Gavin Newsom went on TV, called Tom Homan a bitch, and said he if he wanted arrest him he knew where to find him. Maxine Waters told an ICE agent to his if they planned to shoot her they should at least shoot straight.
I really don't know what you want from them right now.

Democratic voters issued a massive rebuke of their own party last year by just refusing to show up on election day & instead of a major shakeup its leaders are spending big on consultants to find a Youtube salesman that can help a small group of septuagenarians no one likes cling to power.

three years ago the New York Times published an op-ed by a college student complaining about the chilling effect of feeling "disdain" from fellow students, because the New York Times wanted to convince America the real threat to free expression was something other than a looming right-wing autocracy

If you think this canβt happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

I think progressives have had a problem with "purity tests" (the need for all leaders to have tightly aligned perspectives or else stay quiet about it)

Itβs worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignationβand a criminal investigation.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works.
America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused.
It is why we dominate in tech globally.
