"ICE is not an inevitable feature of the US government. It was created in the aftermath of 9/11 to turn immigration into a national security issue...The extent and scale of the abuses and failures we documented lead to only one possible road to justice: ICE must be abolished."

Sen Schumer is quoted in Semafor (10/6) as saying “If [Trump's] nominees are as crappy as his present ones, very few of them are going to get through.” VERY FEW? Try NONE. What is it going to take to get the Democratic Party to understand their role is to fight not manage the GOP?

A lot of Trumpism boils down to the belief that accurately pointing out facts to a man caught up in emotion and false conspiracy theories is a terrible wrong, one that demands retribution.

The oldest know human text was produced in the Middle East around 5,500 years ago. Since then the center of power has shifted dramatically; once great empires are now ruins. Assuming that we can know / shape events millions of years in the future -- much less thousands -- is the height of hubris.

The idea that declining crime rates is due only to "men and women in uniform" legitimizes the growth of the security state, a behemoth that includes surveillance technologies, militarized / weaponized police, and prisons and ignores the social, economic, and policy contexts in which crime occurs.

Schiff is and will be -- of that I have no doubt -- a terrible, no good, useless senator. It's as if you set out to build the absolute worst version of establishment democrats, an absolute wet noodle of a politician. Sadly, Padilla, his counterpart in the Senate, is little better. What a farce.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

Mainstream media is so unhinged. Gayle King accuses Angie Nixon of campaigning with Hasan Piker, which she did not do, and then instead of just moving on King grills Nixon about her ~hypothetically~ campaigning with Piker.

Nixon: “I have not campaigned with Mr. Piker at all, not sure where that came from”

King: “Alright my apologies, I thought that you had…would you want him to campaign with you?”

Nixon: “I don’t really know who Mr. Piker is, I’ve heard about him…”

King: “You don’t know who he is?”

Nixon: “I said I don’t really know who he is personally or anything like that I’m actually focused on Florida…”

To win a war you need, among other things, political support at home, clear objectives, the willingness to bear casualties, and allies who will support you directly or indirectly. We are hobbled in every regard and will lose this war.
