dem strategy makes no sense. voters don't like how chaotic trump is. media and dumb swing voters just convinced themselves he would be more normal in round 2. when dems downplay trump latest insanity, it cedes ground and creates the impression that what he is doing is within the realm of reason.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.
Classic Democratic no-win. All of them voted against the OBAA, which supercharged ICE funding and hiring. But they won't say they'd "abolish ICE" so they'll get yelled at (mostly by people who'll vote for them in the midterms after threatening not to).
Top Democrats decline to say if they would rein in ICE after Minnesota shooting

One of the things that genuinely shocked me as I read through surveillance logs for the police is how much of their energy and attention is dedicated to shutting down vigils and other ceremonies of remembrance.
Anyway ICE was filmed desecrating Renee Nicole Good’s memorial & doing violence to people who found that distasteful. Might be too soon to say if this falls into some kind of pattern of behavior if you’re the stupidest motherfucker on earth.
It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

oldhead advice from an oldhead.
every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"
and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work

It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.

Rumor going around town that ICE is going to be targeting local schools during drop offs and pick ups. Had to have a serious conversation with other parents about strategies to keep our kids and their parents safe. People are crying, terrified. But at least we’re free from terrorism
