Driving up E st onto I-66 in D.C. last night and was confronted by the enormous abhorrence of an additional name on our beloved Kennedy Center. Despite media rhetoric it jarred the soul to actually see it. 😢

Washington DC has 702,000 people, is 45% Black and has 0 senators

Wyoming has 590,000 people, is 86% white and has 2 senators

DC needs a state with proper representation, not a military takeover

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:

this antivax stuff is genuinely bewildering. like what do you mean you don’t know if vaccines are safe? why exactly do you think child mortality rates have plummeted since the beginning of the 20th century? why is it that you are not worried about getting polio or smallpox anymore?
