There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

For starters, Democrats need to actually field a candidate against Mike Johnson, unlike the 2022 and 2024 campaigns when they let him run unopposed. The odds of unseating him will be long, but use the campaign to put him on defense and make our version of Pierre Poilievre sweat a little.

For 20 years, Carol Hui has served waffles, raised her children and embraced the small
town of Kennett, Mo. Her detention and pending deportation to Hong Kong has hit the
community hard.
Listen to this article · 9:40 min Learn more
By Jack Healy Photographs by Jamie Kelter Davis
Jack Healy interviewed residents in Kennett, Mo., and spoke by phone with Ming Li Hui from jail.
May 28, 2025
The first sign of trouble came early this month when Carol didn’t show up for her
shift at John’s Waffle and Pancake House.
She was as reliable as the sun rising over rice and melon fields in her adopted
hometown, Kennett, Mo., a conservative farming hub of 10,000 people in the state’s
southeastern boot heel, where “Missouri” becomes “Missour-uh.”
In the 20 years since she arrived from Hong Kong, she had built a life and family in
Kennett, working two waitressing jobs and cleaning houses on the side. She began
every morning at the bustling diner, serving pecan waffles, hugging customers and
reading leftover newspapers to improve her English.That all ended on April 30, when federal immigration officials summoned Carol, 45,
whose legal name is Ming Li Hui, to their office in St. Louis, a three-hour drive
from Kennett. Her partner, a Guatemalan immigrant, had voiced suspicion about
the sudden call. But “I didn’t want to run,” Ms. Hui said in a jailhouse phone
interview. “I just wanted to do the right thing.”
She was arrested and jailed to await deportation.
Ms. Hui’s detention has forced a rural Missouri county to face the fallout of
President Trump’s immigration crackdown, which was supported in theory by
many residents in this Trump-loving corner of an increasingly red America.Many are now asking how you can support Carol and also Mr. Trump.
“I voted for Donald Trump, and so did practically everyone here,” said Vanessa
Cowart, a friend of Ms. Hui from church. “But no one voted to deport moms. We
were all under the impression we were just getting rid of the gangs, the people who
came here in droves.”
She paused. “This is Carol.”
Adam Squires, a onetime candidate for mayor of Kennett, saw it differently. He did
not bear any ill will for Ms. Hui, he said, but he voted for Mr. Trump, as did 80
percent of voters in Dunklin County, and he was glad to see the deportation
campaign reach home.
“They vote for Trump, and then they get mad because the stuff starts happening,”
he said of his neighbors. “We’ve got to get rid of all the illegals. This is just a start.”Nonetheless, she was working, which people who enter as tourists are generally
not allowed to do, and her tourist visa had lapsed. Her status in the country
became a matter of dispute.
Many people in Kennett expressed outrage that a hardworking mother had spent
the past month jailed by immigration authorities.
Supporters described her as an ideal addition to a rural town where the population
is declining and the only hospital has closed.
“She’s exactly the sort of person you’d want to come to the country,” said Chuck
Earnest, a farmer. “I don’t know how this fits into the deportation problem with
Trump.”
