Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.

You know, many of us said the post 9/11 War on Terror measures were Orwellian bullshit at the time, from DHS to ICE. The Patriot Act was chilling as well.
Some of us objected vociferously. Perhaps we didn't have the mics or the power, but we remember 2001-2005 as a terrible time in this country.

What other conclusion can we draw than that these politicians do not oppose what Trump is doing but want to appear as though they do?

ICE just announced another death at a camp in El Paso.
2025 was the deadliest year on record for ICE detention.
2026 is shaping up to be much worse.
What’s happening in these camps causing so much death?
6 deaths that we know of.
It’s only Jan 18th.

This is sort of thing is proof that Jentleson's Searchlight project isn't actually about saving democracy.
This isn't a left-right ideological issue. But it blows me away that anyone who is actually anti-Trump would think running back Joe Biden/Merrick Garland 2.0 will work the second time. No political party can tolerate a very large, armed secret police force committed to murdering its voters.

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo
Many Americans are terrible neighbors to each other, and that is why MN is striking everyone as extraordinary activism... when they are telling us that it is not. They're good neighbors!
It's no wonder that "being a shitty neighbor" is the hallmark of our domestic politics and our foreign policy.

It's precisely because we respect the "academic enterprise" that we criticize someone who proudly states that they're just trying be edgy and provocative by lazily churning out a half-baked historical argument in service of authoritarianism.
I want to address my friend Ilan who says here that he has been subject to “a lot of hate” from academics who “should know better” and haven’t respected the “academic enterprise.”
I don’t dislike Ilan. I also think his paper is fundamentally wrong and not scholarly.

There's a good explanation for this. It turned out they didn't have enough lawyers to cover up the president's countless sex crimes so they had to bring in hundreds of additional ones and well that takes time

This is important & revealing. Gallego is from AZ. He ran to the right of Dems in 2024 on immigration. The fact he's saying this speaks volumes. He sees where the public is on ICE. Tear it down. Build another non-police-state-freak-show immigration enforcement agency.
