Unfortunately, all the people I've spoken to who weren't already "abolish ice" do seem to equate it with "end immigration enforcement"
Kristi Noem's DHS killed Americans, stole their property, deported the wrong people, siphoned taxpayer money to her political allies, defied court orders, and ferried her aide/lover on taxpayer-funded jets. To bring America together, Democrats must pledge to never prosecute her for any of this.
I continue to believe that this is true for most acts of our sovereign taken individually
"libs like" is actually his least betonian quality, since libs seemed, at least until colbert, somewhat divided between him and crockett
Mostly by mincing words. Vagaries of coming together, hedges on policy to get the slip n slide ready for the general election. It's the playbook, and texas still being texas we know how it's gonna go
I was told the same of beto once upon a time... I think we should all know now what word mincers become when they grow up (I don't want my op to be mistaken as support for the sound and fury candidate either)
Talarico is going to win and then become the latest mediocre moderate to get Beto'd in November by 8 points
Another big reason obsessive poll-sniffing is silly: “Public opinion” on most issues quite literally does not exist. It is an ephemeral artifact of the process of polling itself. Ask again a day later with slightly different wording & the numbers change radically.
For a lot of us guys who got PTSD while in the logistics department at Abu Ghraib, Operation Epic Bacon is payback for what those sand people did to Pat Tillman and the dancing Israelis
Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.
Notice that conservatives never say this about progressives. And also that they're kicking our ass
Why constantly give conservatives get-off-free cards? "It isn't conservative to believe [horrible thing conservatives explicitly believe]" -- it should be "if you don't believe [horrible thing conservatives explicitly believe] you're progressive, whether you realize or not!"
It is! This is literally what conservatives say being conservative is all about!

Heck we're approaching the 20 year anniversary of FF13
I love our biennial tradition of forcing the world's greatest athletes to watch two hours of figurative art

Joy Harjo, "Without" (2021)
Equally succinct as an explanation of why he appeals to the christian right
Good point
Choosing to read "mean" as "badass" and not "jerk"

Good thing those categories never overlap!
The list is overwhelming, so if you're looking for a ideas, neighborhood PTOs (vetted by the teachers' union) have been an important allocator of aid, and Unidos/Monarca operate the observer trainings and abduction hotline. Even small amounts add up
Regardless of what actually happens with ICE, the impacts will not disappear tomorrow. Lots of our orgs, school PTOs, food banks, and more will still need help doing their vital work to fight back against our governments' coordinated assault

Certainly our democratic mayor, democratic governor, and several members of our democratic congressional delegation do
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:
