Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Neighbors, if you haven't figured it out yet, this 👇 is true. I witnessed this in Chicago this summer. ICE is really just an armed group of red state maga idealogues who have always hated what they call "Liberal America", and they're going around "punishing liberals" who are American citizens. 👎🖕
Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement.

Trump is doing to politics what biz schools taught future CEOs to do: break the social contract (e.g., the one btw mgmt & labor that once ensured steady jobs) & extract all the value stored inside.
This will have the same effect on politics as it did on the labor mkt: instability & immiseration.

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

it simply cannot go on like this. and it cannot be the case that going on like this is a regular feature of electoral cycles either. something has to be done about the violent white nationalist movement.

This isn't going to go well for Venezuelans, unfortunately. This admin is utterly incompetent, stupid, and greedy.
even direct involvement in what happens when arrogant dipshits attempt regime change can’t disabuse him of his juvenile belief that the only thing matters is the immediate, short-term outcome

There's no oscillation. A program designed to force a white supremacist society to include people who are being unnaturally restricted is not discriminatory, and is good.
White christian conservatives wouldn't be able to handle actual discrimination. They can't even handle equality. Weak.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Nice, succinct overview of what the crazies are up to.
I only saw this after we published. But it just underscores what I'm arguing here. This isn't just "catfight" nonsense. This is a serious rift in MAGA.
But also, Erika is going to fail. As I explain in this article, Candace Owens has every incentive to keep at it.

A recent piece on RFK’s approach to health policy called it “decision-based evidence-making,” and that seems an apt way to describe this whole administration.

the whole treatise that regulation is just inherently bad is libertarian toddler gibberish. none of these writers or thinkers are interesting; they're propped up by the extraction class owners of consolidated media because the real conversation we need to have threatens their wealth and status
