As I've said, a lack of ambition is an underrated force of conservatism in the Democratic Party. There is no Senator trying to capitalize on Schumer's unpopularity, and no would-be presidential candidate willing to take the most obvious lane in the world right now. All are loyal to the country club.
i feel like the next US presidency is up for grabs for any democratic politician with enough of a spine to push consistently for abolishing ICE. they select well for cowards though so don't bet on it

President Trump didn’t just pardon the rampaging rioters who assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021, he began to hire them. House Judiciary Democrats demand answers from Attorney General Pam Bondi and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Have to admit I doubted the original posts on this - aside from the weird presentation I assumed there were lines these people wouldn’t cross. Have to stop doing that.
After a document leak from DHS outed him, Enrique Tarrio, head of the Proud Boys militia group, acknowledged that he was now an ICE officer. www.telemundo.com/noticias/not...
Enrique Tarrio, exlíder de los Proud Boys, dice que se ha convertido en agente de ICE
Tarrio, quien recibió un indulto de Trump por su participación en el asalto al Capitolio en 2021, fue detenido un mes después de su liberación por un cargo de agresión en Washington D.C.

They aren't specialists in violence they're just dicks the government gave badges to, don't mythologize being a thug because you're scared of loud noises
It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

Stephen Miller is doing Nazi stuff because he is a Nazi sympathizer... it just so happens to distract momentarily from Donald Trump being a pedophile.
Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.
i feel for the people of north minneapolis if they’re about to become a protest hot spot from outside the neighborhoods. this is an area often neglected and ignored by even its own elected officials. people not from over north should really be judicious in how they act coming over there
Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.
