A November YouGov poll had ICE favorability underwater by 14 points among all Americans and 37(!) points among political independents today.yougov.com/politics/art...

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

Whether it’s Pete Buttigieg learning to speak eight languages or Donald Trump successfully identifying a giraffe, there’s plenty of intellectual accomplishments on both sides of the aisle.

Not that it will but the willingness of Americans to obey is a very funny contrast with our self-image and should probably prompt some reflection bsky.app/profile/jonf...

This catches something really important. The risk is less that this crew changes the regime and more that while trying to do so they cash out the whole thing. Which is one more powerful reason why resistance is patriotic.

There is actual racial discrimination occurring and people are suffering but sure, let’s focus on the musings of a bunch of elite white men posting from their elite positions about how they are the primary victims of racial discrimination in this country. www.propublica.org/article/trum...
