This scenario is exactly why I don't want my 80-yr old Mom to go to her community center if deportations start in Miami. At least not until I'm 100% sure ICE won't go to a place like that. She's naturalized but barely speaks English. All it would take is an agent having a bad day.
The Mayor of Newark says ICE detained citizens and a military veteran in a warrantless raid there today. www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

The thing Democrats don't want to face is that Trump isn't their only problem, and they aren't defeating his regime without addressing at least some of the others. The United States has a lot of problems that desperately need solving, and we saw Biden, those problems don't go away with Trump 2/🧵

Amongst the many, many other faults and follies of the party, perhaps the single most dangerous problem with the Democratic Party today is their incessant habit of reinforcing the idea that there is absolutely *no* principle that matters, no policy that is sacrosanct that they will stand behind.
The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

“Trey’s death evoked the collective memory of a community that has suffered a historic wound over many, many years and many, many deaths." Colin Kaerpernick is paying for an independent autopsy for Demartravion “Trey” Reed, a Mississippi college student who was found hanging from a tree.

Surveillance footage shows a Starbucks worker did not write “Loser” on a drink ordered in honor of Charlie Kirk, despite a right-wing activist generating outrage over the incident that led to the coffee shop's temporary closure

I think the reason for this is pretty straightforward: the largest cohort of cross-pressured swing voters in the United States are people who are cross-pressured because they are secular but racist
People really need to reckon with why people will vote for pro-choice referendums and pro-life candidates at the same time. This isn’t an argument for a pro-life candidate but it is a suggestion that voting the referendums don’t refute the point.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent once agreed to occupy two different houses as his "principal residence" at the same time, mortgage docs show — the same kind of contradictory pledges Trump has been using to try to oust Fed Governor Lisa Cook (there's no evidence Cook actually did that).

Every “centrist” or beltway brained pundit that suggests giving up some of your rights or just one or two small minority groups to get those critical Mitt Romney Republicans sounds stupider/more paid off than the last one.
I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

What this means in practice, however is that the people responsible for the defeat, the people with the most power and influence, will absolve themselves just in time to lose again. This is exacerbated by the fact that many of the same people have concluded that fighting fascism is unpopular.

There is empirical evidence showing that conservatives tend to have a larger amygdala, the part of the brain colloquially known as the fear center. They're basically hardwired to be weirdly scared all the time and see threats everywhere. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

They're weirdly scared. A lot. > Authoritarian followers, when growing up, probably lived in a scarier world than most kids do, with a lot more boogeymen hiding in dark places, and they’re still scared as adults. [...] theauthoritarians.org

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.
