Democrats doing right-wing talking points on immigration and "the border" --to really an unusual degree-- was bad policy and it was bad politics.

This was Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s finest day with this organization… and Alejandro Kirk’s. Kevin Gausman’s, too.

Agreed. Interesting piece on what judges can/can't do for democracy, and a few tips for the Dems thrown in for good measure.

Can Judicial Resistance Last?

The law can protect democracy—but only up to a certain point. After that, it’s up to the people. And there’s the challenge.

OK let me do a little thread.

Contrary to popular belief, state funding for public colleges did NOT go down overall during the neoliberal era. That widely repeated result seems mostly be be an artifact of unusually low post-2008 levels.

But...

graph of per-FTE student funding, 1980-2024. cycles around $10,500 until a big dip in 2008 and then a gradual recovery back to previous levels starting in 2012

The actual issue here is that we shouldn't do air force flyovers for anything. Dumb, expensive, jingoistic nonsense that promotes the worst aspect of patriotism.
