Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”
House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too
“The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

Once again saw someone calling Bluesky a "no fun all politics scold zone"
Once again it was one of the wave who came here in Nov 24 and turned it from "the fat cock Friday and Tom Boobadill site" to "the place where newbies say 'Orange Man Bad' to each other".

TECHNICALLY by legal definition, murder is premeditated and intentional killing. Manslaughter is when you kill someone without premeditation or intent.
In the case of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, “murder” is correct because both times, agents chose to draw their lethal firearms & shoot repeatedly.

Finding people online raking someone over the coals who you already know to be a weirdo is very gratifying. Anyway, here's the worst take you've seen today from one of the most obnoxious users on this app.
![Post from known dummy Erin Biba replying to a screenshot of a post reading "ICEschwitz," a play on words combining ICE and Auschwitz. Biba's post reads, "Do. Not. Do. This. First of all, Auschwitz and the ICE camps are NOT the same. We need to call them what the [sic] are and identify them accurately so we can fight them in the right way. Second of all, HOW DARE YOU do wordplay with death camps where Jews were tortured and massacred." It is dated January 24, 2026.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tyeaibmvv3y4n2iqugdwiv6q/bafkreibdbxhoywtr5wyxbysadtmpqzvbc4asqxclqlen3cfeswfqgchbwi@jpeg)

Minnesotans need to drag this man out of the Governor's residence by his remaining hair and chain him to the gates of the nearest ICE camp so that every Nazi thug who wants to murder more people has to go through his doughy body to do it
"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"
"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"
Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

This is the lesson over and over btw. People really want something they can believe in that they can put into practice.
I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

I keep thinking about the first sentence in this 'graph. So many of the MAGA people in my family cling to this notion that they are the "silent majority" while also claiming that winning an election reflects the will of the people.
They are TERRIFIED that they might be in the minority.

She’s a dullard, Jeff Bezos is a dullard. Zuck is a dullard. The paramount weirdos are dullards. A system of mutual flattery holds everything up but appeals to absolutely no one in the real world and so you end up with her cratering the ratings for CBS and there’s no move but to do more of the same.

Very bizarre to watch a whole lot of liberals suddenly shifting leftward in their rhetoric such that a number of things we've been saying for decades are said on mainstream podcasts and shows in revelatory tones.
Glad they're coming around, but if you want the gift of prophecy, read leftist books.

Clark and co. raise an alarming prospect here. Worth watching the full segment. The USPS is a lever Trump has proven willing to grab in the past, and he could deploy it in service of election abuse.
The Trump administration is linking its use of force in Minnesota to policy goals like obtaining voter rolls. Colorado faces a similar demand. The Secretary of State said no threat of force will cause her to comply. And we asked if CO can conduct a mail election without the USPS.
