New - Chuck Schumer to haters: “The answer to these critics is to win. If we win back the Senate, that will answer every question"

Peltola “was the last piece to the puzzle"

He says Dem path to Senate is Ohio, Alaska, Maine and NC. Dems are watching Texas/Iowa

I love how the one unmasked senior ICE guy is like "actually 90% of this community supports our actions" and then you see this video where 90% of the community materializes out of nowhere and tells them to go fuck themselves. ICE agents peeling out to go get consolation Dairy Queen after this

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

all the posts you’ve been seeing over the past few days saying that ice abolition is an Extreme Position? that’s consent manufacturing for this
ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

We could have paid teachers at any time.

We could have simply offered a dignified wage to do any of the work we need done at any time.

San Fransisco could be clean right now.

It was always a matter of political will.
