A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The general strike worked because it was organized by union leaders. The community patrols & mutual aid worked because they were organized in small neighborhoods and by people in schools where other parents and kids were vulnerable.

I keep thinking about something that people on so many sides of this have pointed out: the protests in Minnesota worked because of on-the-ground organization that built on existing, off-line connections. This should be tremendously instructive to all of us.

Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.
As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social should try to impeach trump right now. also my stance on only supporting candidates who support abolishing ICE and prosecuting those involved is stronger than ever
gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum
