Hot take but the president openly calling for the murder of his political opposition should be grounds for immediate impeachment and removal for office.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

These folks are fighting just as hard as the GOP - but in different ways- against the sea change of younger, brown liberal folks that are becoming the majority of this country.

If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

I’m terribly disappointed in him.

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

The correct unit of municipal budget analysis is not dollars but "Cost of Policing (CoP) days/hours"

You take total money spent on cops over the year (including OT and settlements) and divide by 365 to get one CoP day
New from me: The police are defunding our cities. In LA, LAPD’s growing liability lawsuits are costing taxpayers millions of dollars in payouts. $400m in payouts since 2019. The biggest culprits: protests, police shootings, and car collisions. More👇

Inside LAPD's nearly $400M settlement crisis that's bankrupting LA
Taxpayers are covering civil rights violations and officer misconduct while basic city services face cuts—and a new audit could reveal whether LAPD is doing anything to stop the pattern.

Unpopular Opinion:

People calling for ICE agents to unmask and/or wear body cams are missing the point because that still gives legitimacy to their operations.

The focus needs to be on preventing kidnappings, driving them out/stopping them and dismantling the agency, not cosmetic changes.

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

Please amplify this demand. We need y'all. I was there. We were not in the road. ICE simply let loose on us to film themselves brutalizing and arresting protesters—and state police assisted them. They brought charges against scattered people to create a pretext for this inexcusable violence.

bit by bit, the administration is laying the groundwork and actually carrying out a system of repressing democratic life in america. redefining opposition as terrorism, targeting critics, investigating civic funders.
