The default position of the democratic coalition has to be this:
Everyone. Gets. To. Be. Free.
Everyone.
We do not throw members of our coalition to the fashy wolves.
We do not concede that some state-sanctioned bigotry is okay.
Nope.
None of that shit.
We. All. Get. To. Be. Free.
That's it.

You know what would be great?
If, in response to government violence against regular peaceful citizens, the local police DIDN'T feel the need to strap on their riot gear and commit violence against regular peaceful citizens.

there’s really no reason to think anyone who supported anything short of abolishing ice the past ten years isn’t going to go straight back to We Just Need Better Training when a dem is in office again. better to make that politically untenable before the campaigns even officially start

An administration that has empowered actors/officials to brazenly break and defy laws is not going to be intimidated by the “tough” words of politicians whose only responses are calls for that admin to follow laws, calls for civility, or directing their ire at protestors/those willing to fight back.

Maybe now is a good time to remind folks that Elissa Slotkin was one of the 7 Senate Democrats who voted to confirm Kristi Noem.
Once you remember that, the fact that she’s making excuses for ICE and equating them with law enforcement makes a lot more sense.

Gavin Newsom, apparently: "I really can't decide if I want to be President. Like, the perks sound nice but can't I just pretend to be Bill Clinton part deux for a little while longer?"
Newsom's already calling for a joining of hands with the Nazis and let atrocities be bygones.

In light of what happened to Renee Good, I thought it important to reiterate my grandmother's advice.
My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

Dear dickless DHS agents,
It turns out that there's a shit-ton more of us than there are of you. It's really hard to play cosplay cops when you've turned the WHOLE FUCKING CITY against you.
Course, now it's not just a city. It's the whole fucking country turning against you murderous bastards.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

ICE is not aligned with any lawful rules of engagement. They don't need a valid reason to get violent. They have shown time and time again that they do not care about laws.

Both FIFA and the IOC are run by cowards who love authoritarian regimes, so they won't...
but honestly neither the World Cup nor the Olympics should come to the United States until we've purged the fascists from our government.
And I say that as an Angelino. We're the host city for Summer 2028.

One of the takeaways of my current book is that the ability of the federal government to exert real power in domestic settings has always been largely overblown.
They don’t have the juice or manpower for it. This is not late 1930s Germany. There is no state monopoly on media. They are wildly unpopular.
The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.
