  1. Do it, and the party should officially call for primarying the ones who don’t. No more capitulating to fascist murderers.

  2. Good i hope they actually follow through but no doubt Fetterman is going to be against it.

  3. Every Dem who is up for re-election should be running on an abolish ICE stance. If not, primary them out.

  4. How about this. Shutdown the WHOLE government until the Regime leaves office. Starve the beast until they are out.

  5. They’ll just fold like they did with healthcare. Fucking had them dead to rights and they gave in in the end. I’m left leaning but HOLY FUCK do they love to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

  6. My household relies on foodstamps. (Disabled employed adult, elderly retired adult, two college students, and a teenager). We will all suffer when Trump and the Republicans throw a hissy fit and lash out over being denied and we will all bear it. My family has lined up at food pantries before and we will do it again. We will live on beans and rice and canned veggies. If we can bear discomfort and hunger, the dems in congress have no fucking excuse to back down. Stand up for the people who have died, Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and every human being who has been murdered in ICE concentration camps.

    If the dems back down on this matter they will have truly abandoned us and we will have no reason to trust those in power to save us. When we cannot rely on them we must rely on ourselves and I don’t think anyone is going to enjoy what happens when we are pushed to that. This is not the end of our anger it is the beginning.

  7. I need every democratic politician to know this. If your nominee for any position I get a vote for in 2026 voted for a single dollar in ICE funding after the summary execution of Renee Good (and now Alex Pretti), they will not receive my vote. Not in a primary (obviously) but not in the general either. I **will** vote third party. Plan your nominees accordingly.

  8. “*Threaten*”?

    Yeah *now’s* the time to **act**. In fact, it’s long past the time to act. Threats hold zero value now, or ever with this administration. Time to take off the gloves and get dirty.

    Democrats need to start actually doing something. They blinked last time and got played

    Hopefully they’ve learned this time.

    Absolutely do it. For Renee Good. For Alex Pretti. For Minneapolis. And for all the Americans suffering more and more each day.

  10. STOP THREATENING AND JUST DO IT! No more compliance, no more cooperation, no more decorum, no more norms. Our government has turned against its citizens, no more taxes to be paid, no more jobs to work, shut it all down! Our politicians work for us, it’s time we remind them that people shouldn’t be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people and the consequences of attacking them.

  11. Do it. And don’t cave this time. And air every bit of evidence that shows that ICE agents murdered 2 civilians. Investigate it. And let’s get justice.

  12. Democrats refuse to fund masked secret police executing American citizens.

    Sorry axios, you had some typos there.

    BTW Hans Nickolas and Stephen Neukam, how does Steven Miller’s dick taste? Id bet its gross, but… actually I am gonna kink shame. Fuck you, you sniveling weasels.

    Democrats need to do something about the abuse of federal power. People are dying. We need a real leader against the abuses of this MAGA government.

    Just wondering if the deep pit where you found a spine also contains a few metric tons of whoop ass?!!

  15. Dont threaten, just do it. You’re supposed to be the other half if this. Tired of sound bite antics, actually do somethingÂ
