ICE is more closely aligned with the slave catchers of the 1850’s.

Yes. Absolutely abolish I.C.E. They are domestic terrorists and killing Americans of all stripes.

Repost: 47 will address 3000 leaders from 130 countries at the World Economic Summit in Davos Switzerland today. The attendees are as aware of his actions as we are. Here’s their email address: contact@weforum.org. Let’s send as many SOS messages as we can? Here’s what I sent:

Hello, Please forward this message to every attendee at the World Economic Forum. It's my understanding that the recent actions of the US in Venezuela violate international law. Since Venezuela is a member of ICC, it's also my understanding that US citizens can be prosecuted by ICC even though the US is not a member nation. I hope that ICC will fulfill its duty to enforce international law. Thank you.

J6 pardoned criminals and other thugs that enjoy hurting people and asserting their fake masked so called authority

The first time I became aware of Slotkin, she made me sick to my stomach. Slotkin lives in centrist Hell. She is exactly what this country and the Democratic Party don't need. On a list of Democratic senators and representatives that I wish we could get rid of Slotkin may hold a position of undesirability just after Schumer and Fetterman. My impression of Slotkin is that she is an arrogant believer in nonsense that won't improve the lives of most Americans.

Jess, your description of Newsom being the Democratic JD Vance is perfect. He will do anything he thinks he needs to do to get power -- and he will throw anyone under the bus if he thinks that doing that will help him.

"We have not passed comprehensive reform immigration legislation in over 30 years" <-- THAT !!

No surprise, ICE is not discriminating, they are going after anyone and everyone in their path. Their tactics are more like a Zamboni than a targeted action. They are knocking citizens down, ruffing citizens up and shoveling citizens in their cars as fast as they can.

I look at all the huge guns these ICE goons are carrying, and have to ask, who are they planning to shoot? They aren't supposed to shoot anyone. Their supervisors must be old football coaches because their main strategy is to "swarm tackle" where it takes a group effort to stop the "immigrant" or "american" or "pastor" or "mother of 3". They are felonious failures and after trial, will rot in an ICE detention camp.

My message to Schumer today:

Sen. Schumer,

The picture of you embracing Rubio is disgusting. Rubio is a traitor and complicit in all the evil and corrupt actions of the Trump administration. You need to stop sending strongly worded letters and stand up for Democracy in a forceful way. I noticed that your "5 buckets" did not include reining in ICE, stopping military action in Venezuela or any other of our allied countries. Dems need to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time - forcefully addressing "kitchen table issues" as well as the deterioration of our rights and freedoms and corruption and lawlessness of ICE and the entire Trump administration. Step up your game or get out of the way of those who will.

One of the most amazing thing about ICE is how easy it is for the fascists to find violent thugs to sign up and abuse their fellow citizens.

There was an excellent remark made by, David Cochrane, a Canadian CBC host: "“America isn’t the way it is because [Trump is] president. He’s president because America is the way it is.”

I know that that contradicts Waj's claim that there are more of us than there are of them. I believe that the correct way to state Waj's claim is: There SHOULD be more of us then there are of them and we have reach those people who should be with us and convince them to become actively engaged. If there were truly more of us than them, Trump would not have won in 2024.

The American left has a significant pool of low information, disengaged citizens who should be voting and voting with the left. But they sit out elections and spend their time and energy on things that won't save democracy.

I don’t think Republicans are cowards. They want what is happening.

This conversation is so good! Thank you both.

Schumer is my Senator. I call him regularly to urge him to actually LEAD. He's so completely out of touch. As you said, he doesn't know what he doesn't know and he seems to be unable to learn. And my other senator, Gillibrand—where the hell is she? I leave messages asking her where she is and what she's doing to save our country. Still haven't gotten an answer.

Mamdani is leading the way. And that’s where the billionaires have shot themselves in the foot — repeatedly. Here comes this young authentic guy who says we can do things — like child care. It’s possible! New Mexico started it already! We will have universal healthcare care. Housing. Because idiot billionaires got way tooooo greedy they will be paying for a lot more in the future. It’s going to be crazy but they will pay
