In his two decades at Arizona State Univ, Michael Crow has been the most innovative and creative figure in American higher ed. (And I mean, in a good way.) Here he makes a point that should be obvious to everyone except Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Trump himself. www.wsj.com/opinion/inte...

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

Republicans get news from a fairly concentrated group of sources, and one rises to the top: Fox News. 57% of Republicans say they regularly get news from the cable network, at least double the share who say they turn to any other news source we asked about.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
