"Liberal" is a good bit to the right of me. I'm a good shot. Trans rights are human rights and if I can say that as a cis white man in Texas you can too. Love live music. Austin used to be home but now I just live here. Gratitude/ Expectations = Good Days

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I’m a NO β€” not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents.

No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes.

Get ICE out of Minnesota.

You know the other thing is, look at the "two" organizations he cites as condemning the remarks. I've has been overtaken by tRump appointees and the other has it's roots in right wing activism. The reporter undoubtedly knew that.

He did nothing to whip the vote and allowed 7 Dem House members to vote to fully fund ICE. He's always willing to jump on board when it's clearly in his interest but he has no spine. He fights only for himself. Jeffries and Schumer both need to go.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

How you doing today? You okay? It was a rough one for a lot of us. There's nothing wrong with you if you're anxious, angry, depressed, or just confused. There's no reason you should be good at this. This is not in any way normal or acceptable.

Be as kind to yourself as you can

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Hakeem Jeffries is worthless as a "leader". He and Schumer both need to go.

Here’s how to β€œmake sense” of all this: The right is composed of evil people doing evil things who do not give a single fuck about this country, your state or your family. All they want is power and the power to crush anyone who isn’t a white man that believes in society oriented around white men.
