The extraordinary courage of people who are documenting ICE atrocities in places like Minneapolis, at great personal risk, are also achieving something else: They're changing the public's mind about immigration. We have a rare opportunity here. 1/

How the Democrats Can Play Offense on Immigration
Typically, Democrats run for the hills when immigration comes up. But as two blue-state governors are showing, the winning play is actually to confront ICE and MAGA xenophobia head on.

Here's the part of the piece @aselrod.bsky.social is referencing. Imagine if more voters understood how hard it is for people to come here legally, and understood that Trump/GOP want it this way *precisely so that* people give up on the idea that immigration can be managed. Dems can make this point!

Maybe the most important thing in this piece is @gregsargent.bsky.social’s argument that Dems should message hard on how it’s the immigration system itself, in its stupidity and cruelty, that creates illegal immigrants.
If more people understood this, they’d talk less about “coming the right way.”

The most disturbing thing about the Epstein files isn’t what we’ve learned — it’s that after what we've learned, those involved still remain protected, still in positions of power, and shielded from accountability.
Anyone protecting them, or downplaying this, is complicit.

Reporter: Trump argued that other countries are going to pay the brunt of the tariffs, but recent research finds the exact opposite. The cost of Trump's tariffs per household was $1,000 last year, and they're seeing an increase this year to $1,300.
