"To those at DHS and in this chamber who have created and rewarded a culture of murder, I ask you the same question that God asked Cain: What have you done?!"
Yesterday, ICE murdered an American citizen.
The only way to prevent future horrors is to prosecute and ensure full accountability up the entire chain of command.

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.
It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.
They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Always a good idea to turn off auto-play videos; choose what you see and what you don't.
if you do not want to watch the video, go to settings > content and media and uncheck the "autoplay videos and gifs" box right now

Maybe I’m overreacting but this is straight up an existential crisis on the entire question of federalism, no?

After this quote is a bit of framing Pritzker has notably been using more: he goes through and names how "we can't rely" on all three branches of the federal government to have any loyalty to the Constitution. The implication of who else that leaves in the American system of government isn't subtle.
Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.
So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

i am once again saying that if you allow polling to define rights, you don't have any real rights at all
the problem with the "trans sports participation is a loser / 80-20 issue" framing is that it ignores how it got that way. it didn't just happen out of nowhere. It's been a 5+ year campaign by Republicans to make it an 80-20 issue, and noone fought back.
