Trump crafts and transmits a message to tourists: if you come, we may well kidnap you and send you to a concentration camp somewhere. That depresses tourism and devastates the US hospitality industry. What a shocker. bsky.app/profile/sema...

Thread. This is part of that stupid border wall project, in a National Park that is coincidentally remote from population centers on either side of the US border with Mexico. Migrants have never crossed there in large numbers, but Trump wants his vanity project. From @biologicaldiversity.org

Patel, month after month, has been mostly failing at his original mission to weaponize the FBI against Trump’s political enemies, but he is certainly succeeding at turning the FBI into a laughingstock, which in some ways will likely prove even more damaging to our country over the long term.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.
