what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!
Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the *general goal* of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process.
Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued:

If your kid is into Harry Potter, I get it. Try to introduce them to new things and try to explain Rowling’s bigotry as they get older. But dont get them into Harry Potter because you loved if they’re not already at this stage.

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..."

Opinion | DOGE says it’s saving $100 billion. It’s about to lose a lot more.
Cuts to the IRS will backfire by giving tax evaders a free pass.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

if you like something that target or amazon carries and you still want that product, go to the manufacturer's website and see if you can order it directly from them.
it's saved me from giving either of them money, and it's equally as convenient as using the target or amazon apps.

I wonder how many women car passengers are killed each year in crashes when their male partners drive recklessly.
There’s nothing attractive or sexy about a man who speeds and drives aggressively. In fact, it’s the opposite. It reeks of insecurity and is childish.

I hate that wellness got co-opted by the right because there really is a good conversation to have about our food systems and what goes into foods that could be harming us, but instead of passing regulations on food companies like other countries it’s going to be “you can’t buy snacks with SNAP”

New Jersey just raised tolls on the Turnpike. Should drivers from New York get a break? What about drivers in New Jersey? Congestion pricing opponents' logic falls apart the moment you give it a second of scrutiny.

I know this seems like a minor thing, but something that should be considered in any messaging about this crisis is that Trump explicitly lied about this agenda. They knew Project 2025 was unpopular, that they could not win by running on it, and now they claim a mandate to act on their lies. No.

It's been 3 weeks since Congestion Relief Zone tolling went into effect, and the program is working!
We're seeing traffic move quicker into and within Manhattan, which benefits all New Yorkers—drivers, bus riders, emergency vehicle operators, pedestrians, and more.
