If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.

@booker.senate.gov TRUTH
Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.
The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem.
Abolish ICE.

This. AIPAC and ICE Democrats can get wrecked. Y'all may as well wear red hats.
If you're one of the 188 Republicans and 153 Democrats who voted last week to send $3.3B more in military and bombs to Netanyahu as he commits genocide, do not be quoting Dr. MLK this week, who specifically condemned the triple evils of racism, poverty, and militarism.
Reprehensible hypocrisy.
