The window of what was considered career-ending has shifted so far since 2016 it’s beyond shocking. And the press has played a huge role in it with their “he’s just a different guy” schtick 🤮
It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.
Trump: "They're paid agitators and insurrectionists. Nobody talks about the fact that $19 billion at a minimum is missing in Minnesota, given to a large degree by Somalians. They've taken it. Somalians. A lot of very low IQ people."

I’m sending my spouse to Finland as often as I can! What a wonderful gesture. Being married to a tenure-track academic is not without its pain points.

But read, eg, Heather McGhee's book "Sum of Us." You will learn that in post-segregation America, *thousands* of public pools were ripped out, because white people would rather not have pools at all than allow blacks to enjoy them. That's Deal 2! Examples abound.

tl;dr Don't let them bait you. Poorly prepared or complicit media. Sleight of hand doublespeak. Terrible people playing hero, doubling down, virtue signaling, cosplaying victim while perpetrating social violence. Decent people fall for it.

Alert sounds could be interpreted by ICE as a confirmation signal that people need to hide from ICE. That suggests apprehension opportunities exist in the area. And noise supplies 'distress content' to fuel & please their base & leaders. But communities show audible+visual solidarity & resistance.
Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino says that the whistles and honking actually help the feds make apprehensions. I witnessed the complete opposite in New Orleans.
