I see some are now frustrated that I suggest some Democrats may have culpability for ICE's rogue behavior.
May I point you to the many Democrats who slandered calls to abolish ICE, or perhaps episodes like this – one of many that involved Democrats re-asserting Republican premises on immigration:

Why Are Democrats Voting for a GOP Bill to Deport People Accused, Not Convicted, of Minor Crimes?
John Fetterman, Ruben Gallego, and other Senate Democrats are not telling the truth about the bill they support and how it will destroy innocent lives.

In addition to all the other violence they commit and threaten on a daily basis and their role as shakedown artists for cash strapped municipalities, now women have to be worried about them illegally going through their phones and taking their most sensitive, private information.

This tells you so much about our society. Whether it's conservatives or so called progressives, we don't value the right things. Free, open, public libraries are a gift. People who work there care about knowledge and helping you find what you need. Fund libraries, not failed surveillance systems.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

One hopes there’s a serious, introspective, accountability filled conversation going on at the left and center left national non-profits about how much money they spend and how all their combined efforts brought us to fascism.

The entire MAGA campaign encapsulated in one unironic tweet.
This would have been a SNL parody just a few years ago.
Now it’s the naked official policy position of the United States of Fascist America.

The only thing that matters in this country is money.
If you have enough money, the richest, most powerful people will say "things happen" to describe the drugging, murder, and dismemberment of a journalist.
And it's not just DJT. It's all your favorites.

In shocking news, the Feds are lying. While you should never trust the FBI, it’s a whole new game with Trump.
Soon they’ll tell you organizers are terrorists. They’ll arrest a bunch after telling scary sounding lies about them. They might kill some people.
Don’t believe a word they say. Ever.

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible.

The past week+ has been really intense in Los Angeles. We need all of the help, support, & attention we can get. Feds are literally roving the streets snatch & grabbing vulnerable individuals. It's horrific. We need to do more.
Feds are once again ruthlessly targeting ktown & adjacent areas. This is getting really intense. We need to do more.

Hahaha, yes, for real. Someone build a time machine and say this to Van Jones 10 years ago.
Then come back to the present and tell the rest of these clowns to shut the fuck up forever: Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries, Elon, Ackman, Thiel, Yarvin, Klein, Yglesias, and so many more.

I agree electing Mamdani is the most significant electoral victory in quite some time, but let’s save a few superlatives just in case all the billionaires leave, all the cops quit, and Dershowitz actually shoots himself.

The billionaire class that owns your favorite team (including mine) probably supports Trump, ICE kidnappings and murders in the Caribbean. If they don’t agree, they are at least willing to ignore his overt racism so long as they make more money.

This is of course ridiculous.
But why do journalists ask Bill Gates what he thinks about education, Elon Musk what he thinks about the federal government, or Bill Ackman what he thinks about NYC?
Their only expertise is how to steal ideas, shortcut the law, avoid taxes, and fire workers.
