YIKES. On the Leonard Leo-funded Maine Wire (kudos to them for asking about this actually), Susan Collins again lies and says again that she’s “offended” at the ProPublica piece exposing her corruption and… blames George Soros. #mesen #mepolitics

Susan Collins's antisemitism did not get enough attention. "I don't think it's a coincidence that ProPublica has as some of its funders George Soros, Donald Sussman, and other [pause] left-wing billionaires."

Wilber was finally able to undergo surgery on Thursday—11 days after he was shot. “When ICE can shoot a man in the back and then barely give him any medical treatment and let him suffer, there’s a reason for that because we have gotten to a point where we see people as less than human.”

The first fascist movement to arise, the one in Italy, upon victory immediately inherited a colonial empire and within just a few years was committing a genocide in Libya. There was no discontinuity between colonialism and fascism to the Libyan resistance, the one immediately flowed into the other.

Democrats, in turn, have only gradually figured out that you can take this on by calling out bullshit aggressively and with a positive alternate vision, that is both mean to the other side, and constructive on our own behalf. This type of messaging research is YMRP's bread and butter.

The fact of the matter is that bad views are endemic across the electorate, not just young men, but Trump invested in tellingyoung men their bad views could form a coherent political ideology. This is most effective among the type of voter with the time to sit around and think about this all day.

"In one case in Texas, a 15-year-old boy with an intellectual disability wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand to find a bathroom." He ended up in ICE custody. #AbuseofPowerWatch
Andrés and Luis were arrested together, but Trump’s ICE agents often deem children unaccompanied after encountering them alone in the community. In one case in Texas, a 15-year-old boy with an intellectual disability wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand to find a bathroom. When he didn’t return, she searched for him all over before reporting him missing. Authorities found him the next day but didn’t realize he was the same boy and failed to locate a legal guardian. They contacted ICE, which sent him to ORR. He stayed in the agency’s care for 48 days, even as his mother pleaded for his release, and even after he developed appendicitis and was rushed t o the hospital for emergency surgery.
