"None of this would have happened under Harris" is wishful thinking which denies the violence that the US state still inflicted when she was VP, & also doesn't matter.
You must build something BEYOND bourgeois duopoly, rather than bemoaning that your uncle doesn't have access to a time machine.

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money.
And he was still threatening to kill someone.

The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

Instead of demanding that ICE be abolished, we’ve seen a number of Democrats call their agents improperly trained.
Things wouldn’t be different if funding paid for more tech or training.
This is a playbook we’ve seen before. 🧵 (1/4)

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".
They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.
There is nothing "lawful" about it.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

In 2022, Kansas voters *overwhelmingly* defeated an anti-abortion ballot measure.
Ohio voters passed an abortion rights amendment in 2023.
And Missouri? You guessed it! Voters passed Amendment 3 this past November.
So no, we don't need 'pro-life Democrats' to win.

🚌 Strategies used to turnaround Akron’s bus system:
1. CEO used to be a bus driver, now rides the bus with customers
2. Run buses every 15 minutes, 7 days a week
3. Concentrate on most needed services
4. Reduce job requirements
