For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Some of my colleagues who are against defunding the police/reform are suddenly yelling "abolish ICE", but they still can't imagine a world without our current policing system.

I would say you can probably triple 71k and you'd still be short on the number of people Israel and the US/EU blob has murdered.

Another banger from Jonathan Guyer, who's been on the USAID-Gaza beat for a few years.

If anyone wonders why I really, really hate Joe Biden and his administration? It's because I had to work for them on Gaza. They're evil, evil people who deserve prison.

CEOs of mega corporations are the only people that politicians listen to. The capitalists fully understand that they own this country and want this to stop because it's bad for business, not because they care about the communities being terrorized by ICE.

Despite diplomatic rhetoric, Palestinians continue to be killed, starved and forcibly displaced. There is no ceasefire for Palestinians in Gaza, only the next phase of genocide.

Israel now accepts that it killed 71,000 people in Gaza, and that this number DOES NOT include those starved, crushed, missing or killed by disease resulting from the attack.

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

The same Minnesota companies that welcomed ICE to their state by supporting the OBBBA have signed a tepid open letter that underplays the anger of their employees — and their own influence in creating the chaos. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social and @ddayen.bsky.social on corporate hypocrisy in MN:

what really bugs me about the "trans people got ahead of public opinion" line is that it ignores *why* public opinion changed. it didn't just come out of nowhere, there was a deliberate push to make trans rights a wedge issue.
Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years.

At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Not enough. Not nearly enough. They have a chance to get rid of the whole agency now and get rid of Noem.

These milquetoast requirements are bullshit and offer huge loopholes that Miller et al with keep walking right on through.

CALL YOUR REPS. Demand nothing less than the abolishment of ICE.
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
