Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Nobody at the time of the American Revolution would have thought of themselves as part of "Western civilization" because the term really didn't even exist yet. It started percolating through elite discourse only in the late 19th C. and didn't become a common vernacular term until the early 20th.
rubio’s invocation of “western civilization” — defined here as racial and religious chauvinism, if not outright supremacy — is a rejection of the more egalitarian and universalistic notions that came out of america’s two revolutions.

ICYMI, new piece from me:
Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.
Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Yeah I mean the *2024 exit polls* found 56% support path to legal status for most undocumented versus only 40% deportations. Entire commentariat has pretended not to know this for the last year or so
Here's the thing: This was true in 2024. In the very same surveys where media shouted from rooftops that majorities supported "mass deportation" MORE people supported having people stay. But the latter didn't merit airtime. Chart credit: @mikepod.bsky.social

The SAVE Act is an election power grab that could block millions of eligible voters.
Let’s be clear: we’ve already seen U.S. citizens detained by ICE despite having proof of citizenship. Now we’re supposed to trust this same government to police paperwork at the ballot box? tinyurl.com/yhwj7b77

It's a sign that things are changing that Dems are now circulating strategy memos saying they can take this issue on directly.
This is striking: New Senate Majority PAC poll finds that GOP's advantage on immigration has been wiped out by unpopularity of Trump's agenda. Dems now at parity with Republicans.
This is a Dem poll but it dovetails with what other polls are showing (see piece/thread below)

After a couple of hours of failed spin, the GOP has now acknowledged it lost and needs either a new lawsuit or to try to go to SCOTUS. I predicted this an hour ago.
I can safely say, the new "legal action" will fail and Virginia voters will decide.

In general, if the blue line is above the orange, debt/gdp will decline
If the Bush tax cuts had expired on schedule and the Trump tax cuts had never been enacted, blue > orange (dashed)
Instead, spending projections are down! But revenue is down MUCH more (dotted)
