The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.
Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

This is exactly what I told someone yesterday.
Even if I spot you the first shot (I shouldn’t, but let’s go with that), shots 2 and 3 were inexcusable and this officer will lose his case if it ever goes to court.

Think about how insane this 24 hours was:
- Miller talks about seizing Greenland
- White House says “force is always an option” (against a NATO ally)
- Administration sends Rubio to walk statements back through Congressional leaks that we want to *buy* Greenland, not invade.

You don’t shoot someone in the head for trying to flee the scene.

Europe has already stepped up quite a bit, and I wouldn’t discount the amount that Ukraine is able to do domestically. They’ve got one of more impressive drone (both air and sea) programs out there. They’ve also really ramped up their missile production capabilities.

He’s definitely talking about the insurrection act - that was always the plan if SCOTUS didn’t let him use the Guard as his personal military force. He’s going to look for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act and bypass their ruling.
He’ll probably try martial law before he’s done. Won’t work.

The Senate will be tough. No point in sugar coating that. We should still do everything we can to take it back, but it’s important to set realistic expectations.
At his current approval ratings, the House should be an electoral bloodbath. We obviously can’t get complacent, but I feel good about it.

Working on that! I’ve been consulting with some election experts, and I’m going to put together a list of races for the folks on Patreon. I’ll post it here too.

Not if we do our jobs, it won’t. We need to make sure people are aware of the change, and we need to urge everyone to vote as early a possible in their states.
Barring that, we’re going to have to be willing to stand in line to vote on Election Day - we have a nation to save.

Get out the vote efforts absolutely help. The reason a lot of people don’t vote is because it’s inconvenient - some folks simply don’t *care* about politics until it impacts them directly.
And more states won’t implement mail in b/c they want the process to be inconvenient. Low turnout helps GOP.
