The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes. We must flood Senate Democrats’ offices with calls and force them to use their leverage to rein in ICE.

Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are.
And MAGA knows it.

If we want to change this, we have to see through the theater. That means supporting fighter Dems and holding accountable loser Dems. That looks like solidarity with Minnesota today, loud advocacy in the coming days, and primary challenges against weak leaders in the coming weeks. /end

Yep. There are split duties here. Miller broadcasts undisguised bloodlust to the base, openly relishing the sadism and cruelty of ICE's paramilitary warfare against Americans on Fox News. Vance sells it to non-MAGA Republicans and independents by speaking piously about law enforcement under siege.
Excellent piece. Though I expect Miller to continue what is mostly his role—with notable exceptions—of going on Fox to tell Republicans exactly what Donald Trump wants them to say.
It's now very clear that JD Vance is consciously taking on the role of putting a softer face on Stephen Miller's fascism. Vance is becoming chief propagandist for ICE's violent paramilitary warfare against Americans.

Some thoughts on that in this piece:

"Vance’s position is that even if they’re doing things by the book, they’re nonetheless here illegitimately. Period. We’ve seen this in other contexts: In 2024, he claimed that those 'dog-eating' Haitians were also here illegally. Most were here lawfully under a form of humanitarian protection."
