We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us
The agent admits he treats immigrants like "they're animals" and that he tells his kids that they are animals "all the time"

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Genuinely interesting how deeply Trump does not believe in the idea of gains through trade. People accuse others of having a zero-sum worldview, but here that is made really really clear and explicit. He just flat out sees it as one side winning and another losing if they exchange goods or services!

Finally reading Neumann's Behemoth (LSE social theorists represent) and struck once more by just how common it was to believe in late 19th/early 20th C. that capitalist economies invariably develop into a clique of monopolies and cartels - even among pro-capitalist, who simply thought this was good.
