AOC making the same correct point that civil rights advocates made in the 1950s: democracies are strongest when we live up to our values
"... to act out these paradoxes, whether it is kidnapping a foreign head of state, whether it is threatening our allies to colonize Greenland, whether it is looking the other way in a genocide. Hypocrisies are vulnerabilities, and they threaten democracies globally."

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

This isn’t a setback. This is deliberately thwarting the research and development of safe and effective medicine.
The FDA has refused to accept an application from Moderna to review its first mRNA seasonal flu vaccine, the company said, in another setback for the technology that’s been a target of some Trump administration health officials. https://cnn.it/4kt8iyn

Honestly, it has to be a weird time to be a figure in pop culture due the president being Literally The Worst. Like, Elmo can say sharing is good and somebody in his X mentions will say “Elmo, you rotten son of a bitch. This goes against everything President Trump stands for.” And that’s not wrong.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

The only thing Ronald Reagan would be to the left of the modern Republican party on is immigration. That's literally it.
Ronald Reagan could run as a Democrat today.
This is a problem.

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

GenAI has really crystalized for me how art is not pictures or sounds but rather a medium for human expression, for taking some part of the human experience (often an emotion) and bottling it up on a page or film or recording, for others to experience.
Because GenAI doesn't have human experiences.

AOC: "This really isn't just about Democrats. This is about Democrats, Republicans, and independents. There has been this permission structure where we have all universally accepted that the GOP will simply just have no morals, or fall in line, and we have to challenge that logic and rhetoric."

DHS in general was a bad re-org.
Give TSA and the air marshals to DOT, customs and civil immigration to state, criminal immigration enforcement to justice, the natsec shit to Justice/DoD, etc.
Only border patrol is the one that doesn’t neatly fit into any already existing cabinet portfolio.
