The less voters knew, the more they liked Trump in 2024. Not Anymore
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

There are very few Democrats that I will not vote for: I voted for and ENDORSED Kamala Harris, for instance, in the last election.
Gavin Newsom is one of them. His election would be an active threat to transgender people, and I lay out the case in my piece.

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked
Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

i do think this gets into a thing where the vibe of a Democrat is a woke college student activist and the vibe of a Republican is Trump doing the YMCA dance. it makes absolutely no sense
It’s kinda funny how the chief defense of “mass deportations now” at the RNC was “oh voters didn’t see that” but they were apparently absolutely dialed into pronouns and land acknowledgments at the DNC
Straight up just Republicans

They do this so their employees & customers don't get kidnapped by ICE. People were already abducted from their parking lot just trying to feed their families. Abhorrent.

When Trump latched onto the phrase "gender ideology" in his EOs, it stood out as overtly eliminationist language. But popularized originally as an anti-feminism slogan by the Vatican, it became endemic in the UK in the past decade and has become arguably the most visible explicitly anti-trans term.
