I’m pretty sure that’s a reference to the midterm elections in November 2026

    I’ve just read the letter. Please, let’s not spread misinformation, things are bad enough as is.

    The letter demanded the voter database, among a couple of other sensitive databases. It never said ICE would leave if they comply. It only promised that peace would return to the streets, whatever the hell that means. I highly doubt they mean withdrawing ICE, especially considering they keep painting them as completely peaceful, and considering they demand a shit ton of cooperation in that letter as well, essentially letting ICE in everywhere. So in fact, it’s almost the opposite - they demanded that and also demanded more access for ICE.

      I really appreciate it when people want to set the record straight like this, and you’re right, the truth is probably worse than this post. But it’s not as sensational so people will gravitate to the bullshit tweet instead. Which is the same phenomenon which gave us trump to begin with. 🤦‍♂️
