Mainstream media is doing a woefully inadequate job of highlighting the horrors ICE is committing across the USA. My hunch is that is by design.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

MORE OF THIS. Thank you @billkeating.bsky.social. This is the energy we want from Democratic leaders right now. Please stop with the offensively obtuse compliance to "decorum" when engaging these ghouls who only know cowardice and cruelty.
Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System.
This will hurt our farmers, halt critical research, and impact students throughout Maine.
Once again, our state is being targeted for retribution—all because our officials are standing up for the rule of law.

Noam Chomsky: "Social Security is actually in pretty good shape despite what everybody screams about. But if you can defund it, it won't be in good shape.[...]That’s the standard technique of privatization: defund, make sure things don’t work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital."
Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

musk illegally seized control of the treasury and now wants to end social security and medicare and plunge tens of millions of americans into destitution so that we won’t go “bankrupt,” a thing that practically-speaking can’t happen
Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."

I need people to understand this kind of response would not have happened if people didn’t demand it. I cannot stress this enough. We need to be constantly vigilant and continue to push at every level of government.

Nothing justifies disappearing a person. History is riddled with those who thought their proximity to power protected them until it didn’t. Those justifying Khalil’s disappearance are traitors to our country. I don’t say this lightly, and I mean it sincerely.
“We have not been able to get any more details about why he is being detained,” his lawyer, Amy Greer told the AP. “This is a clear escalation. The administration is following through on its threats.”

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
