If you were to actually take his white supremacy and racism seriously, you would evaluate their impacts on every single decision and policy advanced by the administration. And you would be on board for future reparations.

“We know he’s a racist,” that’s wild because it doesn’t seem to affect the analysis or behavior of you folks, at all.

People often disparage the press — and we often get it wrong — but almost everything you know about this administration is not because pundits go on tv or social media and pontificate but because of relentless reporting from real journalists at institutions that give them resources to do so.

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

Nurses and their kids marching and ICE just gasses them. You think they're not gonna murder someone else?
Can confirm ICE seemingly did this without any real warning at a completely peaceful rally. It was fucking nurses and teachers and their families on a Saturday afternoon...

-DHS won’t cooperate; is ignoring court orders now
-“The border” is a 100mile zone inland encompassing 2/3 of the population including LA, NY, PHI, etc
-We’ll never see the body cam footage, you idiots, you absolute shits
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Every Democratic Senator must vote NO on DHS/ICE funding. Continuing to fund this agency that is terrorizing and murdering our people makes you complicit. They EXECUTED Alex Pretti.

Every Senator must draw a line in the stand here.

Washington, you know what to do. Light up those phones
Murray is the chief Democratic appropriator. She negotiated the DHS funding deal. She needs to present a new plan now
This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability.

Joining ICE does not give you license to murder.

The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.
