🗃️ Some really great research by @chasewoodruff.bsky.social, especially in consulting with @romeoguzman.bsky.social to contextualize Evans’ narrative.

10/10 no notes, only to say most salient point is that legality is not fixed, rather, it reflects politics & social values of historical moment.
Colorado Republican Rep. Gabe Evans has centered his pro-Trump political identity — and his support for mass deportation — on the story of his Mexican-American grandfather, who he has repeatedly said immigrated “the legal way.”

Documents show that isn’t true.

Trump can no longer tell the difference between Harvard and Harlem. If you want to cover severe cognitive decline in a president, you have an opportunity right now.
asked by Stephen A. Smith about his Harvard shakedown, Trump starts ranting about Harlem and says "I got a very high Black vote"

It's no accident that immigrants end up in Louisiana detention centers. Immigration judges there deny 3/4 of all cases, the 5th Circuit is extremely conservative, and local communities in the state are turning a profit locking-up immigrants in their jails

5 million dollar gold cards for immigrants is Trump’s idea of immigration reform.

Maybe he should sell get out of jail free cards too.

Trump has shut down an anti-communist arm of US foreign policy (USAID), blown up free trade deals (USMCA), and is calling for the US to seize Gaza to build a seaside resort.

We live in interesting times. Neoliberalism is out, and a new form of 19th-century imperialism is back.
