Watching public opinion shift this quickly on an issue is unheard of. Even the Iraq War took years before people admitted it was failing.

I'm interested in the 10% who are "not sure" and can thus be fully converted.

"Abolish ICE" is, very literally, the moderate position

Anyone instructing you to water down the message of "ABOLISH ICE" is working directly in the interests of fascists.

Abolish ICE is the mainstream, common sense position!

abolish ICE is a majority position among INDEPENDENTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC

you have 23% among REPUBLICANS

we have at least three more years of this shit

what I am saying is: the next Dem president had better be ready to walk into DHS with a chainsaw on Day 1

23% of Rs supporting abolishing ICE is incredible. If 23% of Rs vote D, thats a landslide

Oh yeah, every single Elected Dem who says "retraining for ICE."

Yet even now, Democratic leadership considers this an β€˜extreme’ position. You had a chance to lead voters to where they got to themselves and… you did not.

HEARTBREAKING! My little boy is going blind in Gaza. His eyes are fading away. I beg you on my knees, please help me save his sight before it’s too late. I can't bear to see him in darkness forever. Please, have mercy! SAVE HIS EYES!

β€œWe were sitting here around 8:00-8:30 p.m. and suddenly there was the noise and explosion. We got up and a few people ran away. We turned around to get our belongings and we saw that blood was spraying everywhere. Someone’s hand had fallen on the floor, a head had fallen on the floor,” said Shahin, a witness who had been at the cafe and asked to be identified by first name only. β€œThere were scalps torn off, hands severed, a few people were laying here all cut up and two people were martyred.”

β€œOne hit and it wasn’t that bad but when the second one hit, suddenly everything exploded. The windows all shattered.

He was severed in half. Half of him was thrown to the side. I put him back together and placed him where he was. A piece of his brain was thrown here on the floor.”

Please take a moment to read about the absolute horror inflicted on a Tehran neighbourhood by the US/Israel in a double-tap strike against civilians. 20 people murdered.

Absolute must listen. Nikhil also applies Homeland Empire to Israel, something he has not previously done elsewhere.
