Yeah I mean the *2024 exit polls* found 56% support path to legal status for most undocumented versus only 40% deportations. Entire commentariat has pretended not to know this for the last year or so
Here's the thing: This was true in 2024. In the very same surveys where media shouted from rooftops that majorities supported "mass deportation" MORE people supported having people stay. But the latter didn't merit airtime. Chart credit: @mikepod.bsky.social

Just switch parties already
Fetterman on Fox News: "Shutting DHS down will have no impact on ICE. The director confirmed to my face in a hearing just this week, saying it has no impact because they already were funded with the big beautiful bill that I did not vote for. Why are all the Dems going to shutdown our entire DHS?"

NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.
The government keeps doing it nonetheless.

The NYT appears to have edited their incorrect paragraphs on public opinion toward Trump’s immigration policies, completely changing the meaning of the paragraph and not offering a note on the piece. Cmon…
There's been a substantial edit, with no correction noted in the article as of now.

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

Same. Even earlier than that, actually. Most of my best friends are from elementary school.
I weirdly have a ton of close friends from middle and high school but almost none from college.
watching John Green talk about his buddy from high school who is still his friend and I’m curious, is that common for people on here?

Murphy gets it
DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

Good to see some journalism is still being done.
I interviewed a family of Russian asylum seekers who’ve been held more than four months at the Dilley detention center in Texas.
As we spoke over Zoom this week, their daughter Kamilla was one day shy of turning 12. I asked her what she wanted for her birthday.
She replied: “To get out of here.”

A Russian couple and their children sought asylum in the U.S. In a Texas detention center, they say they endured worms in the food and hourslong waits for medicine.

They better hope there isn’t a Hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
