Arguably, there was real, meaningful for credit for it but not sufficient to remain in power. American incumbents outperformed their global counterparts. The difference between "deliverism failed outright" and "deliverism was necessary but not sufficient" is important.

The regime and many of its supporters are surprised to see so many people in America define "Us" as "my neighbors, my city, my state, my country," rather than as "my race and gender." And they seem to have real trouble processing the idea of taking risks to help others and stand on principle.

I still can't get over the fact that between 2017-2023, opposing Trump was very good politics, netting Dems many significant wins. Then Trump wins one fluky election - probably based more on inflation than anything else - and the Dems decide to stop fighting.

The corollary to this is that when actual GOP elected officials and their allies throw Hitler salutes or tweet things like “these foreign vermin should get the Final Solution amirite!” it doesn’t reflect on the GOP as a whole. The same commentators would gouge their eyes out rather than see that.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

This is a craven, evil take. Also, it's hypocritical and senseless - these infighting, Dems-in-disarray stories distract from the tariff messaging at least as much as fighting lawless kidnapping and destruction of human rights does. For nothing but the thrill of being a source of anonymous gossip.

10 national unions repping 3 million members demand the release of abducted immigrant workers and call for employers and university admins to refuse to cooperate and elected officials to “find their spines.” This is the way. labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...

Ten national unions and dozens of locals representing more than 3 million members have issued a joint statement demanding the release of immigrant workers recently snatched by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The statement names farmworker union leader Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez, who was picked up in what appears to be blatant retaliation for his organizing; SEIU Local 925 member Lewelyn Dixon, a University of Washington lab technician detained on her way home from visiting family; SEIU Local 509 member Rumeysa Ozturk, a graduate student whose detention by federal agents was captured in chilling footage; sheet metal worker Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a SMART Local 100 apprentice who was sent to El Salvador’s notorious prison complex; and United Auto Workers Local 2710 member Mahmoud Khalil, abducted by federal agents in front of his eight-months-pregnant wife.

The unions are also calling on employers, university administrators, and local governments to refuse to cooperate—and demanding that elected officials “find their spines.”
