yes—and also, it is not everyone's job to act like a politician! if you're not a politician, it's actually not your job at all. so if you think ice should be abolished, don't give up on saying it. politicians will never be brave unless they're scared of the rest of us.
there's more than enough people saying "prosecute and hold ICE accountable" and "reform and better train ICE" to reach the people who are thought to be reachable with incremental change, so I feel like it's time and energy well-spent, personally, to hold the line with "abolish ICE"

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

I do think the handwringing about the Kennedy Center boycott is at least a little bit the sublimated anxiety about the potential social consequences of elite capitulation under Trump II

Because it's a good day, a thread of images from fantastic show I saw last week: African-American artist Allan Rohan Crite at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. First up, Crite's luminous "Streetcar Madonna," which resonates with incoming NYC mayor's pledge to make transit more affordable

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Earlier this year, Matt Yglesias and Hakeem Jeffries urged progressives to shut up about immigration and Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Yglesias said "bad groups" were pushing Dems left on immigration and would help Trump's numbers.

Today is Primidi, 11th Frimaire in year 234 of the first French Republic. This month’s notable is Madame Roland, an important and influential Girondin. One of my goals for Pluviôse (February for our Royalist readers) will be to create high quality scans of these paintings.
