Dems have to shut the government down until ICE and CBP are totally defunded.
This is the basement of what we need right now. An easy lift, supported by the vast majority of Americans.
Shut it down. Defund, abolish, and take DHS with it.

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

There probably isn’t going to be some grand declaration, or 19th century style ranks and trenches. We’re just going to keep asking “is this a civil war yet?” because for most people in most if the country it won’t feel like one day to day. We’ll just sort of slip into one with no bright lines.
How close is this to a real version of civil war at this point? Blanche is the second most powerful person in the United States Justice Department and he's shitposting on social media threatening a governor and mayor with terrorism charges.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche calls what is happening in Minneapolis an “insurrection” and threatens to go after Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey over their “terrorism.”

Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

When we say "explicitly neo-Nazi" we mean channels that fly swastikas and praise Hitler. That's the zone of internet where DHS is apparently finding inspiration for their X posts. It's ultra unlikely they would have ever encountered that song if they weren't in that space, imo.
Our researchers found at least 450 posts on Telegram dating back to 2020 that shared the song mentioned in this reporting.
Nearly all the posts we found were from explicitly neo-Nazi and white supremacist channels. And a review of our datasets found it hasn't circulated much outside those circles.

“Even before Trump, this agency was riddled with excesses and abuses. But now that Trump has shown how ICE can be transformed into a paramilitary outfit that can pick up, beat, and kill anyone—immigrant and citizen alike—it needs to be abolished, not reformed.”
