What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

Walz comparing the ICE raids to the Holocaust makes him going on that podcast and saying he hopes Tom Homan works with local law enforcement and does night raids so much more fucking horrifying, he's describing his desire for a quiet and orderly night Holocaust
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

That CSWE statement is both-sides weak sauce. NASW won't say or do a thing that's useful. We need a new national org.

I thought of Garrett when Alex was killed.
Oh shoot they've lost Greg Abbott! The same extremist who pardoned a mam who killed a BLM protestor.

Greg Abbott says ICE needs to 'recalibrate' mission after Minnesota shooting
The comments come as more Republicans are pressing for an investigation into federal immigration tactics after a second protester was shot and killed.

People at the Prairieland ICE Concentration Camp, located outside Dallas, Texas, are enduring freezing temperatures as the ICE refuses to activate the facilities’ heating systems. The temperature outside is a bone-chilling 13°F (8°F with wind chill), and the situation has persisted since 1/26/6

Activism matters. Public reaction matters. After the Kent State massacre Congress lowered the voting age from 21 to 18.

Joan Tronto's Caring Democracy remains an essential read during these times.
If people would like to re-dedicate themselves to contributing to the care necessary to sustain democracy, it's one of many frameworks they could adopt to build effective empathy.

the angle from the lady in the pink coat is out and it is worse and you don’t need to make yourself watch it but it makes it absolutely stone cold clear that this was a summary execution for no reason

I have forever regretted not letting the door to a DC office building shut in John Bolton's dipshit face
I refused to shake Giuliani's hand in 2022, and boy, did that feel satisfying for the rest of my life.
I was rude to Newt Gingrich in person when I was 8 and I believe everyone should be chasing a high like that

How should Democrats talk about ICE? ft. Matt Yglesias episode of the New Liberal Podcast
Is something I could not be paid enough to listen to. Godspeed to anyone who clips it

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

This decision from the 3d Circuit is a travesty for Mahmoud and his family. If it sticks (which there are ways to challenge and delay), it will lead to ICE re-detaining him. And they may try to re-detain him now, even though that'd be illegal.
