A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I truly do think the Democrats are our only way out of this mess but the current caucus is made up of the most credulous naive idiots in the country. Your average person protesting ICE yesterday has better sense than many elected Democrats.

repeal the Homeland Security Act of 2002
Dismantling DHS is an entirely achievable goal for Democrats at this point.
You can have Fox yell at you for being a radical leftist or whatever, but you're going to have endless images of paramilitary goons assaulting people on TV, and voters will associate you with wanting to end that.

ICE raided a Morristown laundromat and kidnapped ten people including a high school senior. get these thugs the fuck out of our communities and then get them the fuck out of federal employment. then, ideally, get them the fuck in front of a court.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.
Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

I feel like people are already being primed to accept “reform ICE” as a platform when anything less than abolishment should be unacceptable to literally everyone.
Yeah we should primary all Democrats who want to “reform ICE.” That’s what primaries are for.
I’m not fucking doing this again.

No. ABOLISH ICE.

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait

They assume we must all be getting paid to rise up cos:
A) they can't imagine a scenario where they would stand up for a stranger without financial incentive
B) they received financial incentives or free passes to cause trouble
C) there is insane funding behind them, and they draw small crowds

They’re opposed to preventative healthcare policy because they believe they’re an intervention in the natural eugenic hierarchy, framing this as an issue of “government overreach” while they’re literally banning healthcare for disfavored groups assists in that effort.
California now requires corn masa flour to contain folic acid to reduce birth defects among Latinos. Public health officials have lauded these efforts, but some conservatives say it’s another form of government overreach.
California is adding a supplement to tortillas. RFK Jr. calls it ‘insanity’.

i suspect there are a lot of morons in a lot of european capitals right now wringing their hands about the risk of escalation. here's the truth: the real risk is failure to escalate. backing down is showing weakness. trump will know it.

there is no positive route forward for the United States without mass arrests and trials for DHS employees
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.
This could be you.
