No I am arguing that if America doesn't reckon with reality we will simply continue the same horrifying pattern of setting fire to everything, putting it out halfway and then acting shocked that the fire comes back over and over.

From @theathletic.com: Tom Brady wasn’t bad as a rookie NFL analyst with Fox, but he wasn’t great either. So, he rethought his preparation as he entered his second year.

Tom Brady knew he needed to improve on TV. So he channeled his ‘quarterback’ days
Brady and the Fox team around him describe how Brady made a leap this season in his NFL TV analysis.

That's 50/50 on ABOLISHING ICE. Not, "this is concerning" or "something must be done", FULL ABOLITION.
That would be like a 50/50 poll on nationalizing grocery stores.

People are waving around 50/50 polling on abolish ICE and in the same poll Trump’s is like 30 points under water on affordability. It’s not at all crazy for professional politicians to think there’s a bigger advantage in talking about the latter!

Folks, if Richard Hanania now wants to fight the administration, racism and fascism, you let him do it and don't grind his nose in all the shit he did to make it happen until after the fight is won.
You don't trust him, you don't rely on him. But you don't shit on his claimed conversion. Yet.

Step aside, "we can't build housing because trees", there's a new challenger for worst idea wrapped inside a left-coded veneer!
hi from Minneapolis. these folks are catastrophically overthinking it; the immediate need when agents hit a block is for people that speak *any* language to know it's not safe to go out. that need is far more pressing than whatever this infantilizing "actually it's racist to make noise" shit is.
