    This has been the plan since DHS was created. Do you see how those wealthy freaks talk about the rest of us in those Epstein emails? The American people are caught in a pincer movement being executed by both political parties. We are being normalized to soldiers in the streets with machine guns, kicking peoples doors down and kidnapping them, murdering people in the streets. That’s just phase 1. Phase 2 is to use a disaster to expand ICE authority or simply change the name of the agency to something like “Federal Security Forces”, and give them authority to violate the rights of all citizens. The trajectory is obvious. They know uprisings are right around the corner and they cannot allow anything like the New Deal to happen again.

      Yeees. Yeeeeesss. Good leftist. She’s unpure. Reject her. Refuse to vote. The left must maintain purity, even at the cost of progress.

      Her job is to do what she’s doing right now: achieving real tangible improvements. Your job is to get more people like her in positions of power so what’s achievable is closer to the outcome you want.

      Yelling about ICE in the streets and on the internet doesn’t do anything. Getting a deal done to defund ICE so that can’t keep terrorizing the country does do real good. It would actually save lives. Far more than I bet you’ve ever accomplished.

      They’re not the majority, abolishment isn’t on the table at the moment. Keeping your eye on what is feasible to accomplish is not something to throw a hissy fit over.
