Now what about the policy? Are we going to work together to bring accountability to those empowered to use force on our neighbors, or not?

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

JFC, how in the world do these ignorant idiots think they're helping?
Democrats have zero power to "abolish" anything or impeach anyone. Republicans have ALL the levers of power. All of them. All the committees. Everything. Voters ENSURED that when they refused to vote for Democrats and for Harris.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.
‘All-out assault on our democracy:’ Bondi’s Minnesota blackmail letter draws righteous fury from state election leaders
“This isn't leadership. This is blackmail," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "This is the way organized crime works."

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

Abolish ICE is not enough.
Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.
We need prosecutions and trials.
Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Nothing to see here. Just a picture of some Canadians who came to the aid of the United States when they invoked NATO Article 5. Fuck JD Vance, fuck your Rotting Pedo President, and fuck the enablers who refuse to do what is necessary to end this waking nightmare.
Canada sent so many dedicated young people into the hellfire of Kandahar to help the United States.
Now they ridicule us.
JD Vance says he is tired of our "sob stories".
Trump says they never needed us.
Never again, America, Never again.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously.
But none of them has the balls to do it.

The US is a great place to live for the super rich and super famous. For everyone else, plenty of other places would offer a better life. And yet, a big chunk of the latter group doesn't demand better from the US, because the former group convinced them that they too could be rich or famous someday.
If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

I’m done with politicians and pundits on cable news telling us some version of, ICE would be fine if they just followed the rules and procedures.
THEY’RE FOLLOWING ORDERS‼️
I just dropped a piece on why “defund ICE” misses the point. Hear me out…
