Well the reason @democrats.org do not normally toot their own horn is because they nearly always only provide half-measures.
For example --
Need: universal healthcare and destruction of for-profit health middlemen
Give: ACA subsidies and lip-service

actually communicating “I’m here and I’m working for you and here’s how” is an aspect of governing that’s neglected by far too many people who think the work speaks for itself (or, frankly, don’t have the communication chops Zohran does)
this is how you combat the forces that want to make you fail

How I know Black people know white people better than we know ourselves:
Black people said we would set our privileges on fire rather than extend them to everyone.
Now we have evidence. In 2024, white folks voted away our privilege of not being shot by the government.
Equity woulda been easier.

Especially if someone like Bill Kristol can say "Abolish ICE."

Stop calling Alex Pretti a protestor. He was a legal observer. He wasn’t yelling or carrying a sign. He was trying to protect his neighborhood.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The people we’re putting in camps because of where they were born are infinitely more American than anyone in this administration
There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

I want every person working for or with ICE, at every level, tried for felony murder. This is now the compromise position.
I don't recommend watching the video, but I don't see how you can call ICE anything other than death squads at this point

206 House Democrats voted to shut down DHS today. 7 Democrats voted to fund it.
That’s like 3% of democrats. Easily fixable. No need to abandon the party over 3%.
However, 100% of ICE sucks. Abolish ICE.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
