I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws.
But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them.
ICE must go. End of discussion.

Wayne Gretzky was a hero. He isn't anymore. I can't reconcile his support of Trump, when that person is attacking Canada. He remains the best hockey player ever, he's no longer someone, people can look up to as a 'Canadian Hero'.

I'll add to this that you can also be a feminist transphobe. You can't quantize your target or hate or fear in any way that doesn't use the language of misogyny to exclude members of any given gender even in a perceived binary.
You cannot be on the left and oppose trans rights.
You cannot be on the left and desire nationalism.
Once you start to demonise one out-group to bolster support for the state you open the gates to all sorts of discrimination and, thence, nationalism becomes ultranationalism, which leads to fascism.

As nominally left parties enact transphobia please remember that the German "National Socialists" worked on eliminating trans people¹ before they eliminated the Socialists from their own party².

There is a Department of Defense and a Secretary of Defense.
Neither has the right to murder.

This is an incompetent company. They have a huge responsibility that they’re just dumping on citizens. Not one of their ‘customers’ would be excused by a corporation if they experienced major life disruptions and expected financial leniency.
