Maybe most Democrats under the age of about 45 would say this, but unfortunately the 60-85yo crowd runs the Democratic Party. Circa 2040 ICE might get what’s coming to it, but for now the Democratic party is still playing the “how conservative can I be?” game, including immigration but esp police

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

It's also worth noting that romanticizing the rule of law means adopting a wholly false perspective around what the law is, who it targets, who it privileges, and how it functions—or I suppose it could just be an embrace of that hierarchy, which is also... a problem.
