If you're a Minnesotan, I urge you to join tomorrow's Ice Out For Good economic blockout and exercise your collective power.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.
Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

There's nothing "moderate" about voting to give billions more to Trump's lawless and murderous secret police force. This is a morally repugnant and politically reckless vote by members who embarrass and weaken the Democratic Party.

They of course have been some of Trump's biggest donors.

Biden promised normalcy, but normalcy died in 2016. Like Commodus who destroyed Rome through corrupt appointments, loyalty purges, and economic ruin, Trump is systematically dismantling institutions. The longer we're Trumpified, the greater the risk.

ICE Melts Under Noem’s Shadow
ICE isn’t just losing support; it’s imploding under its own cruelty, incompetence, and Kristi Noem’s vanishing act, leaving America questioning who the real threat is.
