Still a great day to tell your reps to Abolish ICE! Particularly Chuck Schumer, who sucks!
Tomorrow morning is a great time to call your reps and tell them to abolish ICE. I wrote a script you can use. And no, this is not a joke, it really is that simple.

Tremendously disappointing and misses the inflection point we’re at. Can’t convince me this is a win or sound governance at this point. A 5 point plan tested by consultants so that Dems don’t appear “soft”.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

"Non-violent tactics that waste a company’s time or money are really effective. For Enterprise, we’ve made and cancelled car reservations, saying the roads are too icy. At Home Depot... people [lined] up to buy ice scrapers and then getting in line to return them, in a way that clogs the lines."
"We had one hotel publicly refuse to house ICE, which became a big national news story when DHS went after them. That’s a hotel we were targeting, and it was mostly because of our pressure. We had two more hotels temporarily shut down to avoid housing ICE..."

We need to remember and act on this
People have had to sacrifice every aspect of their stability to hide from ICE. They lost jobs. They closed businesses. They used up every last bit of their savings—if they had any to begin with. And some people were taken anyway.

If ICE leaves tomorrow, there will still be communities in crisis.

Hahaha, MAGA you puny bitches, I was second in charge of a multi-day, multi-stage festival of goth/industrial bands, artists, fashion designers, and DJs, pulled together with zero money, one billion tons of ego, literal clothespins, and 25-pg checklists on a clipboard. Nerds INVENTED logistics.
Aging indie/punk people, romance people &zine people, activists ofc too, all kinds of creative & resourceful people, we're talking & having ideas & doing the thing. "Who's paying for this" wingnuts scream. LOL babe that's cute. we're used to doing something cool for no money, powered partly by spite

The Bovino demotion is seriously welcome news, but please keep up your calls to your Senators.

DO NOT let any of them point at his demotion as a sign of reform/justification to go ahead w/ supporting DHS.

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.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Which does not mean backing off, but pushing harder.

All these people need to go to prison, at the least. We learned from Jan 6 that we need to jail everyone right up to the top, or they just come back after being pardoned by the worst president in American history.
Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position.

They are losing.

I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

seeing conservatives admit alex pretti was disarmed and need to change their message to “well you know where you won’t get shot? at home” is just an impressive level of pathetic allegiance to their dictator

Newsmax fabricated a quote from me about my father Richard Zimmer today. They never contacted me. It's not just outrageous but funny. He was talented in many ways, but most definitely not at golf or cooking or craftsmanship. www.newsmax.com/john-gizzi/z...
