This Substack focuses on a recap on the news, ballot watch, and a college aged outlook on strategy for Democrats. https://substack.com/@nooneaskedbutpolitics
I wrote this reflective piece about the moment we are in last night, on the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

I see many similarities between 1930s Germany and what we are seeing now. I lay out the similarities I see and how disturbing it all is.

Thank you to @whstancil.bsky.social for standing up and calling this ICE brutality for what it is. He is right that those who film this Gestapo-like tactics are heroes.
Yes - they all know this could happen and they do it anyway. The reason it’s so unambiguous what happened is that the call had gone out and many people instantly rushed to the scene. Running towards danger. Heroes
I tell you what, Mr. Stancil, today is proving beyond a shadow of a doubt why having so many observers filming is so important, and also how dangerous that job is.

@rokhanna.bsky.social is right, we need to abolish ICE. Read my latest Substack Below👇
ICE officers fired multiple shots and killed an American who was on the ground.

It has become a rogue, militarized police in our communities.

Democrats can't vote for Laken Riley or tripled ICE budgets and pretend to be an opposition party.

Tear it down & build a new agency.

@hunterw.bsky.social brings up a key point. But I think it has more to do with swing districts up for tight elections in 2026, and will lead to scaring voters to not show up.
I cant help but notice that Trump's most aggressive ICE deployments have occurred in places run by Dems in the 2028 mix; Chicago and Pritzker, Los Angeles and Newsom, and Minnesota and Walz.

Hot take: mainstream media spends more time chasing clicks than covering real threats — and they cave to Trump and corporate pressure too.

What do you think is their biggest failure right now? Reply below 👇

@marklemley.bsky.social is right. I typically hesitate to refer to things to the Holocaust or pre-holocaust Germany, but unfortunately, this is exactly what the Gestapo did.

Statements like this coming from @ginafortexas.bsky.social prove why she would be a stellar Governor of Texas. If you are in Texas, pls vote for her, and if not pls donate.
Another American has been shot and killed in the street by ICE in MN.

Children are being torn from their homes and sent to taxpayer-funded private prisons in TX run by Abbott’s donors.

They use cruelty to mask the corruption and no one is safe. This inhumanity has to stop.

(Thread 1 of 6) Sorry for the bad news, but I condense it so you don’t have to sift through the noise. My goal: cut through the BS, tell the truth, then give my take based on lived experience.

Election Night is coming — what are you watching? 🗳️

Between Virginia’s governor race, New York City’s three-way mayoral fight, and California’s redistricting ballot measure — this could be one of the most unpredictable election nights in years.

I started writing because yelling at the TV wasn’t cutting it anymore. What finally pushed you from frustrated observer to doing something?
(I’ll go first: writing my Substack, No One Asked But, has been my therapy and activism rolled into one.)

The pro-democracy tent now includes everyone from Liz Cheney to the “abolish capitalism” crowd.
My new column looks at how Democrats manage both sides of that chaos — and when lying down with dogs gets you fleas.

This will ruffle both Republicans and Democrats.

Unfortunately, expecting MSM to do their job is not something we can count on. We need to support independent journalists from the biggest platforms to the smallest Substacks. That’s how we take this country back. #MSM #Canada #Reagan #Immigration #LetitiaJames #Ovaloffice

While I think it is a hard thing to ask avg Americans to do a long term economic boycott, I do think that doing one on Black Friday could be effective. Not totally sold on that, but I think that would be the smartest.

Great to see @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social and @axios.com founder Mike Allen at @politicsprose.bsky.social to talk about his new book 1929. Very illuminating. Thanks for asking my question.
