Ending billionaireism isn't just socially and economically necessary to maintain human civilization, it's a humanitarian measure for the billionaires themselves. They're clearly very sick and we can help them

i agree with this, as long as by “take accountability” you mean “prepare your horrid souls for damnation because you will find no quarter on this Earth”
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

One reason you can't just tinker with ICE/CBP is the whole thing is facially illegitimate. The intent is rotten. It's run by a white supremacist maniac and will continue producing white supremacist maniac results

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.

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

100%. If you want an alternative slogan you can go with "Abolish ICE before they kill again."
the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.

Let's review the facts at hand here: A Democratic administration discovered and prosecuted a case of welfare fraud. Republicans are now using this case to smear hundreds of thousands of immigrants and militarize an entire city.
And your conclusion is that Democrats need to do something different?

to think that in my lifetime we went from "don't believe what you read on the internet" to "anyone can put anything on Wikipedia so check your sources" to "don't believe anything you see bc it's AI" to "maybe some asshole editing Wikipedia is the only motherfucker I trust" has sure been a journey

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

We document how the growth in ICE detention has been driven by a huge increase in the number of people arrested by ICE and held in detention who have no criminal record at all. We also explain how new detention policies are keeping people locked up with no ability to seek bond — making many give up.
Arrests of people with no criminal record surged by 2,450% in Trump’s first year.
This was driven by increases in tactics like “at-large” arrests, roving patrols, worksite raids, and re-arrests of people attending immigration court hearings or ICE check-ins.
