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.

You are not wrong to be angry. You are not wrong to grieve. That is what it means to love and to see the people you love hurt.
We must turn that love, that anger, and all of that sorrow into action.
We must rise up as leaders, we must be loud in the streets, we must be bold and not give into fear.

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime.
Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed.
I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

They don't ever plan on giving up power again. These are the moves you make when you don't think you need to worry about winning elections in the future.
Do republicans want to set up a situation where every red state gets funding withdrawn because abortion is illegal in the state. That’s where we’re heading here. The explicit coercion is something conservatives once supposedly cared about!
Duffy on the New York City subway: "It's dangerous. It's dirty ... they don't want you to drive your car. They want you to take a train. If you want me to take a train, make the train safe, make it clean. But if you won't do that, we're gonna pull money."

No, he doesn't. Randy E. Barnett and Ilan Wurman should be disbarred and removed from their positions for even saying this. There should be no mercy for people articulating this made up bullshit in the legal profession. They are enablers of fascism no different than the lawyers of the Nazi regime.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly.

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show.
But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

Jon Stewart asks why Democratic leaders think they need better messaging rather than better policies. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries replies their solution is "making the American people feel that we understand the pain that they've been in" — the exact thing Stewart was criticizing!
