Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE.

Literally, "abolishing."

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

Having grown up a white kid in the Jim Crow south, Iโ€™d now say that pretty much was slavery, though I didnโ€™t start to understand that until my early teens.

I don't think people's problem with, for example, the paper's decade-long crusade putting a big ol' target on trans people's backs can be accurately described as NYT doing "reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want."

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

The science doesnโ€™t seem so settled after all, and itโ€™s important to understand what happened here. The approach of left-of-center Americans and our institutions โ€” to assume that when a scientific organization releases a โ€œpolicy statementโ€ on a hot-button issue, that the policy statement must be accurate โ€” is a deeply naรฏve understanding of science, human nature and politics, and how they intersect.

At a time when more and more Americans are turning away from expert authority in favor of YouTube quacks and their ilk โ€” and when our own government is pushing scientifically baseless policies on childhood vaccination and climate change โ€” itโ€™s vital that the organizations that represent mainstream science be open, honest and transparent about politically charged issues. If they arenโ€™t, thereโ€™s simply no good reason to trust them.

This is anti-vaxx logic. It is not "naive" to accept the conclusions of experts in technical fields.

One time I posted about one of my kids and her gender journey one trans visibility day and this dude Singal posted some made up speculation about us that was completely wrong. Then he deleted it when people called him out, but he never apologized or anything. ๐Ÿคฎ

They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for meโ€” and I welcome their hatred.

Something I think about often is, if a Democrat said this today, it would've been a hot mic moment and they'd have to apologize and say it was out of context. FDR said it at Madison Square Garden, 3 days before a presidential election

Two things are true:

1. ICE cannot be reformed.
2. We donโ€™t need armed ICE officers anyway.

So nuke the entire agency altogether.

If someone legitimately dangerous needs to be removed, that task can be delegated to another Fed agency or local cops.
