New CNN polling: Most Americans see an immigration officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good as an inappropriate use of force. Roughly half view it as a sign of broader issues with the way ICE is operating, w/under 1/3 saying that ICE operations have made cities safer. http://www.cnn.com/2026/01/14/p…

Enten: "Americans at this point do not like ICE. And that's very different from what we saw during Trump's first term. We're talking about -17 approval rating. That's a 17 point drop from where we were during Trump's first term. Among independents, the number is even lower."

Change is coming whether party moderates want it or not."Among the 18-to-34 set, 70 percent disapprove of ICE enforcement, 65 percent say the shooting was unjustified, and 83 percent have seen video of the killing."

Window shutter in a tree

Here’s a window shutter stuck in a tree on Poppleton St, in southwest Baltimore. I walk by it most days and it has been there for about 10 days. We had a really windy day and I assume that’s when it took off. How long will it be there? You would need a ladder to take it down.

Polls on ICE

Trump has gone way too far.

lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”

Trump’s racism

Excellent post below. The Washington Post wouldn’t let me call Trump a racist in comments on their articles. To me, mainstream media is a big part of their problem when they are too cowardly to call him a liar or racist.

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins.DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?
