Why Shame No Longer Works in American Politics
While it once played a role in binding society, shame has lost its power—and so have the liberal tools that depend on it.

We’re in the phase where Americans, press included, should be considering all news originating with the government as propaganda first. Its institutional tendency is to evade good-faith dialogue with the public.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We can, in essence, likely neuter the total number of districts that Trump is looking to get with Abbott in rigging those [Texas] maps, here in the state of California. Hope other governors consider doing similar things. You've got to fight fire with fire."

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

That's nearly 4% of the American people who will lose their health insurance.
Nearly 12 million people could lose health care coverage if the bill gets passed and signed by Trump, while hospitals would be hit hard by Medicaid cuts. www.wired.com/story/trumps...

Speaking quite frankly, this is a man admitting his only real policy is to obliterate immigrant populations even if that destroys living conditions across the US. Fun!
Expert calculate that the Big Ugly Bill will kill 51,000 people EACH YEAR
The CBO determined it will cause 11.8 million Americans to lose Medicaid
Unions charge it will cost millions of jobs
And it will literally take food from hungry kids
But-to JD Vance
This is immaterial
Immeasurably cruel

Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

"…Between 2015 and 2020"
This is a GAO report, so it took time to compile, so it doesn't go up to the present day. So I guess we'll have to wait awhile to find out how many US citizens ICE deported 2020-2024, or this year alone.
Post-Trump, going "back to normal" with ICE won't solve the problem

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable.
