Dear Dems: Polling shows only *generalized* approval of Trump on immigration, but broad opposition to the lawless specifics. If you don't engage on Abrego Garcia and other illegal kidnappings, you only *help* Trump subsume all that under "keeping out illegals." newrepublic.com/article/1941...

In 1860, conservatives blamed wildfires in Texas on abolitionists and “Lincolnites.” Many were executed merely on suspicion of being vaguely against slavery that year. Pretty easy to see the parallels to claims that “wokeness” and “DEI” are behind California fires today.
Text of an 1860 newspaper on reports to this effect, reprinting a NY Herald account. The Herald was a really vile paper in those days.
