There’s a whole thread of these — letters from detained children who are scared and suffering.

It is a matter of moral urgency to abolish ICE.

has my to-do list considered that I am so, so sleepy?

Punxsutawney Phil did not get the message that we need ICE OUT.

Meme based on a scene from the 1993 movie “Groundhog Day” where Bill Murray as Phil Connors, is reporting from a Time Loop Gobbler’s Knob on Groundhog Day, February 2. But instead of Phil saying “Well, it’s Groundhog Day… again,” the meme reads “Well it’s another shitty day in America again”

Hey some of my ancestors were in the massachusetts bay colony, maybe we're extremely distant cousins

@schumer.senate.gov is going to be written down in the history books as a complicit player in assisting and enabling the fascist regime’s mass terrorism, torture, and murder of the American people and everyone who lives here - legally or not.

‪Yet again, USA:

Require that Congress do its job, end all of this, remove Homan and Miller, #ImpeachNoem, #CloseTheCamps, and #AbolishICE & the Border Patrol.

Instead of whatever this is.

This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

I tell people I don't trust buses and this is why.

A train could never do this to you.

I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

Do you think there's some weird force field in national harbor that draws terrible vibes there?

Society parried the ozone layer, acid rain, and Y2K back to back and instead of going "wow, parrying is badass" a lot of people went "society didn't even get hit so I guess there's no need to learn how to parry" and instantly took a thousand hits

You'd think the Dems in leadership positions have their heads so far up their asses that it would muffle their dribblings of ineffectual pablum, but here we are

That there’s not a massive, credible, instant, bipartisan impeachment/25th Amendment move over these senseless and destructive Greenland threats is a sign of how broken our politics are — and especially how broken the Republican Party is.

21 y/o activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous to. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull.

This story is not getting enough attention.

Frey: "This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation our city is being put in. We cannot be at a place in America where we have 2 governmental agencies literally fighting one another. We are put in this position b/c we have approximately 600 police officers & there are 3,000 ICE agents."

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
