BREAKING: Six more of Trump's lifetime judicial nominees just advanced to the Senate floor — two with bipartisan support. Why is this still happening?

The committee also advanced a US Attorney nominee who was on the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/the-senate...
The Senate Judiciary Committee Just Advanced Six Judicial Nominees. Two Received Bipartisan Support.
The nominees, who would serve lifetime appointments, could see floor consideration later this month.

We are ten years into this. Troops are on the streets of an American city brutalizing people. It is time to stop responding to Trump's most authoritarian ambitions with "well he can't do that."

The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda.

Only 57 Democrats voted NO.

This is goofy. If someone holds up a phone close enough scan a damn QR code, ICE will break their arm and accuse them of assault.

No reform, no training, no half measures. Just send ICE the fuck home.

Ds should demand ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES immediately with ABOLISH ICE as the long term goal.
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.
Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.

Minneapolis city council member says POC should stay home:
Dear neighbor,

HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart.

Children of immigrants please keep your family safe.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

If you need to be trained to not murder people in cold blood in order to do a job, the job shouldn't exist.

Disrespecting law enforcement being a capital offense subject to summary execution.*

*Does not apply to the events of January 6th.
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."

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents.

But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy.

2024 election coverage was like “voters concerned about The Economy are voting for Trump, the Economy Candidate, who understands money” and meanwhile economists were like “if Donald Trump enacts his proposed economic policies, which have never ever worked, it will cause an insta-recession”

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school
