I keep thinking about this video. There is no way they had probable cause or a warrant on that guy. Like every single other person, it’s just straight (attempted) kidnapping by the state with no legal authority.
Because the law is on life support in America while Dem electeds post about healthcare.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards
exactly this.

Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states.
He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it.
Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap!
Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!

Yes, voting against ICE funding is the morally right thing to do. But you can be the most heartless political consultant bastard out there - cutting ICE is still the smart play. That Schumer/Jeffries are silent right now is political malpractice (and morally reprehensible, if you care about that).
New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

This is NOT symbolic. If Dems adopt this position as a caucus, ICE get reined in. Full stop. Not after Trump, not after the midterms - NOW. Call your Dem rep and senators and tell them to back this play today.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.

Mpls: If you are working to support neighbors right now I *highly* suggest avoiding the generic "let me know what you need" and instead asking/offering directly:
"I'm going to the store. Send me a list."
"Do you need shampoo? Fruit? Toilet paper?"
"Can I help with your laundry?"
