I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Still not over the fact that Brad Lander is the serving NYC Comptroller, rather a demanding position, AND a mayoral candidate, also a demanding FT job—& he found time to go to the courts to tell folks their rights & walk them past danger & the only reason we know is because ICE assaulted him.
gotta say, Brad Lander's really walked the walk in these past weeks and it's not something I'll soon forget

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

When something bad happens that's clearly meant to intimidate people into silence, the best course of action is to shock and demoralize the perpetrators by channeling your rage and grief into standing up and speaking out. Don’t back down.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

If you want my vote, the answer to the question "Do you support the Immigrant Trust Act" is yes, not random word salad
New Jersey should not be using our tax dollars to do the federal gov't job for them, especially when they aren't respecting due process.
Have the courage to fight it in court.

A review both brutal and deserved.
Its main point, that a part of the far-left denied the fascist orientation of Trumpism because they viewed their real enemy as centrist liberals is not shocking.
It isn't the first time, after all, the hard-left attacked liberals to the benefit of the fascists.

"Little did Steinmetz-Jenkins know that, within a year of its publication, his volume would go from being a triumphant coup-de-grace against the liberal tyrannophobes, to an artifact of the shortest victory lap ever taken. "
