“So the question isn’t why Democrats are shutting down the government. The question is why Republicans are so supportive of what ICE is doing that they would rather shut down the government than change ICE’s behavior.”

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

Feels like ICE is trying to use Ye Old 20th Century Death Squad techniques, except they totally failed to account for the fact that social media is ubiquitous now and the regime still has basically 0 effective control over "bystanders posting constant video online of death squad movements."

Echoing the pope’s moral warnings, Tobin says the “lawless organization” is perpetuating a “machinery of death.”

This marks the first time a senior Church leader has explicitly called for ICE to be defunded. More are expected in the coming days.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

And even more excuse not to vote for the DHS funding bill
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

There is a lot of darkness right now so please enjoy the wailing and gnashing of teeth from this right wing influencer from the Tucker Carlson network who seems to have gotten the first tip that Bovino was being demoted and removed from Minnesota
