Very interesting interview with a Salvadoran journalist on @revealnews.org suggesting Trump agreed to send Bukele certain MS-13 members to help the dictator cover up a deal he made with them before his last election. Maybe one reason the administration is so hush hush? revealnews.org/podcast/trum...

Immigration was a central reason the US pandemic recovery was better than other countries. Population has increased both because of immigrants arriving and because they’re having kids — native members of a group called “Americans.” On the other hand, though: racism.

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov Do NOT support the reactionary Trump budget, not in the wimpy Chuck Schumer abject surrender way or in any other way. Fight for our country, for our future, for sanity. Do not just surrender our children to this chaos.

The @nytimes.com and its imitators have rendered the term “conservative” utterly meaningless in order to maintain the myth of an endless principled conflict between right and left, ignoring the reality that the right is now just a cult of personality with zero principles left.
