74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.
Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.
"With Congress-approved funding, ICE detention is expected to triple in size, mirroring the scale of Japanese internment." #AbolishICE
At one point I created a TiKTok account for my craft business bc it seemed like that was where, you know, all the people had gone, but I never really took to it (I hate video) and so rarely used it. This was a good reminder to just delete the account.

Listening to this one now and just got to the receipts part—I’ve read some articles about this that indicate it’s actually true! Now I’m wondering if I’ve been a sucker for believing them. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/w...
'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present.
