A big share of future historians will conclude that the difference btw US und EU in the 2020s was not in the scale or violence of their respective deportation enforcement regimes but in the scale and ferocity of public opposition to it. On average, Europeans cared far less.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Mycket bra av @maxjerneck.bsky.social

Det går inte att neutralisera SD genom att anpassa sig till deras politik, följden blir bara att man hamnar på en plats där man inte vill vara....
Genom att kopiera Sverigedemokraternas migrationspolitik trodde Socialdemokraterna att konflikten skulle försvinna.

I stället har man hjälpt SD att bana väg för ännu extremare förslag, skriver @maxjerneck.bsky.social.

Nästan alla svenskar har fått mindre pengar i plånboken sedan 2021. Förutom den rikaste tiondelen. De har rakt igenom kostnadskrisen fått stigande kapitalinkomster och kraftigt sänkta skatter. Detta är inte en rimlig politisk prioritering

A Labour government official at the height of the global financial crisis advising a US Big bank how to aggressively attack that same Labour government, via a convicted pedofile.
New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor.

Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time.

A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

A quick take on Warsh.

In terms of ideology and theory, at first glance he looks like a fairly standard pre-2008 'hawk' but he's perhaps closer to 80s monetarism: he thinks inflation is caused by government spending and money printing. 1/n

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.
They seem to be making a habit of it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
