Can you guys show me active, sitting politicians who are saying “abolish ICE” in 2026? Not “reign in” not deescalate or budget cut or reform. Who is standing up and outright saying abolish? Anyone?

Ken Klippenstein managing to do more actual journalism with a Substack, a Signal account, and not much else than the entire staff of the NYT and WaPo put together is incredibly depressing
Leaked documents about ICE deployment to Minneapolis suggests they're more worried about the backlash to Renee Good's death than they're letting on:

The song "what's my age again" is older than ICE
I know Americans have the collective memory of a goldfish, but I feel like if we chose to, we could emphasize that ICE and DHS are less than a quarter century old. They are not deep-rooted American institutions. It was the *creation* of ICE that was radical and, we now know, dangerous.

Happy birthday to my baby! We thrifted a jacket and got his piercings redone yesterday (they closed up after surgery). Today we are driving to see some trees. Also making cupcakes. I love this kid.
Ray is 21 tomorrow!! Help me get him out of medical debt (or just buy him a skein of yarn). He’s got venmo/paypal too. CA is just easiest. Message for info. A repost is always appreciated.
