<breaks out the little tin drum yet again> our qual studies last year found limited anti-migrant sentiment, even with Republicans. concern over immigration was entirely about a perception that the border was out of control, which we saw across the board. anti-migrant beliefs are not mainstream.
Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.

I failed to get a screen grab but very much enjoyed an AI-generated news item in my google feed about UNM beating CSU 40-10 on the back of a dynamic offense and strong, suffocating defense.
That game hasn’t been played yet. it kicks off on Saturday.

tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I want to thank all the veterans who have served this country, but especially the transgender veterans who served and still desire to serve in spite of being treated like 2nd class citizens by the very country they defend. Thank you all for your service.

increasingly of the view that anyone who doesn't sound like a maniac when discussing the state and future of the various Powers That Be isn't serious
I realize I sound like a maniac, btw.

listen to this and know that lamenting time is over, and that we resume that hard, unglamorous work by which the victory will be won

been clear for a while that many of our Dem colleagues - electeds & pros - won’t be in our number come the victory. add a few more names to that list. we’ll do it without them.
a friend reminds me: people whose names we don’t yet know will be front & center of the fight, too. we‘ll win this thing
