NO EVIDENCE EXISTS SHOWING THAT VOTING BY NON-CITIZENS IS A REAL PROBLEM, but Donald Trump confidant Steve Bannon is still calling for ICE and the U.S. Army to surround swing-state polling places in a show of force for the midterm elections.

I had a funny conversation with a Canadian recently who said they were puzzled at how Trump got elected because they’ve never met a single american who didn’t hate him. I was like yeah his people don’t travel, and they were like ohhhhh that makes sense.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

The most disturbing new trend in ICE behavior is agents escorting legal observers who are out patrolling our neighborhoods to their home, stopping, exiting the vehicle and pointing at their house. The message they're sending is pretty clear.

Imagine if a loved one were posting and behaving like the president of the United States. You would be in tears, or afraid, but you would be contacting the authorities. I am not being coy, or cute. A real person you knew who behaved like this would be a danger to themselves and others.

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time.

If so, is there as much moderate support for Trumpism today as there was white Republican support for white supremacy in the 1890s? Have we gone that far down the road?
Given current public sentiment, I do not think so.
