Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.
And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.

Independent journalism is absolutely a form of resistance, thanks to the important work of @marisakabas.bsky.social @autonomynews.co @404media.co @assignedmedia.org @boltsmag.org.

βThereβs been a lot of stuff that, on paper, shouldnβt be legal, that nonetheless has managed to happen under this administration, and Iβm very eyes-open on that,β Urquhart said. βIβm concerned about legal and government suppression, more broadly. I take it very seriously. I try and be really aware of what the risks are.β
A benefit of having a gazillion little indie news outlets is that we're much more difficult for the administration to suppress. Titans can be felled. A swarm has no weakpoint to target.
Thanks to @mallorycarra.com for telling the story of independent journalism as a tool of resistance in the US.
