@leahgreenberg.bsky.social - In regards to the question asked during What's the Plan last week, @propublica.org has done a good bit of work collecting ICE stats.

Let's not drop this ball.
Social media is full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped results — while Spotify is full of ICE recruitment ads.
As long as Spotify is willing to take money from ICE, they don’t need (and don’t deserve) free advertising on our social feeds.

1/ While some of this increase may be due to inflation, I remain discouraged by an America that appears to prioritize consumption above... pretty much everything. If we can't even shut down Black Friday, #GeneralStrike proponents will be deeply disappointed.
Shoppers spend billions on Black Friday to snag holiday deals, despite wider economic uncertainty
Despite wider economic uncertainty hovering above this year’s holiday season, shoppers turned out in big numbers for Black Friday — spending billions of dollars both in stores and online.

Yep.
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment.

Continuing to chew on pros/cons of ending the shut down. Pretty sure GOP never would have caved. Regardless of viewpoint, THE TIMING WAS AWFUL! Not while SNAP payments were awaiting final ruling. Not while majority of DEM base wanted to continue. Not immediately after election success.

There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Because 2026 ain't gonna be no time for a protest vote. That much is certain.

I have so many feelings about the shut down of the shut down. There is no end to the things to worry about. But one of those things is the damage the DEMs did to themselves. Their base is, rightly or wrongly, *enraged.* This, we do not need. At all.

"Pressure still matters."
Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.
