Will “moderate” democrats finally admit now that “pack the court” and “abolish ice” were actually pretty reasonable ideas?

“Running amok” is a cute euphemism for “kidnapping, disappearing, and trafficking people” but still a good article for anyone trying to understand how ice is able to do so without warrants or accountability

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

Republicans don’t want more “parents” at home. They want women at home, out of the public sphere, economically dependent on men for their whole lives— permanently relegated to second class citizens.

Use eminent domain to seize back any public land he sells. Prosecute every ICE agent. Blacklist every corporation & law firm that strikes a deal with him. Sanction every foreign govt that bribes him. Be loud about the intent to do so.
Right now there’s no reason for anyone NOT to bow down to him

My thought of the Qatari jet is that the moment Trump is out of office, the net president ought to seize it and sell it on the grounds that based on the emoluments clause, it could never have been a gift to Trump personally and so must have been a gift to the federal government.

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.

NOW can y’all admit that “abolish ICE” was never really that radical?

“I want this terrible policy to hurt OTHER people, not ME.” People like this are twisted and I have zero sympathy for them
Things like this will surely call ICE directly to your door. Do they not realize this?

Dear media, It's trafficking
The word you're looking for is trafficking
Coupled with kidnapping
The only thing he's deporting is a fuckton of American embarrassment to every country in the world.
STOP calling them deportations. That is a legal term. It's not even close to what he's actually doing

Here is a list of critical federal health programs for families that they want to cut.
Without these programs families will have fewer resources to care for loved ones, young and old. Those on the edge will fall into poverty.
Call your reps.

Problem is elected dems are acting like helpless bureaucrats instead of thought leaders who can steer opposition.
They could easily call for mass protests and a general strike but would rather do a toothless press release that not even their own staffers will read

Why do people still treat James “the best political strategy is to give up and lose” Carville like he’s relevant?

A mother dragged out from a school board meeting because she confronted them about the dismantling of DEI policies. What followed wasn't just an overreaction. This is a warning from a country sliding into authoritarianism.

24 years ago, in the days after 9/11 I remember leftists screaming that any civil liberty we gave up for anyone “because terrorism” would be used broadly against the left in years to come.
At the time it felt hyperbolic.
Today, it feels prescient. Terrorist just seems to be “POC I disagree with”
