The image below is of Rep Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D, WA3) US Congresswoman from SW Washington. In between the murder of Renee Good on 7 January and the murder of Alex Pretti on 24 January, Gluesenkamp was one of 7 Dems who voted to fund ICE. The bill would not have passed without them.

She and her husband own Dean's Car Care on NE Lombard in Portland.

@avocado_toast @Voline While I agree with you in spirit, the reality is that their districts will likely go Republican if they get primaried. Jared Golden (ME2) announced that he’s not seeking reelection this year, and the immediate favorite to win his seat is now former Maine governor Paul LePage, who brags that he was “Trump before Trump.” Bad as Golden is, LePage will be vastly worse. These folks are about as progressive as their voters will let them be.

@noahm @Voline people that vote to drastically increase the funding for secret police while Americans are being murdered in the streets are not doing the bare minimum to be considered a Democratic politician IMO. Some lines shouldn't be crossed, and some things shouldn't be negotiable.

@avocado_toast @noahm @Voline Letting the Dems get away with voting for ICE is how you get Trumpism on both sides of the ballot.

Remember that we are NOT voting for a government that's actually any good, we are voting for our weakest possible opponents for the fight that comes next. Primary these bastards, no compromise.

What's next? E-verify in the whistle making shop?
