There's no way you can keep funding a federal government who's primary mission is to inflict pain on the population. Every federal agency from McMahon at DoE to RFK shredding HHS and everything in between. Every day we let them stay open is more time we'll need to repair the damage they've done
Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael.

On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.

ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

You can't just tell ICE to leave a state. If they leave they'll just be in OTHER STATES. They need to be dissolved. Then everyone one of them needs to be severely legally punished. Don't just tell them to leave one specific area where they are doing the most damage, even if you swear while doing it.

DEMS: RUN ON THIS.
Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

DEFUND ABOLISH & PROSECUTE ICE
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough bc it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

How about state-wide @gavinnewsom.bsky.social ?
Every municipality ran by Dems needs to follow suit. Every one in every state. Yesterday.
“I do not want my tax dollars or Haverford’s resources to be used to support a poorly trained, unprofessional, and cruel secret police force."

One of Delco's largest communities has voted to bar police from cooperating with ICE's noncriminal immigration efforts.

Someone drew a cartoon pig on a deputy's coffee cup but the LASD is on the case!

Personally, if my boss humiliated me with a press release that said he had called me to "check on my well being" because of a little cartoon on my coffee cup, I would change my name and move to another state.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

"I want to highlight the ways in which U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, in her November 20 opinion in a case over the federal government’s treatment of protesters and press in Illinois, warned us — warned America — that today was coming." Chris Geidner on Minnesota and our case against DHS.
An ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good. Judge Sara Ellis all but told us today would happen.
"[A]gents have used excessive force ... without justification, often without warning, and even at those who had begun to comply with agents' orders," Ellis wrote on Nov. 20.

The same people who yesterday were dismissive of when the Capitol police got the shit kicked out of them by a bloodthirsty mob are today claiming a bunch of unharmed ICE goons were in mortal danger from one woman.
