NEW! Today we
@immcouncil.org
released our new framework for a credible and humane interior immigration enforcement system. What does that look like? It starts with four basic principles: - Compliance - Safety - Proportionality - Accountability

Labour will say “your strategy of implementing proportional representation and putting forth a sensible left-wing agenda pales in comparison to my strategy of winning over Reform voters” and then not win over any Reform voters.

I would love to watch a Lebowski / Tremors / Dune crossover about a washed up hippie who takes too may hallucinogens and starts thinking they’re Paul Atreides at the same time that their small desert town runs into graboids.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders. I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward THREAD

How to stop a dictator

The background to Jeb Bush’s “please clap” comment in 2016 was actually way more depressing in retrospect — he was saying he wasn’t going to be a divisive jerk and his audience of Republican voters just sat there stone-faced.

I'm glad to see you finally acknowledging it, but I'm surprised that you're not really grappling with why you were personally so late to recognizing it or dismissive of people who got there earlier. Seems like an opportunity for reflection or like some mea culpas might be due.

I do think there is something like The Blob and I also think it cannot be blamed for Trump’s foreign policy decisions. Both are bad, albeit in distinct ways.

There is a reason that consolidating control over the media system is one of the very first things that authoritarians do, every single time. And Trump has sought to do exactly that. We need to build and maintain a strong opposition press with a big reach:

If you’re going to say that, the least you can do is be logically consistent and oppose nominating him on the grounds that you might accidentally make Kavanaugh’s evil doppelgänger a Supreme Court justice.

Imma be real with you guys the "TESCREAL" stuff is basically the libleft version of rightist paranoia over "Cultural Marxism", where you just smash together a half-dozen things that annoy you and go "these things are all connected and being pushed by a nefarious secret cabal of my political enemies"

It's fitting that "kitchen table issues" is a reference to sitting down at your kitchen table to pay your snail-mail bills and balance your checkbook on physical paper, something which has been obsolete for decades.
