MAGA is a movement of America haters who despise this country and are conspiring to destroy it
Springfield, too, has been given new life by immigrants. A once-thriving manufacturing hub, its fortunes so collapsed that in 2012 it was regularly called the unhappiest city in America. In 2014, seeking to stem population decline, the city launched its “Welcome Springfield” campaign to attract immigrants. Haitians, many of whom had been given T.P.S. status after a devastating 2010 earthquake, responded. As new manufacturing jobs were created in the city, more immigrants followed. Many Haitians who settled in Springfield had children. The city stopped shrinking; in 2023, there was a tiny population increase. On Sunday evening, Rose Goute, a Haitian restaurant, was almost deserted. “People stay home,” said Jean Philistin, a 50-year-old who was there picking up takeout. “People are scared.” He said he was less frightened than many others because he became a citizen a few years ago, though he wasn’t sure how much that would matter. “The worst thing is, since you’ve got an accent, or since you’re Black, they can stop you for no reason.” Philistin had been a civil engineer back in Haiti and now worked refurbishing houses. He has two teenage children, both born in America. “I don’t know why they hate my community,” he said sadly.

This is an excellent point. As someone who studies and teaches about White House staff I will definitely watch—but will wait until it is available for streaming free…

Is it any wonder why people are so down on the institutional Democratic Party??? It’s impossible to win seats if the party can’t even bother to put up candidates—and in a wave year!!! Great job @nvdems.bsky.social @democraticpartyhq.bsky.social

Not an exaggeration. “All I’m asking for is a piece of ice!”
