This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the βbaby jailβ in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But itβs routine. And disgusting.

Trump is saying that he will disregard Congress and issue an Excutive order that will violate the Constitution.
Here is my promise: If he does that, we will sue and we will win. Just like we did the last time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how weβre building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw

A white native-born American, living in the parts of the country where white native-born men still hold disproportionate power, is the only fully "real" American in the eyes of many.
"working politicians" use discourse to communicate. If FoxNews and the Trump years have taught anything, it's that discourse shapes public opinion, powerfully.
there is no unmediated way of communicating without taking a stance, without "shaping opinion". Yglesias appears to presume there is.
Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
This is so spot on

Seems kinda bad?
When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

When thereβs a mass shooting in the US, Trump rushes to blame the left.
He stokes fear & division and rarely says anything about the victims.
In Canada, all party leaders went to pay their respects in Tumbler Ridge.
They held hands, placed flowers & showed unity.
Thatβs how it should be done.
a perennial issue is that people just refuse to believe that the republican party is as far gone as it is.

Trumpβs DOJ tried to charge me with a crime simply for saying something they didnβt like. Think about that. This is after DOD already censured and threatened to demote me.
He wants to make an example out of me and scare Americans from speaking out against him. Donβt let it work.
