“Abide by the same rules as local police” from someone who was an elected official during 2020 is just insulting. They turned “abolish the police” to “defund the police” to “train police” because they didn’t intend to do any of it, and now they’re using police as the standard of acceptable behavior
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Brioche kn*tting is so ridiculous. Why is two color easier than one color? What do you mean you have wrong sides in the round?

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Don Lemon was not the only journalist arrested -- Georgia Fort was as well. Don Lemon has the resources to come out of this just fine. Georgia Fort may not. Let's make sure the focus is on both of them.
"As a member of the press, I filmed the church protest a few weeks ago and now I'm being arrested for that," Indipendent journalist Georgia Fort said. "It's hard to understand how we have a Constitution, Constitutional rights, when we can just be arrested for being a member of the press."
Journalists Don Lemon, Georgia Fort arrested in connection with church protest against ICE
Lemon's attorney said he was taken into custody by federal officers Thursday night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy Awards.

The bill will likely be vetoed but is almost certainly going to be overridden.
The bill invalidates current drivers licenses and birth certificates of trans people who have amended them previously to align with their gender identity.
This is one of the most extreme bill to pass.

tim walz explained yesterday that ice should be kidnapping people from their homes under the cover of night where they can't be filmed, so i can guess what that would look like
Just think about what would be happening in the US right now if Kamala had been elected.

the reality is that Republicans will threaten to, try to, and sometimes succeed in killing you if you oppose them. Politicians who aren't willing to take that heat shouldn't run.

Ah yes, letting the secret police just do night raids surely fixes the problem
"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"
"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"
Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

"Outlawing masks" is again about the illusion of control. Think about why Democrats are okay with little kids in jail.
(Don't come at me with "it's a good start." That little boy whose picture y'all passed around is in jail. Did you forget?)

leftists are apparently complete idiots for warning everyone that Kamala didn’t have support and couldn’t gain it with her hardline stances on Gaza and immigration. Your framing sucks Brent
Many leftists downplayed Trump and were complete idiots who do own a lot of this for refusing to vote for Kamala in 2024.
And leftists were absolutely right on ICE, Gaza, and so many other issues that liberals and centrists smugly dismissed them on.
There is a lesson to be learned for everyone.

“Trump wants someone to shoot an ICE agent so he can get even crazier” is not the perspective of serious people who are connected to the reality of what’s happening here. These are the doomers you need to be cautious of.

I'm sorry for the person who was beat to death and killed. My sincere condolences to their loved ones. ICE is going to continue to kill people because the purpose of a system is what it does. It is not what it says it does or what you hope it does. Maybe USians will finally confront this truth.
