Elon Musk is upset that Somali-Americans in Minnesota get to vote. He’s also upset that Mexican-Americans in Texas get to vote. All while he himself is a South African immigrant voting in Texas… a man who came to the U.S. on a student visa without ever being a student. #BlueCrew #ProtectDemocracy

Not for nothing, but when Sen. Josh Hawley gave a speech at the National Conservatism conference this year about reigning in Big Tech, the room burst into raucous applause multiple times. Over and over, I’ve seen concerns about Big Tech emerge as one of the only pieces of pan-political agreement.

Sanctuary policies have tripled since 2016, yet body camera videos from Chicago to California show local police acting as #immigration enforcers anyway. A law professor explains why the gap between what sanctuary laws promise and what actually happens on the ground is so wide. buff.ly/j99UlMU
