This knowledge should be the baseline requirement for operating as a pundit in this country. If you don’t understand that “unskilled” labor is infinitely more valuable than whatever tf punditry is, then you have nothing to offer our politics

For every thousand sexual assaults in the United States, there are eleven (11) convictions. And about three of those are incorrect and based on racial profiling.

So please miss me with the "we need the carceral state because of all the rapists" line. It's a myth.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

“Abolish ice” at this point is the conservative position.

Everyone involved in the administration at any level is going to have to be tried for crimes against humanity and dealt with accordingly.

This isn’t going away with elections and we certainly cannot “come together” after this.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.

If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.

It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

Let’s be clear though—law enforcement ROUTINELY embellishes shit like this. Media doesn’t talk about it bc their typical victims are not well-to-do white men who go viral.

It’s a jury question, but the answer SHOULD be no. Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely for a judge to dismiss something like this before it gets to trial. Most people are forced into pleading out—thus protecting the cops from this kind of embarrassment.

This has been my favorite part about the race! The GOP position is: “remember how we lied about Obama being an African communist? Well this Mamdani guy REALLY is an African communist!”

It's okay if Andrew Cuomo can't say Zohran Mamdani's name right.

He can just call him "Mr. Mayor".

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 7d

the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.
