I don't think there are good arguments against this position
legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

Can confirm. Nothing has changed on the ground. ICE still attacking people, kidnapping, all that stuff—and the city is still out protecting and helping neighbors
Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

The U.S. has successfully convinced its people that “the humanities are frivolous and STEM is Important and Real” is basically a law of nature: this is absolute nonsense that we should stop putting up with.

Anyway, ICE must be abolished and we should not tolerate positions that are mealy mouthed about it.

An underappreciated point which I think got forgotten from older discourse is that one of the primary reasons ice needs to be shut down and abolished is that they are indistinguishable from random vigilantes.
And that is why now we must all act to protect people.

David’s a friend so I’ve heard rumblings of his argument here. It’s a good one. The DHS was not a great idea from the start; we can do without it and do the necessary things it does in a better way.
Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

It's a kind of crazy making sitting here where I am saying "I would like them to practice effective politics, but I think those politics need to be based in truth and values and integrity" and I'm being told this is a radical position by some.

I've heard there's this amendment all about giving individuals and their state the freedom to bear arms in case there's a rogue federal government infringing on their rights. surely its supporters are now are up in arms and standing up for states rights in this moment, right?

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Adding to this wonderful summation of what I'm trying to speak to, we are also a country which has memorialized the underground railroad.
The various churches in homesteads and what not its conductors lived in have been preserved as monuments to the spirit of "fuck this evil shit"

Part of knowing US history is knowing about the genocide of native peoples, the slave trade, the failure of reconstruction, etc.
Another part is knowing about John Brown, the IWW, the 1934 San Fransisco General Strike, and others who worked against the above.
