Abolish ICE, abolish DHS!

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed and the country is paying the price for her malevolence and incompetence.
She must answer for DHS’s violent and illegal policies and practices.
Which have already claimed too many lives.

This excerpt from @adamserwer.bsky.social's latest points to something that Alex Pretti's vocation as a nurse brought to mind: What we're seeing in Minneapolis is resistance, but resistance based on care.
I've said before that what we need is a care economy. What we're getting is a care resistance.

He thought he was going to die 5 days before he was killed, and he went right back out there. Alex Pretti was a true hero.
CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

The Department of Homeland Security was a mistake founded on knee-jerk xenophobia
All the changes in agencies dealing with immigrants, asylum seekers, & refugees were mistakes fed on collective anger & fear
Many of us tried to raise the alarm then
This cannot be reformed, only dismantled

Voting matters, but it isn’t what matters most. And distilling everything to “blue team will save you from red team” is how we end up here. Do the real work. Voting follows that, not leads.

my father's 85+ year old friend with dementia just got stuck behind ICE trucks in Minnesota, saw them go into a building, he got out of his car and started filming and blowing his whistle and was quickly joined by ~30 people

I was 20, which means my entire childhood we didn’t have any of this & we were fine. And if someone says 9/11, the ratio of actual safety threats found to number of freedoms curtailed is so low as to be absolutely ridiculous.
Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.
