The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

The Wall Street Journal just illustrated the core argument of my book: a system rigged to reward capital over labor is one in which even full-time work no longer secures the most basic material needs.

This is the economic order that produces the "working homeless."

ICE is recruiting by selling service as militaristic ethnonationalism, an opportunity to engage in manly, heroic violence purging the nation of immigrants and their cosmopolitan allies. The public is recoiling now that it's seeing these cracked priorities enacted.

The real news here is Peter Navarro saying lower jobs numbers *are good* because they (supposedly) indicate fewer immigrants are working in the US. Trump-MAGA ideology values sheer numbers of removals over pretty much all else because their top priority is ethnic reengineering.
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

But what if there was a way to make money from calamitous collapses in GDP? What if the wealthy didn’t just win when “number go up,” but also when “number eat shit?”

“This concession should concern everyone. A threat to anyone’s constitutional rights is a
threat to us all. Today, immigrants are being detained without due process. Tomorrow, under
the Government’s interpretation of the law, American citizens could be subject to the same
treatment.”
BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

Across our activation research, we've found it's not how much you dislike MAGA but rather whether you see their actions as rupture that indicate if you're willing to step up and change your own actions in response. Some positive movement:

China will "permanently eliminate the Stanley Cup."
Behold the predictive insights of our mad king, who convinced a healthy third of American adults to vote for his leadership. This moron is not only walking erect and jabbering at the world, he's doing it in the name of the United States of America.
Trump, in the middle of his latest unhinged Truth Social screed, claims that if Canada makes a trade deal with China, "the first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup."

Liberal patriotism is the most effective way to fight fascism.

This is why Megyn Kelly is in a frothing rage about it.

A liberalism expanded into a complete philosophy is the only way to banish reactionary extremism for decades.

We win when we think clearly, love freely, and laugh easily.
Megyn Kelly just shouting “FOOTBALL IS OURS” at Piers Morgan about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show is the perfect example of this moment in time. Put it in a time capsule and send it out into space.

I will be honest: we are not talking nearly enough about the downstream effects of these ICE and CBP deployments.

For example: landlords and debt collectors file more aggressive collection and eviction suits with dubious (or no) factual bases, knowing that the defendants won't go to the courthouse.
