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:

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.

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.

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.

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.
