Stop interior immigration enforcement, full stop. If someone without legal status is convicted of a crime, the Marshalls can deport them after their sentence

The lesson to learn here is that interior immigration enforcement wounds our country by forcing out talented people who want to live here and make it better. The Times reporting convincingly shows he lied about his background, but their reporting also suggests he was making students’ lives better

Trump’s Texts to CNN Host Renew Health Speculation CNN viewers demanded “proof of life” after the 79-year-old president conducted the interview entirely by text.

Im a big fan of doing (survey) interviews over text message, but maybe ask the President of the United States to go on camera www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-texts...

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion

One thing about a #KavanaughStop that people should pay attention to (beyond the cruelty it enables) is that much of our law is based on Supreme Court justices just making up facts and ideas about the world. Time and again, they just invent things to justify their conclusions, both left and right.

When the military of Sovereign State A moves into Sovereign State B, against the wishes of the civilians & leadership of Sovereign State B, that is called an invasion. The only plausible motive here is for Republican states to show their power over Democratic states, to terrorize US into submission.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

We simply don't have to accept this is how law enforcement is allowed to operate in this country

ICE impersonator incidents rise during Trump’s second term | CNN A CNN review has found two dozen incidents of people posing as ICE officers in 2025 – more incidents than during the prior four presidential terms combined.

Every network should be diving into this story: www.cnn.com/2025/10/02/u...

We simply do not have to to settle for a country where it is okay to masked thugs who refuse to identify themselves are allowed to kidnap our neighbors off streets

I was not criticizing moderators, just noting that 9-12 people will always be idiosyncratic in ways we cannot understand without testing qual insights in quantitative large n data

For every horrific act of fascist abuse you’ve seen video of in recent months, there are hundreds that you’ll never even hear about.

Trying out different strategies to see what will fly with SCOTUS before rolling out whatever he can get away with in late October 2026?

Cooked Indian food for first time in a while. Always fun to revisit recipes

Someone should redo Hamlet as a horror movie. Shouldn’t be that hard given the body count

I didn’t claim otherwise, and really I haven’t see anyone who does. You’re engaged in some strawman argumentation here

Qualitative research gets into the heads of the people you talk to, but uncertain how those insights generalize

Survey research (and extensive scholarship grounded in it) shows that public opinion is *not* a purely exogenous force on politics, but is responsive to cues. Politicians both follow public opinion as well as lead it. Blaming polls for politicians doing the former instead of the latter is just silly

There is nothing wrong with political strategy - including progressive political strategy - being informed by polling. After all, good strategy starts with good intelligence.

The key is to understand public opinion as dynamic rather than static, even if any given poll is a snapshot frozen in time

Sigh. Is someone going to have to write another defense of surveys from a progressive perspective?

That is what happens when sick people who get off on abusing others can act without impunity

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

So much to mourn here. ICE shot and killed a single father just after he has dropped his two kids off at daycare. Their justification for stopping him was traffic violations form 12 years ago. Their justification for shooting him was that he was driving away.

A completely needless tragedy.

This is not true, as eminent Roman archaeologist and coin expert Emanuel Mayer notes below:

Is it a good watch?

It’s true. I was not even remotely close to being alive.

Bad Bunny, born in Puerto Rico, is a US citizen. It’s far past time that everyone realized that what is happening has nothing to do with immigration status and is just gutter racism

I wasn’t saying it was intentional
