Democrats in Congress erupted in fury Saturday after federal agents fatally shot a man in Minneapolis, with some calling to deploy the National Guard and partially shut down the government in response. Why it matters: Democrats are growing ever more strident in their criticism of ICE, Customs and Border Patrol and other immigration authorities as the Trump administration has used the agencies to swarm cities across the country. All but six of the House’s 213 Democrats voted this week against a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security over concerns about a lack of constraints on ICE and CBP agents. The bill passed the House but needs support from at least seven Senate Democrats, who are now under more pressure than ever to block it. “The Senate should reject the DHS funding bill next week until significant reforms are added to the bill. We need a complete overhaul,” Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.) said in a post on X.
There will be a stern letter and a few signs help up. ‘ICE Kills’
That scene hit so hard when I first saw it and it’s only gotten worse since then.
What’s it from?
The Good Place (spoilers)
Thanks!
Holy shit haven’t seen an Archie comic in a while.
Not saying they will, but the Dems totally could do something about this right now. Call and/or email your senator.
Good advice for US citizens. Call or email your Senators.
I’ve emailed Brian Schatz (who is usually considered kind of weakly progressive but folded during the earlier shutdown) twice before the shooting and requested a response. I’ve received nothing back and I’m really fucking worried he’s going to fold again.
You’d think funding the gestapo right after a public murder would be a toxic vote, but these motherfuckers always seem to weasel their way into doing absolutely nothing.
And just after they authorized more taxpayer money for the Nazis. Boy they must be just the most slightly bit embarrassed.
It’s almost like controlled opposition.
Maybe another YouTube sound bite where you try to make a MAGAt “feel ashamed?” That’ll get us there!
It is controlled opposition. I think they’ve been threatened and they’re frightened, personally.
I think they’re all rich and have more to lose from a mass uprising than they do ICE.
That’s another distinct possibility, yes
That’s Russia talk! I won’t hear another word.
