BOOM. Clemency is the last valve when Congress won’t fix rotten laws. Life in federal prison over weed? A joke. And the courts keep slamming doors on late-stage innocence claims...procedure over truth. Keep mercy. Kill the “pardon my friends” racket. It's BS.

Congress , where are you?!?????
>the president has gone certifiably batshit insane and is deploying airborne brigades to U.S. cities to support his secret police while starting multiple conflicts and creating a crisis to annex the territory of an ally at the same time he’s renaming multiple government buildings after himself

In an unexpected twist, the House of Representatives has voted to avoid a government shutdown. Experts say it’s the most bipartisan act since Congress agreed to give up on exercise during the pandemic. Who knew unity could be found in laziness?

Can Congress launch investigations into DHS/ICE, FBI and DOJ themselves?
Can they threaten to take away their money if they don’t comply with them, then follow through?
Impeach Noem and Bondi?
Totally get they are not the courts. But Congress and the Cowardly Republicans CAN do something.

First VP to ascend to presidency due to a president’s death? Only former POTUS elected to Confederate Congress? John Tyler of VA, who died 1/18/1862 before taking his seat in CSA House of Representatives. His last grandson just died last year, which is…something.

It's not really "letting". He was elected by a flawed system that thrives on the apathy of 40% of the population.
He has been opposed on every order, and has lost (guesstimate) 60% of rulings.
The electorate is pissed and about to clean out congress this year.
He's just a bloviating loudass.

I certainly hope it does not come to that. If it does will they stand up? Will members of Congress stand up? Will the Speaker of the House do his job? If it's based on Illegal Military orders will the Commanders or the service members refuse to obey? Again, I hope we do not have to find out.

Every ICE operation degrades the United States and each one puts us closer to full tin pot dictator rule.
The Republicans controlling our Congress are traitors to our Country.
What the Trump Regime is doing is wrong, unethical, and immoral by every measure.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

The Trump regime aims to make America whiter by deporting and violently repressing racial minorities they hate, including citizens and various noncriminals.
As @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, no way to do that without awful optics. A majority of Americans were raised to think the Gestapo was bad.

Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.

Hey Congress,
Do your jobs and tighten up the law to include individual identification, (name or ID) not just the dept.
They should also provide it on demand when asked by a civilian.
Especially when being grabbed by someone in a mask wearing a flack jacket that just says ICE.
