A New Jersey Primary Shows the Depth of Democratic Fury
In the NJ Primary, '#AbolishICE' Looks Like A Winning Message

When #AnaliliaMejia, the former political director of #BernieSanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, held town halls during her recent congressional primary race in #NewJersey, she’d invite people to stay afterward for a training on nonviolent resistance to #ICE. Voters, she told me, are desperate “to understand how rising authoritarianism functions, how it’s moved in other countries, how we can best resist it through nonviolence, noncompliance and education.” Running in a special #election to fill the seat formerly held by New Jersey’s new governor, Mikie Sherrill, Mejia was determined to do “more than just traditional politics,” she said.

...She called for ICE to be abolished, not just reformed.
