Without the police—including the ones that serve Democrat governors and mayors—ICE would have been defeated in cities like Minneapolis long ago.

Police: An Ethnography
We let police officers speak for themselves about what they are trying to do and why. And as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

A lot of people’s problems with injustice and cruelty is that they don’t like being aware of it and would do anything to go back to pretending that nothing is wrong

On day 8 of our Administration, @governor.ny.gov and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC. No longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

The democrats are currently trying to reward big tech and permanently entrench its power by pushing horrific mass surveillance and censorship laws under the guise of “cracking down on big tech” and “kids online safety.” DO NOT LET THEM TRICK YOU!!
As many have pointed out, there's no reason for big tech to change its behavior because they correctly understand that they have nothing to fear from Democrats taking power

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

A lot of people have strong feelings about what’s happening in Venezuela, but not much grounding in the history or politics. I talked to Geo Maher, who’s written two books on Venezuelan politics, to offer some context.

I am so very sad today and I am sitting in that sadness because Renee Nicole Good, Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, and so many others targeted and murdered by this fascist regime deserved to live and my heart beats for each of them. 💗

Nothing so perfectly proves the concept of whiteness as a social construct than the reality that white people who stand up for minorities forfeit some of the protections that whiteness afforded them.

If we're serious about ending public murders of innocent people by paramilitary goons cosplaying as law enforcement, it's not just ICE that has to go.
It's the police too.
Defunding the police IS the compromise.

Anyone who has read Copaganda knows that we are in the crucial early moments of virality after an extra-judicial police murder. It's extremely important for ICE that the media plays along with the idea that what happened is contested and there are multiple perspectives.
