The only antidote - and I do mean the ONLY one - to Trump and Miller's xenophobia is a full-throated defense of immigration and a full-throated attack on the racism and xenophobia currently guiding immigration policy. You can't half-ass this one, you can't Very Reasonable Limits this one.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

The end of dollar hegemony will transform U.S. debt from a fiscal drag into a high-yield fusion bomb.
For decades dollarization has generated structural demand for U.S. treasuries, depressing the interest rates the U.S. needs to offer to service its debt.

one thing that I think we really don't think about is if Trump fucks up America's macro privileges or role in the international system and Americans are forced to end up dealing with a economic system that doesn't allow for the same old fiscal fixes as before
god I remember the fandom Russian zoomers on Twitter during the start of the war who were either "what can I do, I can't be held responsible" or "wow it's so mean that the West sanctioned us from our favourite fandoms"

I am very saddened to hear that Prof. Joel Primack (UCSC) passed away today. He was a huge figure in the field of galaxy formation & was a mentor to many of today’s leading practitioners. His work — often with Faber & Blumenthal — helped establish the now-standard cold dark matter model of cosmology

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.
If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.
This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.

These are the eight Senators who are selling out on the Schumer #Shutdown. Democrats, time to take a page from the constantly winning MAGA Playbook and primary the living shit out of all eight who're Durbin/IL, King/ME, Kaine/VA, Fetterman/PA, Shaheen/NH, Hassan/NH, Cortez Mastro/NV and & Rosen/NV.

Senator, it sure looks like Schumer coordinated an effort to get the votes from those not facing elections soon.
Everyone in the caucus has to be assumed to be in on it, unless they denounce it and call for new leadership.
Will you call for Schumer's resignation?

The whole GOP shutdown strategy is hoping that sheer force of propaganda can convince the public that things getting worse does not reflect badly on the people in charge of the government, and that hurting America more will get Democrats to acquiesce to the Trump admin hurting America in other ways.

“If they are using tear gas, they better be able to back it up,” U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said Oct. 28. “And if they can’t, then they will lose that as something they can use.”
