I loved everything about the halftime show! It was like an opera or a musical where you don't need to understand every word and still understand. So much more than a concert! Brilliant! #BadBunny #halftimeshow

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

They aren't looking for criminals, never have. ICE is nothing but a terrorist organization. Bounty hunters with a license to kill.

FUN FACT:
If Kamala was POTUS right now,
NONE of our trade or diplomatic relations would be up in smoke.
NONE of our farms and agribusiness would be going belly up.
NONE of the soft power we used to get great trade opportunities would have dried up.
All of this was avoidable.

We are seven months in, and the speed with which vital civic institutions are capitulating to authoritarian demands we once would have regarded as inconceivable in an established liberal democracy is jawdropping. I hadn't thought I was polyannaish about America, but it's really stunning.
