I used to think that calls to abolish ICE were excessive. Now I’m convinced that the entire force must be terminated, and a new law-abiding immigration and customs enforcement body must be created from scratch. If the republic survives, we can’t keep around a partisan secret police force.

Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions.
If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:

There is no middle path when it comes to Trump and Republicans; there is only right and wrong.
If you can watch video after video of people being kidnapped and still be a "centrist," then they can fvck all the way off.

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.
One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Did you know that the federal minimum wage has not been raised since 2009?
That's 16 years and it's still sitting at $7.25!
Meanwhile the cost of living has only increased and CEO pay has skyrocketed.

If anyone shows up in your feed blaming Biden or Harris, block them immediately. They’re the same horseshoe assholes that lost us 2016. They’re here to divide democrats in favor of autocracy.
Whatever happens as a result of President-elect Musk falls on MAGA's shoulders. Not Joe Biden. Not Hunter Biden. Not Hillary Clinton. Not Obama.
These are their clowns.
This is their circus.
Whatever happens is on them.

Rep. Balint: "This is such a loss for this incoming president. He has been weakened by Musk, because it's clear that Musk is the one who's calling the shots. He says what the gameplan should be, Trump catches up a few hours later, and then Johnson backtracks from the deal."
