We all just saw about six different angles of ICE murdering a guy who himself was filming them, but sure, you think body cameras will make all the difference.

How stupid do they think we are?
Republicans have blocked every proposal to rein in ICE, but they're happy to let Democrats spend your tax money to equip ICE mercenaries with body cameras. Why? Because they know body cams won't restrain ICE any more than they do cops:

Don't try to reform ICE. Abolish them.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Ice needs to be abolished
This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

Or more broadly, telling your most committed constituents that they are an anchor, a liability, a problem for you -- that, by caring about anything more than what a non-college middle-PA swing voter cares about, they are fucking everything up for you.

That's the constant message.
I am just a simple small-town lawyer but I really can’t think of a more toxic and self-defeating political strategy than telling your constituents the things they care about are “a distraction.”

The justices keep returning to the hypo of a Fed governor posting pro-Nazi videos to ask whether that would meet the bar for for-cause removal. The idea that this kind of content would obviously cross the line seems a bit farcical given some of the material that DHS regularly posts on social media

It's not debatable that a mentally disturbed person has the nuclear codes. The Republicans know they're endangering us all by leaving him in office. This is a betrayal of every person on Earth. It is a crime against humanity.

Trump is ranting and hallucinating now, before a world audience, on live TV. While our decades-long allies talk about how to protect themselves.

Anyone who sounded the way he does, RIGHT NOW, would be moved from "main" part of assisted living facility to the memory unit.

Hey GOP: just listen.

DOGE likely perpetrated the most serious, far-reaching data breaches in human history, and we will be dealing with the consequences for years.

Many DOGErs should have been, and still could be, prosecuted for these crimes.

What do I want Democrats to do? If they can't call for the total abolition of ICE and the full prosecution of all its employees for crimes against humanity, what I want them to do is resign or retire.

I agree that we ought to use persuasion to bring people nearer to our political purposes; I think that making every single Republican a social and professional pariah for the rest of their lives would be very persuasive when it comes to people weighing the cost/benefit of aligning with fascism.

This guy. I swear to god. The consultant brain rot.

He can not meet this moment, and we are all suffering as a result.

He needs to resign from leadership and make room for someone who listens to real people, not an imaginary couple in their head where it is perpetually 1976 and gas is 15 cents.
