Jesus Christ, public opinion is not some static thing that has to be “respected” by politicians.
Politicians should work to shape it, to make the case for their priorities and positions, to win over voters to *their* ideas not convince voters that they agree with them.

This exchange drives me nuts. Neither the interviewer nor Bazelon acknowledges that 1) abortion rights are really popular! and 2) what ICE is doing is hugely unpopular!

In Los Angeles, California, a man’s father was abducted and kidnapped by ICE. While attempting to locate him using a GPS tracker in his car, they discovered that his stolen truck was being driven around by an ICE Bounty Hunter during his off-duty period from December 2nd to December 3rd.

Proud to have spoken, and calling out my congressman Warren Davidson for not representing us.
Two college students also spoke. Here was a Miami senior calling out the no-show Congressman, and speaking out the attacks on higher Ed at both the federal and state level:

Poor dumb young people; indoctrinated by the evidence of their eyes and ears; living in a bubble of what is actually happening instead of here in the real world of billionaire donor events and funder dinners.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

For example, one thing that Sen Schiff has done to stand up to attacks on his people is voting to confirm several Trump judges and members of his administration, as recently as an AL district judge on 10/24/25.
“But amanda how is that standing up to attacks on his people” he does it while frowning

When it comes to standing up to attacks on our people and our democracy, my advice is this:
Don't try to do everything. Find one thing you can do to mitigate the harms. If everyone does that, we'll get through this.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

People have served multiple year sentences for “exposing” law enforcement to fentanyl, which is not a thing, while these people are freely and openly doing large-scale theft of public property, kidnapping American citizens, torturing people, and indiscriminately murdering foreign citizens in boats.

We don’t need to reform ICE.
We don’t need alternatives to ICE.
We don’t need to engage in dishonest debates wondering what the U.S. would do without ICE.
ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

Trump is filling his government with Nazis, consolidating authoritarian power, and eroding democracy at every chance.
And yet these 86 House Democrats voted for a right-wing messaging amendment to say that the real authoritarians are the socialists.
