ICE Begins Buying β€˜Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

Could someone, ANYONE, point to a nation and time where a government suddenly opening dozens of new "detention centers" ever went well for the general population? www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

As crazy as these days have been, still, Chuck Todd engaging seriously with Karl Marx was not on my Bingo Card.

Not even the bare minimum. Following the law is the bare minimum. Now we need to go way further to make sure that they do. If you lead, the people will be on your side!

These people are telling on themselves of how incompetent they are. Obama\Biden performed 3.1 million deportations over 8 years. Say what you will about who the targeted, but they followed the law and deported people here illegally - unlike would-be King Don.

Mike Johnson: "GOD FORBID we do what the US Constitution requires us to do! And GOD FORBID we use some of that $190 BILLION DOLLARS from the Big Bullshit Bill that was given to DHS to actually fund competent immigration judges who can ensure due process for ALL people, regardless of citizenship!"

Finally, Democrats in congress are starting to get it: There is no more normalcy. The President and the entire executive branch cannot be trusted in any way.

People need to quit mocking this film for flopping and keep mocking it for the corrupt bribe we all know it to be.

Democrats Consider Partial Government Shutdown To Curb ICE After Minneapolis Shooting Democratic opposition to additional DHS funding is rapidly building ahead of a Jan. 30 deadline following another fatal shooting in Minnesota.

Call your Senators. No ICE funding until there's real reform. Reform like No masks, ability to sue for damages that comes out of ICE's budget, No Border Patrol in the streets, No more quotas, etc, etc...

Look, agree to disagree. I can tell we're on the same side and will have to go our separate ways to pursue the same change. I wish nothing but good will and good luck to you. I'll be following and hoping.

In this moment, the status quo won’t cut it.

We need leaders who recognize the gravity of this moment, who tell it like it is, make clear who and what we’re fighting for, and have the track record of getting it done.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is one of those leaders. Let’s go win.

The real "political theater" and "feel-good" votes are Dems telling us that "training" and "cameras" was a real concession. They've already murdered people on camera while calling them a ducking ditch and then lied about it - that's policy, not training.

"What you’re describing can only be done with a 2/3 majority" What have I described that would require 2/3 majority? Refuse to allocate any more funds to ICE without changes. Make a fight of it.

What is the meltdown here? Exercising democracy with a primary? What is Disinformation here? Counting the votes and pointing out that Democrats could have stopped this bill if all 7 had stuck with their fellow Dems? And most importantly, what is your alternative?

What methods do you take issue with. What do you suggest? I'd love to see multiple approaches being taken.

It would be nice if we could get Democrats to fight for something that isn't a sure thing. If you only fight when you know you can win, you cede a lot of fights to the other side. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Or Maybe because we don't want to Dox ourselves.
My Rep is a Dem who voted against this thing. I'll be calling my Senators.

I will work my ass off to get Dems elected. But a message has to be sent. These 7 will not get a minute or dime from me. In fact 3 of them I would support a primary challenger.

Less funding is not the goal. Accountability is. And if we can't get that. Then don't fund DHS. That "flat" funding is still another 10 billion. They don't need it

It's a messed up world if people can't stop giving my tax dollars to people who want to kill me and my neighbors.

First of all, it would not have been another shutdown, it would only be partial. Second, this bill handed them another 10 billion that's hardly status quo.

But if you think an extra camera angle will somehow help as ICE shoots you and your family, then by all means, hang onto this "victory"

Not all Dems. Just the 7 I called out. They are trying to pretend to be doing something. When in reality they are collaborating. Training and body cams aren't going to help. They are already on film killing a woman and they are proud of it, not ashamed. They accomplished nothing.

23.01.2026 01:14 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Because they are more afraid of being called "soft on crime" than being called "fascist collaborator". Politicians respond to voters. Let's make it clear collaborating is not the easy path they think it is.

This was a vote ONLY for Department of Homeland Security funding. We would've been just fine.

This vote was 220 to 207. If those 7 Dems had flipped and voted No, the vote would have failed.

To motivate activists and voters, you have to show you're willing to fight. This vote was demotivating and hurt our chances in November.

Anyone know any ambitious Democrats in Washington state or New York?

Perez and 2 more in NY are in competitive districts and can still be primaried this year.

Here's the list of 7 Dems who voted for ICE: 1 Retiree. 3 are past their deadline and will probably lose anyway because of gerrymandering.

But 3 are competitive districts and could still be primary-ed this year. Anyone know an ambitious Dem in NY or Washington?
