It's a reality TV presidency. Of course they want a film crew to show off ICE harassing citizens. They want to make sure everyone sees it so MAGA can cheer, and everyone else will be afraid. The optics are more important to them than the reality.

Oh, honorable mention:

You can learn about Marxism without ever having to pick up Capital, Volume 1, or anything else that Marx ever wrote.

Same goes for Foucault.

The problem with the so-called "nonviolence" of the Civil Rights Era is that it is misnarrated. The retelling in the "American myth of progress" version of the Civil Rights movement was that it was completely nonviolent.

That is not true. Plus let's call it its full name "nonviolent direct action"

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..
