Then we must be clearer:
We will not elect any Democrat who does not push to abolish ICE
That's the platform. That's the whole fucking thing.
If you can't do this, you can't govern in these times. Period.

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
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

Trans women are already at a higher risk of HIV infection than almost any other group of people.
Just like Reagan, the Trump administration sees AIDS as a useful tool to eliminate queer and trans people.
The fight for trans women in prisons and those with HIV/AIDS has never been more important.

In all the talk about Charlie Kirk, there’s not been nearly enough discussion about murders and suicides of LGBTQIA+ people—especially youth.
Kirk and his allies targeted that community, stoking hate, misunderstanding, and radicalization.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $8 billion for hiring/retention

The reason ICE was able to do any of this this was because Biden/Obama and the Democrats did nothing to reign in the powers of ICE, over 12 years.
All they did was hold them back temporarily. And this year, Democrats helped pass the Laken Riley Act, which has been used by Trump for all of this.

the idea that somehow ICE/CBP were *this* bad under Biden/Obama, and thus would have been this bad under Harris, is genuinely insulting to the affected communities
New data show that ICE is pulling record numbers of people off the streets who have no criminal convictions of any kind. This is not just a change from the Biden admin. This is a radical tactical shift compared to Trump 1.0. These arrests are up over 1,000% from 2017.

The LAPD is currently beating your citizens with batons and stomping on them with horses. They are shooting rubber bullets at the press. And your response is to send in MORE law enforcement? To what? Beat them back further? Because your local PD sure aren’t “protecting” civilians.

This story is horrifying. Scammers got people to pay thousands of dollars to hire a fake lawyer. To keep the scam going and keep the money flowing, the scammers also set up fake USCIS appointments, fake ICE check-ins, and fake court hearings.
Worse, they told one guy to skip his real court hearing.

From past atrocities to today’s ICE operations tearing families apart, that excuse has never justified injustice. Obedience to cruelty is still cruelty.

I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.
