“Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them," AFGE National President Everett Kelley said in a statement.
“Public reporting has established that Mr. Miller is the driving force behind the administration’s harsh immigration agenda," he continued. “He personally directed its implementation and used high-pressure tactics to force compliance across the federal government. These were not abstract policy choices. They were imposed from the top and enforced without regard for the consequences.”
Yes, but also let’s be careful about scapegoating when the entire administration is to blame. It’s not like their removal will make fascism go away, it’ll just be less obnoxious, more easy to ignore.
In for a penny, in for a pound, they all must go.
Not just go, these people are covering up crimes and conspiring to create conditions where more crimes will occur. They need to go to jail.
This is an interadministrational problem. DHS and ICE were created two decades ago and have been overseen by both Democratic and Republican executive administrations and congressional legislatures.
This is what they agree on, this is the plan. You are in a pincer movement.
It’s something (words – maybe not ‘something’ in these times). But will the union demand their members to strike? I mean, that’s the most (only) meaningful action a Union can do; it’s sort of what they’re for, right? Right?
It’s a felony for federal workers to strike. Kinda makes you wonder why federal employees even have unions, but that’s the capitalist hellscape we live in…

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Felony, in a lawless land? Break your chains.
I am outside the US so I didn’t know this. So… Unions, whose biggest and perhaps only effective weapon against exploitation, the strike, cannot, by law, call for a strike. And it’s a federal offense for federal workers to do so?
Wow. Just Wow. Why even have a union?
The last time federal workers went on strike, Reagan fired every air traffic controller. We’re still trying to recover from THAT, 40 years on.
We’re also about to have a mass retirement because of it
Unions can strike. Unions of critical services workers, like air traffic control and police, can not legally. This is the first time I read that federal employees can not.
Unions can still be useful, even if their most powerful tool is taken away.
But will the union demand their members to strike? I mean, that’s the most (only) meaningful action a Union can do; it’s sort of what they’re for, right? Right?
Do you think strikes are the only thing unions do?
I beleive that USA has something called “Fellony Murder” (or similar)?
