74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.

Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

"With Congress-approved funding, ICE detention is expected to triple in size, mirroring the scale of Japanese internment." #AbolishICE
For @truthout.org I wrote an analysis of the mass deportation boom during 2025. Amid all the spectacle, the passage of the funding bill in July was an ominous milestone in the history of U.S. immigration policy and the Trump administration's aspiring fascism.

At one point I created a TiKTok account for my craft business bc it seemed like that was where, you know, all the people had gone, but I never really took to it (I hate video) and so rarely used it. This was a good reminder to just delete the account.
TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.

They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

NO!!!!! With the loss of journalists Iike Lex and their team from platforms like Teen Vogue, we’re losing our greatest instruments in the fight for democracy.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

There’s more throughout the thread. Wow.
Remember that the ICE agents claimed they were looking for a totally different person before they smashed this guy’s car windows? And how he had asylum already?

Well, looks like that might not have even been a ruse. ICE didn’t even file a notice to appear in court, they clearly had nothing on him.

Hey chat is it bad when the gov tells you you’re not allowed to question their decree on who is and is not deserving of human rights and consideration in their ability to participate in society
It is literally my job to question not only whatever ruling by whatever court I like, but also every other bit of the law that happens to interest me. Additionally - and for everyone else - there's Art 10 EHCR, which makes it not only my job but also the law that I can, y'know, question the law.
