I actually think abolishing ICE *is* worth shutting down the government over.
Grind all business to a halt in Congress. Nothing should get done so long as ICE is part of any funding bill.
THAT'S what you can do now, @democrats.org.

"things happen"; sometimes people are just randomly dismembered with bone saws. especially journalists who ask me mean questions.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

President Trump does not have the authority to sidestep Congress in order to silence local governments and non-profit orgs that do work he doesn’t like.
Public servants serve the people, not politics. We're in court to protect the bipartisan promise of public service loan forgiveness.

US states, nonprofits sue over Trump rule limiting student loan forgiveness
Several Democratic-led states, cities and nonprofits filed lawsuits on Monday seeking to block a new rule by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration that would exclude organizations from a federal student loan forgiveness program if they are deemed to have a "substantial illegal purpose."

Public Service Loan Forgiveness isn't a game piece—it's a tool that countless Americans rely on to make education more affordable, but Trump is changing the rules to target organizations that don't align with his partisan political agenda.

Most likely don’t have this on the Election Day radar, but felony disenfranchisement is on the ballot next week in Virginia, an unusually harsh state for denying voting rights to people with criminal records. Major reform may be coming there, and Tuesday is pivotal.

Chicago has the highest number of lead water service lines in the nation. WBEZ, Grist and Inside Climate News analyzed city data that allows Chicago’s residents to see where the problem is most acute — and how it intersects with poverty and race. trib.al/n4TkzEu
Where are Chicago’s lead pipes?
Lead water service lines are all over the city. But majority Black and Latino neighborhoods bear the biggest burden, our analysis finds.
