nice with these GOP Nazis. My dad was a proud WWII vet that always supported you. He would be ashamed.

We are demanding the total and complete abolition of ICE.

Not mere changes.

Maybe pay attention to your constituents for once?

And let me be crystal clear. Training is not the solution. ICE must be abolished. Period. It’s just… notable to see how bad these men are at being killers.

I’m a constituent of yours @govpritzker.illinois.gov and while the sentiments are nice and all, stern words are not going to prevent Illinoisians from being murdered. Put up or shut up.

Abolish Ice. Now.

Defend your people or shut up.

It was YOUR cops brutalizing protesters in Chicago on behalf of ICE this summer. Up until this point, you have been complicit.

The federal government is murdering people in the streets. What are you going to DO about it @govpritzker.illinois.gov?
