I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

As my book will argue, demanding good things once drove politics in the US. Real things happened as a result but such an audacious politics was not to last. The vibes of morning in America replaced the fierce demand for a New Deal. So here we are.
I feel like so much of politics has turned into “well, if you give a mouse a cookie…” politics, without interrogating the fact that we actually deserve food and a warm, comfortable place to sleep and free hours in the day.
