👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

The conflict here is that Stancil understands the fundamental truth that a sympathetic piece in The Atlantic buys the movement more credibility in mainstream America compared to a freelancer's substack but his detractors are stuck at "The Atlantic = bad, therefore Stancil is bad for suggesting it".
these two posts next to one another show the deep unseriousness that infects our left
the attack on Stancil is nothing less than an effort to force competent professionals - the reason resistance has been more than a tiny trickle of impotent anarchists - out of our movements

For all the discussion of doxxing federal agents, there’s essentially no discussion of how those agents are taking steps that attach severe punitive measures that stretch across wide swaths of the federal bureaucracy against people acting lawfully.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
