A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

The forces of anti-immigration are not only destructive but a perversion, a profanity, a con. The Democrats should go on the offensive, demanding that the immigration system be burned down and rebuilt so the burden of proof is no longer on immigrants but on the government to assume their humanity.
editorialboard.com
Before the Democrats can free immigrants, they must free themselves from the GOP
The GOP has taken a maximal position that requires a maximal counter-position.

On CNN, Collins discussed Schmitt’s Senate hearing flop with Democratic strategist Paul Begala, who called it “feeble” and “stupid.” “I‘m glad he did it, OK? Because now we can see what a mental giant Sen. Schmitt is. It’s spectacularly stupid, I have to say."

In many red states, it's simply a question of whether you can get Trump's endorsement. So we wind up with idiots like Eric Schmitt, Tuberville and Darline Graham, if she wins I mean, Georgia Republicans nominated Herschel Walker because Trump told them to, for G-d's sake. And he almost beat Ossoff

DOJ has charged Wilber Garcés with felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer, based on the allegation he struck an ICE officer with his sideview mirror when driving off after the initial traffic stop. He was then chased for 8 minutes, rammed, and then shot.
Image 1: the agent is standing in front of the driver’s side mirror, with the mirror at waist height.Image 2: the agent now has has hands on the car as it starts to move. The mirror appears to be very slightly in contact with his waist.Image 3: the agent has pulled his hips back and the mirror is no longer touching the agent.

Daß du aber dieß und jenes Urtheil als Sprache des Gewissens hörst, also, daß du Etwas als recht empfindest, kann seine Ursache darin haben, daß du nie über dich nachgedacht hast und blindlings annahmst, was dir als recht von Kindheit an bezeichnet worden ist.
But the mere fact that you take this or that judgment as the voice of conscience, and that consequently you feel a thing to be right, may be due to the fact that you have never given the matter much independent thought, and have instead blindly accepted from childhood whatever you were told was right.
