And do you think this would have happened had he not been Black?
I'm disappointed in you, Wajahat. I expected so much better.
Let the lawsuits commence.
Meanwhile, let’s start shutting shit down.

We Need to Be PREPARED
it's good that three people have conscience.

He disrupted their machinery of cruelty. That’s what terrifies them: a Black man with power who dares to protect the vulnerable.
Dems must wake up.
We need bodies on the ground.
If it’s not full throated ICE defunding + legal ramifications for these criminals, then there will be a primary.
Guaranteed.
No. They’re not. Wake up. Look around you at the numbers and the polls, and the state of our democracy after trying centrist lite politics for 15 fucking years.
Give me a god damn break.

The one thing the President cannot pardon is conviction from impeachment. It might be nice to keep these criminals out of office.
But what? Impeach 4O% of the country?
obviously we should try it again
We live in a DEMOCRACY. No representative should be seen as above democratic challenges in their primaries. Noone is OWED a job as a politician. They represent US.
Unless the candidate was abhorrent I would easily vote against my Dem Senator and Dem congressman in the primary.
But IMHO, my Dem governor should be the next POTUS.
Just yesterday NYT ran a piece about how the NJ governors race was too crowded and nobody was getting airtime due to national news.
Bakara just got relatively free national airtime.

Democrats: “We favor civility, bipartisanship, and decorum, okay? We do not want to upset our Republican friends. We denounce confrontation and disavow conflict. See, we’re such cowards that we shit our pants at the very thought of getting arrested!”
Keep calling your reps every day! Call and Dem/Republican leaders
Schumer, Jefferies
Johnson, Thune,

Tell them to remove Trump by impeachment or treason charges.

“All-purpose fascism enforcement” is not a valid exercise of ICE authority.
