Centrist Democrats are pussies, they are reaction to abolish ICE, because defund the Police was used against them in 2022 and 2024, however aboliish ICE is not the same as defunding the police.
Ice is a rogue paramilitary force staffed by law breaking, immature, insecure thugs., who have no interest in protecting the people, their mission is to intimate the people
I agree with you on so many levels, but as someone who spent a lot of time in 2020 having to run around explaining to older white democratic folks that defund the police was not actually a call for total and permanent anarchy while the right ran around making up all kinds of stories about what "defund the police" meant, I am torn here. It's wrong to think of it as "just" a messaging issue, for sure, but using another easily misinterpreted slogan given how good the right is at controlling the narrative seems like it runs the risk of scaring away people we genuinely need to join the coalition to turn the tide here very quickly, before we never get to vote again...I'm tentatively proposing "restructure ICE" or "restructure homeland security". "reform" is way too milquetoast and completely fails to rise to the moral occasion, but just saying "abolish" leaves too much open to fearful imagination and narrative twisting. Restructuring involves deep, dramatic change from the top all the way to the bottom without making people feel like it's just leaving a power vacuum...
ICE’s training is what? 45 days now? ICE is every jobless MAGAt and his nephew who got fired and couldn’t find a job after they got called out for their participation in Jan. 6.
Yeah, yeah. The department once had a legitimate job, but Bovino and his Napoleon complex saw to it that reputation was utterly destroyed.
Abolish ICE. No question.
I have a great deal of respect for the American Military — or what it once was. ICE may have some vets in it, but these are the people we raised in Iraq and Afghanistan while sweeping the crimes of Abu Ghraib under the rug.
They’re a large cohort that was raised on UFC smackdowns and winning at all costs. They were raised to compete and come out on top or be shamed. That haunts a friend of mine whose son moved to Seattle just before the pandemic. When things got truly worrisome, he called his mom, wanting to come home. His mother piledrove him into despair when she literally said, “Suck it up, Buttercup. You didn’t plan well, and I’m not fixing this.” She thought she was doing the right thing. He committed suicide three days later.
Are my two kids “soft little snowflakes”? You bet they are. They know their mother loves them unconditionally, and they have become two amazing adults. Love your children and read to the a lot. Teach them to think and feel. Then they turn out to be the kind that wants to help friends and neighbors, not shoot them in the streets.
