Strongly suspect this letter was probably organized quickly since multiple very outspoken dems aren't on there. Probably prioritized getting out faster rather than getting people signing

I mean it's not like AOC was light about it despite not signing

“If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too,” she wrote in a separate post. “Anyone—left, right, or center—who has highlighted the importance of constitutional rights + free speech should be sounding the alarm now.”

EDIT: AOC also already signed a seperate letter to Noem & the acting ICE director along with other NY dems making this article grossly misleading by claiming she didn't sign on

What the fuck? Seriously? How in the fuck is blatant, overt political persecution not an absolute slam-dunk policy position for any sane politician here?

Gonna be sending some nastygrams to my congresspersons today. They’re all blue, and it’s categorical bullshit that they are ignoring this.

If the holocaust happened today, this is exactly how we'd respond to it. People suck.

Uh oh! Republican Voters who will NEVER vote Democrat will NOT like this! And THOSE voters are MUCH more Important then Democrat Voters who vote Democrat!

So there are literally 14 people in the US congress who have a functional moral compass. Noted.

The lesser evil everybody!

This is pretty shameful. I’m def going to contact my legislators over this.

I know that lots (if not the vast majority) of American Israel supporters that would defend Mahmoud’s right to free speech even if they don’t support what he said.

Don't forget this gem from 2015, they're still at it and are better at it:

“Once we isolate key people, we look for people we know are in their upstream – people that they read posts from, but who themselves are less influential. We then either start flame wars with bots to derail the conversations that are influencing influential people, or else send off specific tasks for sockpuppets (changing this wording of an idea here; cause an ideological split there; etc).”

Democrats IRL: Giving standing ovations to Netanyahu, and giving him billions to kill Palestinians.

They're a brutal, vicious party, and anyone who associates with them should have to answer for their crimes against humanity.

AOC didn't sign. Disappointed but not surprised that a politician would chose not to side against their reelection chances.

EDIT:

AOC signed a different letter to DHS, which means this article is misleading.
