Here is the system map of my railroad. Do enjoy exploring it. As a note this is a *working* map. I have not done much editing yet, so please don’t get on here and complain about that. If you habe any questions just ask and I will answer! www.google.com/maps/d/edit?...
This is the thing. Look. I want ICE to be abolished as well, but there is no way there are enough Republican votes to achieve this. Getting restrictions (yes, I know these are already required) as an actual written law is doable, and a step in the direction of abolishing ICE.
Still haven't provided your theory of victory for how this lapse in appropriations leads to the abolishment of ICE
and those mutual aid efforts are worthless for actually moving the needle in a lapse, the only thing that does is banks offering 0% loans in lieu of the missed checks

"Mutual aid" for two million furloughed federal employees, at a bare-minimum $2,000 a month, is... $4 billion a month.

The fact that Vance and Miller - the most powerful members of the administration - are publicly socially intermeshed with open and unapologetic Nazis is the Chekhov’s gun of Trump’s second term, even if the press have refuse to acknowledge.

Perhaps the most infamous moment of the 2024 campaign - an open effort by Vance to demagogue Haitians - was lifted directly from a specific Nazi source, which he openly reads. Zero curiosity from our leaders about any of it. Nothing to see here, I guess.

It’s very weird because the U.S. and Russia were friends at the time! Like very good friends.
It really needs to be studied why Russian nationalists love the Confederacy specifically so much. It's so random.

you're telling me this national policy crisis requires a legislative solution? executive action is insufficient?
as democrats, if we want to get immigration numbers back up to a reasonable level, we're going to have to do more than just go back to "the way things were." we're going to have to provide a real, reliable, fast pathway to CITIZENSHIP.
The central failure of US immigration policy over my entire adult life is that it has always put xenophobia over facts. This is the result. And if we were talking about facts, this one would be setting off all our alarms. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

40 years ago today, we lost seven heroes aboard Challenger. As an astronaut who commanded the space shuttle after this tragedy, I think about them often. Their courage pushed the boundaries of exploration. Today, we remember their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.
