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”

New YouGov poll finds a majority of Americans believe ICE agent Jonathan Ross should be charged for killing Renee Good. Despite repeated lies from the Trump administration, Americans watched the videos and are demanding accountability.

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?

Posts on Bob Weir

I really like Bob Weir’s’ solo album Ace (1972). It’s a lot like Grateful Dead albums from that time but a lot livelier.

Netflix has a good biography of Weir.

Rest easy, Bob Weir 💛

Outstanding article on former federal employees

They were fired by Trump or left because of him. This article humanizes the situation by focusing on individuals. As a retired federal employee, I really appreciate the value of institutional knowledge. Trump will have a permanent negative impact on the government and all

At the end of Donald Trump’s first year back in office, roughly 300,000 fewer Americans worked for the government. Franklin Foer spoke with 50 federal employees who were either fired or forced out:

Noem claims the left is using vehicles as weapons – the right is actually doing it.

Noem: "People need to stop using their vehicles as weapons … it's clear that it's being coordinated. People are being trained"

There are several examples like the one below of people using cars as weapons against anti-ICE protesters abc7ny.com/post/several…

Noem should do something about them but she probably approves of attacks on anti-ice protesters.
