Democrats would do well to not take the bait into rhetorical debates/politics. It’s not about about whether you would abolish ice or not. The majority of Americans want a secure border and the USA needs an immigration and customs agency to do that….

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

@maddow.bsky.social tRump’s actions in V seem confusing, but it is simple and tRump keeps explaining it:
It is about the oil - that is what is unique to V. It aligns perfectly to tRUMP’s policy of enriching oligarchs. Simple.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history. The leading cause of death? Covid-19.

Parents of boys, k-12 teachers, sociologists who teach about gender, and Americans who don’t understand wtf is going on all need to read Jacob Tobia’s book Before They Were Men. It is a prescient and empathetic understanding of how we need to think about men in America. #introsoc #gender
