"You can’t bring 'transparency and accountability' to an organization whose agents defiantly wear masks while openly threatening citizens with deadly violence. More training won't help. The problem is the organization itself. Ending ICE is what will make Americans safer." — @playtyperguy.com
'Abolish ICE' is imperative
It's also better politics than you might think.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov this is what you think can be reformed? This is what you are voting to give more funding to? You are both shameful, feckless cowards and need to be removed from leadership and Congress as a whole.

If Dems talked like this regularly, we wouldn't have to focus on "how to win close elections in difficult environments." We would have a lot fewer close elections, and a lot fewer difficult environments.
Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups.
This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

Completely agree with this whole thread from Thom as a Marine Corps vet myself
It’s outrageous to watch Defense Secretary Whiskey Pete, a former Fox News weekend host with a long trail of questioned drinking and assault allegations, try to swiftboat Sen. Mark Kelly for reminding troops they must not obey illegal orders, because instead of dealing with that he chose to…

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Why are you allowing your police forces to do things like this? Tell me please how this protects the protestors. Especially since they single him out and dragged him out of the crowd.

The Senate Democrats decided the same day this happens at an NFL game to fold and give in to this man. Shameful.

I want to add this, because if you haven't been in this situation, maybe you don't know. When a cop in riot gear is shoving you and yelling "GET BACK," there's usually nowhere to actually get back to, because there's a crowd of people behind you and you literally can't move at the pace they want.
state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.
multiple people arrested.

It was inevitable that we'd see things like this. Why? Because in the history of our nation, the white majority, including of the electorate, is NEVER held accountable for their choices.

“FAFO” (an abbreviation for, “F—- around, find out”) may be a popular way for some folks on social media to answer the suffering of people whom they perceive to be their political opposites, but it’s poison to the journalist’s soul," Ashton Pittman writes.

1) The right loves to talk about regret when it comes to transition.
But they never offer policies that would actually reduce it.
Here’s one that would:

Maybe someone with the means to do so should take out a full-page ad in as many newspapers as they can that just says “ELON MUSK HAS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER”

As legislators, trans people have so many issues we care about and want to pass policy on (infrastructure, housing, healthcare, etc.)
But as TRANS legislators, we must first and foremost stand defiantly against the efforts of our government to eradicate our community.
