Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump
Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
RIP to a truly unique and inspiring intellectual
What the fuck
Didn’t think the first NYPD power struggle would start over literal snowflake bullshit
"Just 2 percent of all college students—including 3 percent of Republicans—say they feel they don’t belong on campus due to their political views."
“The middle class already pays taxes on its wealth in the form of property taxes. The wealthy don’t, since most of their wealth consists of financial assets, which are exempt from property tax. In the 19th century, by contrast, property taxes of most states fell on all assets, real and financial.”
Books do not bring drugs into prison. Prison guards bring drugs into prison.
Can we get to 4500 letters to NY City Council by tomorrow? It only takes 30 seconds: actionnetwork.org/letters/city... - Also if you've already signed, can you please get 4 others to do the same?
The reactionary centrists who took seriously and platformed the moral panics over DEI and critical race theory seriously helped this along. And now that fanatical zealots are banning “world-views” and Holocaust education they are mostly quiet.
I learned so much from this piece

“The federal invasions are usurpations—but not necessarily of police authority,” @stschrader1.bsky.social writes. Instead, they have “become opportunities to...further weaken the already fraying democratic constraints on police power.”

This article briefly previews my forthcoming book Blue Power: How Police Organized to Protect and Serve Themselves, out in April from @basicbooksgroup.bsky.social. You can preorder it w/ the discount code BLUE20 here: www.basicbooks.com/titles/stuar...
How and why police actually support the federal invasions—I have been working on this article for ~6 months, trying to make sense of Trump’s nationwide surge of DHS officers, how it has evolved, what brought us here, and what will remain after it ends.
Your weekend long read: Local cops and their union bosses have welcomed - and in some cases invited - Trump’s federal takeovers of US cities. @stschrader1.bsky.social traces this alarming synthesis of local & federal power for The New York Review archive.is/G1Bnh

We have created an impunity machine, and invited and incentivized terrible people to join it. Abolish the whole damn thing.
Just unbelievable stupidity from our "department of war"

Obviously far from central here, but when Bondi says "don't you ever accuse me of a crime" she sounds exactly like Parker Posey doing the "hotel manager" bit
I'm just a historian here noting that the US has a long history of playing up supposed incursions to justify the invasion of Mexico...

Instead of train cars, we'll have semi truck trailers of people being loaded into concentration camps where they'll race substantial likelihood of dying from neglect, malnutrition, disease, and murder.
One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
Project Salt Box @projectsaltbox.bsky.social is tracking warehouses ICE is considering buying to convert to detention facilities.
Find one in your state & stop the sale.
Bunroe Doctrine
Two years ago, a secret meeting by some AfD members with Sellner rocked the party because ”remigration” was discussed.
Today, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, calls for remigration regularly on his social media platform.
That’s how quickly the normalization has happened.
Would be interesting to compare the results on more recent models - but this problem won’t go away. LLMs are always going to be extrapolating from what has already, and often, been thought, which is why they aren’t windows to the future but anchors to the past.
