political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

The most effective way to stop 47, was to NOT ELECT 47. Elections have real consequences for ALL people who are on this soil (which is why I remain confused about ppl who withhold their vote).

And yet, we're still in this Murc's law feedback loop

So now when I see all this - and these are all LITERALLY things I saw ppl say *yesterday* "why aren't they saying it's a constitutional crisis?" "Why aren't they giving us an alternative to MAGA?" "Why aren't they stopping this?"
