Yeah, I don't hate some of her initiatives I am just suspicious of any 'new centrism' the NYT comes along selling.

It does assume adoption of a specific definition of what 'lower-income' is: rural and white. Harris lost the economic (not racial) demo only 48-50%.

And from the WSJ:

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

The shooting of Renee Good, like all of the ICE abuses, is symptomatic of a deeper mental illness.
