Premise is there's numerous former Trump supporters (a) with a change of heart (b) who will change back if Dems don't flatter them. There are trivially few such people, if any.
In reality, Dems need to win back nonvoters. They won't do that by trying to placate Trumpers, they'll just look weak.

Saving America from Trump and preserving our democracy explicitly requires that people who voted for Trump change their mind. Which in turn requires that those who didn’t vote for Trump show grace and empathy to those whose change of heart came from being hurt by the guy they voted for…

like a lot of other people now, the easiest way to *lose* my Dem 2028 primary vote is to promise some sort of "turning the page" bygones be bygones. it has only been seven months into a four year term and they are laying our government to waste. even small things like this feel humiliating
I will also say that if you've ever had a problem with Airbnb and needed to deal with Airbnb's customer service: that person is now running the design of federal government websites.

If you think Gavin Newsom is fighting fascism because his comms people post, but the encampment protesters last year were out of line, or Black Lives Matter protesters went too far, or anti-ICE protesters were wrong because they flew Mexican flags, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT FIGHTING FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

some thoughts on Newsom:
1. the reason I am desperate for Literally Anyone Else to be the standard bearer is specifically his stance on trans rights - he's been bad on other issues, like homelessness, but I really worry he'll lead the Dems towards Labour if he's the guy in charge

There is no one enabling act, nor will there be one.
This is because the Supreme Court chooses which bad acts to enable, and so far their answer to Trump is, "almost all of them."

For at least the second time, a Bluesky user caught a federal criminal case - this time for threats against ICE and Tom Homan. There are screenshots if you want to see which user.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

my regular reminder that many of the wealthiest and most powerful people in this country very plainly believe in eugenics
Bill Ackman’s post about Tucker Carlson and Jeffrey Epstein has an interesting explanation for why he believes he became a billionaire:
“I inherited good genes from wonderful parents who instilled good values in me.”

Every human being who has ever picked a strawberry in the USA gets citizenship tomorrow: That’s the moderate position.
The radical position is distinguished by what happens to ICE employees after that.

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?
That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.
It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Mfer, they're not being called concentration camps, gestapo, and nazis for no reason.
They are actively using the holocaust as a blueprint and their very open about that fact.
These bullshit semantics are part of what got us here because it does nothing but give them "plausible deniability"

Comparing random staff at the Prairieland Detention Center to guards at Auschwitz is an insult to the memory of the Holocaust. It is not a death camp.
We can criticize ICE's actions and fight for due process and justice without diminishing the memory of one of history's greatest atrocities.

We’ve heard reports of guidance for DHS to “pause” raids on agricultural worksites— and we’re skeptical.
As long as Border Patrol and ICE are sweeping through farm worker communities making chaotic arrests like they did TODAY, they’re still hunting down farm workers.
