This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

TLDR; establishment machine Dems still refuse to look inward in this grappling political moment but also acknowledging how effective a progressive like AOC is but just keep moving the goalposts.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t apologize as she made her case to become the top Democrat on the high-profile House Oversight Committee. She did tell her colleagues that she had “matured” and understood that a leadership role required additional responsibilities to support the whole caucus.

Remember when Joe Biden called out Republicans on national television for attacks on Medicare, Medicaid and they booed louder and faster than one could imagine and now they are opening voting…to do those very things. Memories.

It’s giving internment camp. This makes me sick.

The long-term increases to ICE funding are a red flag.

Clearly, Trump & Co don’t plan to stop once they’ve deported current undocumented immigrants and “secured the border.”

We should all be asking how Trump is planning to broaden the ICE scope of authority. The answers won’t be pretty. 1/

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

One thing current events have shown is the media seems pretty comfortable insinuating progressive ideas are “radical” while the strongest term they can deploy for genuinely radical MAGA plans is “controversial.”

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.

ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.

Let’s start there.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

Remember when the GOP denied that they were coming for Social Security and Medicaid?
House Republicans just passed Trump's budget bill — which contains massive Medicaid cuts — over unified Democratic opposition.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

I'd bet most Americans don't realize the six Nazi extermination camps during World War II also involved rendition to a foreign country.

Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chełmno and Majdanek were all located in Poland. Not Germany. Important historical fact.
This is a concentration camp, by the way.

This is a death camp. We're setting up death camps in foreign countries and renditioning people there.
