Placeholder, for comparing the progress of the cartel administration over the next couple of years.
This is an excellent idea. Quoting it so I can pin it to my timeline.

Of course you aren't. Which is why no one trusts you any more.

The Democratic approach to building back power is:
1. Avoid contentious issues;
2. Pivot all discourse to unobjectionable appeals like costs;
3. Leave moral opposition to citizens of conscience, who have lost all trust in the party, but hope they vote Democrat anyhow.
Wrong top to bottom.

ICE shooter Jonathan Ross wanted Renee Good to be scared, helpless, & plead for her life.
Yet, she said, “I’m not mad at you.” For the sadistic shooter, it could be a twisted trigger.
She never deserved all this.
RIP. Renee Good.

Speak for yourself. When transitioning to a fascist, authoritarian government your options are limited. You can take the slow, subtle route like Orban. Or you can make it a blitzkrieg like Hitler. It was obvious which approach the Felon was going to have to take.

In an interview with @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social, Blas Nuñez-Neto wouldn't tell us his clients, but did say we should remember that ICE agents are people too. (Can't believe this quote below)

![Nuñez-Neto recommended that protesters understand that ICE agents are people, too.
“I think it would help both sides to appreciate the fact that that’s a human being across from you who may or may not want to do the things they’ve been ordered to do. In my long history being in and out of the Department [of Homeland Security], it is very often what makes the news are the terrible things that happen but what doesn’t get reported are the … stories about agents bringing toys into the border patrol station,” he said.
“We’re all human beings, many of them have families, many of them don’t want to be doing what they’ve been directed to do … so it would help us all to lower the temperature a bit. I’m angry too.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nztbvvo2gl4227zuxjf7gog3/bafkreia3sqpgq4ufvy746ld4tuadfwuf7ul4so6u2wjhf5oggd6kzxibtm@jpeg)

Republican Nazis thought we would greet ICE as liberators. They fundamentally do not understand human decency.
Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.

Trump’s Own Advisers Suddenly Unnerved as ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn
So the president doesn’t like the “optics” of what ICE is doing. But there’s no such thing as sanitized, popular mass deportations—and this is by design.
