The killer of Renee Good proudly RECORDED THE KILLING. Body cams won't stop this. And "training" just gives ICE more money to train its agents to keep doing what they're doing.

Abolish ICE. Defund it entirely.

If @booker.senate.gov is your senator, please call him what you think. (202) 224-3224
THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.

About the ICE agent who fatally shot a man on New Year’s Eve while off-duty:

A court document "says the ICE agent allegedly whipped his sons with a belt, made homophobic slurs and racist remarks about Black and Latino people and brought a gun to a youth sports game."
ICE agent believed responsible for L.A. killing accused of child abuse, racism in court filings
A court filing made public this week claims that a federal immigration agent thought to have shot and killed a Los Angeles man on New Year's Eve was previously accused of child abuse and making racist...

An opposition party that can’t recognize the genocide we are supporting abroad ain’t gonna do shit about fascism at home
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

He's not even standing up to them. He's having them on his podcast. The premise is false.

But yeah: if you think saying "there needs to be a better candidate" should be answered with "well if you don't eventually vote for him you're the bad guy" you don't actually understand democracy
For your blocking consideration: "it's okay to fuck over trans people if it ~protects~ my rights, and anyone who would rather find a better candidate are losers" @minnesotaman.bsky.social
Candidates standing up to Nazis after getting punched by them exist--for one, see Kat Abughazaleh.

Abigail Spanberger was told to throw trans youth under the bus during her campaign. She refused to do so.

She won the election by 15 percent. A dominant victory. A landslide.

She was just sworn-in as the 75th Governor of Virginia, the first woman to lead the state.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

If a Democratic president had done something like this, Fox and the GOP would have turned Adriana Camberos into a household name à la Willie Horton or, yes, Hunter Biden.

awesome, as we saw last year figuring out the nominal goal is really important and tying this to affordable housing seems like a reasonable way to align everyone
The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

As someone from rural America, it's always so jarring that elite media thinks the whole community all goes to the same bar. Insane. Y'all know there are other bars with totally different vibes right? Even in Nisswa, you think the rural Americans at fucking WineDown agree with the far right bar? No.

To my point. Elite media keep writing the same story that people don't understand rural America as they themselves write goofy caricatures of rural America. If you want to share far right views from a far right bar then just say that, stop pretending they're representative. bsky.app/profile/sodr...

This post is very real. And what's even creepier is he's a big Gavin Newsom stan, for those of you ready to anoint Newsom the savior of the Democratic Party.

His feed is filled with pro Newsom videos. He loves the fucking guy.
Guys I think America has a far-right problem

we saw *makes the entire region a warzone* "don't bring kids to a warzone" in the collateral murder video, in gaza, it's all one thing, we have to stop it all
The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”
