@stephruhle.bsky.social Max Rose is a 1-term c’man who is consistently the least interesting & persuasive guest on your show. He was particularly weak tonight (Dem governors should put state troops & local law at polling places to counter ICE, what??) Please reconsider his presence on your show.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Every congressperson who cares about this country needs to say this any time a reporter asks about Trump’s latest word salad. “The president is mentally ill and needs to be removed before he destroys America.”
