Everything was fine until Trump decided to unleash violent raids w/o grounds in elementary schools, shopping areas, & peaceful public spaces.
ICE then illegally blocked Members of Congress entry into the facilities they are disappearing people into, escalating the situation.
Let’s start there.

This is like the "there would be fewer abortions with sex ed and contraception" argument. The right doesn't literally want fewer abortions. They want control. Dems can't credibly offer them what they really want: white patriarchy.

white centrists will look you dead in the eyes & say “it’s not fair to depict ICE agents as cartoon villains” while ICE is Gestapo kidnapping 9 year olds from courthouses.

And! If you DO try it hurts you in two ways. You fail to give people what they want (because that's impossible!) AND you reinforce the impression that you're a party of glib empty suits who believe in absolutely nothing and will say whatever a poll tells them is popular. Lose-lose. Not great.

It is hard to grasp but large masses of Americans are both racist/xenophobic AND not racist/xenophobic enough to applaud what Trump is doing. It's goldilocks shit, they want a level of racism/xenophobia calibrated exactly to their personal preferences, and you just can't make that policy. Don't try.

sure it's easy to say "defund the police" but who will you call when you're in danger and you need somebody to roll in guns blazing and kill you before you can identify yourself then plant a gun on your corpse

Ro Khanna on Twitter: Democrats should work with RFK Jr and Elon Musk and if they don't they're sanctimonious scolds
Ro Khanna on Bluesky: I don't have anything to do with Elon and in fact want to subpoena him!

In city after city, police are the single biggest budget item.
And I don’t mean like 2% when everything else is 1%. I mean like 40%.
Police take priority over drug treatment, psych care, housing, etc etc etc.
And now we are here.
