I mean. I am not an expert. But when the government is like “Hey, give me a list of Jews. For uh protection reasons” it would seem like A BAD THING. apple.news/A-AXrNRgkRhm...

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

I love that we have four or five separate examples of ICE thugs directly threatening to murder dissidents by saying precisely the same thing (haven't you learned your lesson?), and it never fails to just make people virulently angry. They just refuse to believe it's not working.

But no one wanted to listen.

Photo of the Day.
A young woman, identifying herself as disabled & going to a doctors appointment, had her car windows smashed, was dragged out, cuffed & led away by ICE agents.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

All I want to see is Democratic leadership show the same passion and moral clarity as a grandmother who has attended more protests in the last year than in the rest of her life.
As others have noted, "Abolish ICE" is in positive territory without Democrats even pushing the message. If they actually leaned into this, they could easily move that number much higher.
BTW, while "Abolish ICE?" is currently polling at 46/43, the same weekly poll had "Abolish the Department of Education?" at 28% support, 58% opposed before Trump did it anyway.

It remains hilarious that, for Donald Trump, the absolute highest form of praise he can give is "this person liked me"
Trump: "Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn’t fashionable to do so. He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease. My condolences go out to his family, and all of his many friends and listeners."
