This is exactly the wrong lesson to take. "Core Dems are furious that the party is failing, but don't worry, they'll probably come back."
Taking voters for granted is exactly how we end up in this mess to begin with. And the longer voters feel ignored, the more of them won't come back.

My suspicion about the recent (gruesome) Dem favorability polls confirmed by @gelliottmorris.com - D numbers are being driven down by lower favorability *among Ds* right now. Those folks will overwhelmingly come home as elections draw closer. False panic. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democratic...

Mosquitoes are a theme of concentration camp degradation and environmental torture, appearing repeatedly from the first accounts of camps in 1890s Cuba up through today. It's not by chance that Everglades detainees can't sleep due to mosquitoes and are subjected to them when they are wet and naked.

“It should be illegal for you to be mean to me and legal for me to kill you” is basically the Republican platform.
All the Republican examples of "violent" rhetoric from Democrats is someone like Tim Walz saying "these people are assholes, you should be rude to them" and all the Republican equivalents are a guy with a top-secret security clearance tweeting "I will personally kill Ilhan Omar with a gun"

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.
He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.
