If I'm correct it's because Democratic electeds and consultants want to win by default, that is reach a political equilibrium in which the GOP are seen as too extreme to govern, and a plurality of voters have no choice but to elect Democrats. This results in sliding right and taking the temperature.

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”
i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Tottenham is just not as good as their fans (and indeed, their board, for different reasons) think they are. Until that changes they will continue to churn through managers and finish mid-table or worse.

at this point I think anyone whose position isn't "restrictions on human movement are incompatible with human rights" is just worthless. how can you watch the last ten years and still think any kind of "immigration court" has a reason to exist.
massively increase the number of immigration judges, make them real courts, and give as many people as possible clean in-out decisions within in 90 days is the 'install linux, problem solved' of immigration issues in that the solution is not really complicated, it's just really hard

The only way we protect ourselves from ICE is by winning the midterms.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me"
you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

I bet we could make a good version of the SS if staffed correctly.
definitely not opposed to doing both, but to lay it out: ICE is just an agency populated by people, and in theory it could be populated by anyone to serve any purpose, whereas murderers and kidnappers should be in prison, plain and simple

Order the police to arrest them, then. Order the police to drive them from the state or these are just words from a boy mayor trying to sound like a big man.
Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

In graduate school book club one of the military historians had us read a recent Tom Clancy like techno-thriller. I got the audiobook because I prefer to listen to casual reads. Anyway at the discussion I borrowed a professor's hard copy and checked the back: all marketing from defense contractors.

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.
