Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

What is it about the Home Office which inculcates in Home Secretaries (going back to Blunkett and May) this performative cruelty?
And where is any evidence it works?
Other than amping up xenophobia does borrowing Trump’s ICE rhetoric actually it have any deterrence effect?
