If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

I love that Trump can’t win with his Kennedy center, so he’s just closing it for two years! What the Kennedy family should do now is ask for their name to be taken off Trump‘s center and have some wealthy donors build a brand new Kennedy center.

The great part about "the conservative version of a thing they've decided is too liberal" stuff is that not even conservatives want to watch it. They want it to exist because they think it Owns and Triggers the right people, but you could fit everyone who will actually *watch* this in a phone booth.

The media is so bad at this. A film that is going to cost $75mil for 20-day documentary and purportedly made $7mil with no international audience and limited ability to make money back has strong sales? Comparing it to other "documentaries" when most don't get $35mil promotion is disengenious.

The last time we heard Trump on the phone talking to people in Georgia he was asking them, specifically, to find 11,000 votes for him in 2020 and he's in the White House today and not in jail. Anyway.

A key way that the Reaganite right came to power in the late 20th century was by building a massive, alternative media apparatus that equipped conservative activists w/ simplistic but powerful counter-arguments to what they were reading in the MSM which they were trained to call "the liberal media."

For a long time John Roberts was supposed to be the Supreme Court's savviest *politcian*, in terms of preserving its image while pushing his conservative agenda. But "I helped Trump win and now I'm locking this place down" is pretty good evidence he lost the thread

Also, it's pretty well understood that former Supreme Court clerks generally trade on their experiences with their justices in the private sector, but "also they read up on old secret case files and use that info to their clients' advantage" is a notably specific detail to include here

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

Nonviolent protest also requires discipline and self-control. It’s HARD. Your instinct as a person is to escalate or even fight. Part of why everyday Minnesotans are winning is that it’s very obvious that the side without any discipline, the side escalating to violence on a whim, is ICE.

I've been a critic of NYT for two decades--sometimes as a job--but I don't have monolithic view. There are great reporters working there. Headline writers, not so much. This is actively misleading. By framing it as a question it takes a side, asserting that he wants to w/out plausible evidence.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.
