If people have clear demands and refuse to take members of congress seriously until they do exactly what is asked of them, the members have no choice but to change their mind.
when you were there- do you know why they didn't want to do anything? I guess more importantly, what might have changed their mind?

Few individuals have had such a colossal & deleterious impact on the cultural psyche as the recently-departed Erich von Däniken. While he was not alone in fusing aliens into our conception of the distant human past, he was perhaps the most successful & the most harmful in doing so.

ICE approaching a teenage girl and U.S. CITIZEN on her way to soccer practice and snooping around her car with giant guns is not making us safer.
All it does is terrorize our kids.

Leftist Slang Of The Day:
Sheepdog
Definition:
To adopt radical & anti-capitalist rhetoric in order to attract dissent, only to redirect that energy into safer less disruptive channels (e.g electoralism, reform, or NGOs), defusing revolutionary energy while preserving existing hierarchies.

I don't know where the current do-nothing, we-don't-support-impeachment, leftists-caused-all-this-by-criticizing-us astroturf chiseling slate of Democratic party "leadership" gets off claiming a principled stand. they wouldn't know a principle if they got sent to the office in elementary school

Abolish ICE should be more than just an activist slogan. Time to put meat on the bones. By the same token, we need Democrats who won’t run away from good policy, needed accountability measures, and crucial democracy protections simply because they’re scared of Republican lies.

Neither activists nor elected Democrats should repeat the mistakes of the past.

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

I am speaking generally and hypothetically, but the chief executive going to war with the central bank is the sort of thing that results in breadlines, coups, and worse.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

I think if the Federal government hides the ICE agent murderer from Minnesota authorities and withholds Medicaid because of the hallucinated fraud story then the union is no longer intact.

By refusing to coordinate with local law enforcement, ICE is not making our community safe. It is making it less safe.
