It makes me really sad that this is part of *our* history now. But that's why it's ever important to stand up to it, to condemn it, and to make it known it's OUTSIDE the norm. He is the outlier. This isn't what we want our country to be.

Fuck this. Anything less than full throated public pushback and actionable at that is abject cowardice. They don’t deserve this type of fluff piece.
Senator Katie Britt of Alabama stands fully behind President Trump in public, but at times seeks to wield influence behind the scenes, guided by her personal values as a mother and a Christian. Her approach faces an acute test as federal immigration agents pursue aggressive tactics in Minnesota.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

A lot of criticism of the Biden White House is unserious. But the one unforgivable failure: Merrick Garland had four years to hold these criminals accountable but chose looking nonpartisan over enforcing the law. A catastrophic error that cleared the way for even more corruption.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.
