Whenever I see doom-posts on here lamenting how all is lost before Trump is even sworn in, I think of this image, taken in February 2022 right after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began. Russia thought they’d take the country in 3 days. It’s been nearly 3 years and they’re no closer. Buck up people.

this is a deliberate, obvious, ham-handed coverup by an administration that hopes to use it to provoke even more violent confrontations to feed their social media addiction
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

most straightforward way to fix this is to primary every democrat who won’t vote to defund/abolish DHS/ICE/CBP. not just this year, but in the coming years.

It's also factually wrong. According to polling, Americans do not approve of ICE and do not support Trump's deportations. The 2024 election was not an up-or-down vote on a $1.3 trillion ICE budget
In 1933 a plurality of Germans voted for the NSDAP -- winning an election doesn't make your actions moral.

ICE abolition is a litmus test for Dem presidential candidates. “Reforming” ICE in 2029 makes as much sense as “reforming” the Gestapo after World War II. It needs to be abolished, with immigration enforcement properly scoped and returned to the Treasury Department.

What the Good murder has galvanized is that the decent citizens of America are done playing games. And we will demand Dem leaders stop as well. It is our moment in history and we will seize it or history judge us accordingly.

Imagine writing this the day after ICE goons murdered someone in the street - with the president’s approval - and four days after the US invaded another country and kidnapped its leader.

Minnesotans deserve better than Amy Klobuchar.
By refusing to coordinate with local law enforcement, ICE is not making our community safe. It is making it less safe.

Reminder that this country got along just fine without ICE and DHS, which were created in 2002 by Congress to show they were “doing something” after 9/11. But the lack of ICE or DHS had nothing to do with 9/11, and there is no reason either needs to exist now.

It’s amazing what a megaphone can do when you decide to use it. Trump learned 10+ years ago that you can mainstream almost any idea if you say ad nauseam with confidence.
ICE is a a roving squad of violent thugs. Say it. Then say it again. And again. Don’t be afraid. People will listen and act.

There's honestly been some pretty good news coverage tonight on TV regarding today's events. It's not a coincidence.
Like half a dozen prominent Democrats finally came out this afternoon and said ICE is terrorist trash led by a secretary who should be impeached and it flipped the whole narrative.

Tom Nichols wants to abolish ICE and DHS too. It’s not a fringe position; it’s a requirement to fix our democracy.
Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
For the love of all that is decent and holy: abolish ICE
