Counterpoint: Democrats do understand this and they see their job as moving the public toward the opinion that nothing better is possible.

Yeah I mean the *2024 exit polls* found 56% support path to legal status for most undocumented versus only 40% deportations. Entire commentariat has pretended not to know this for the last year or so

Dr Jack Fletcher: "We are turning away thousands of doctors at a time when corridor care is endemic in the NHS"
Everybody who relies on the NHS (almost all of us!) should be supporting the resident doctors, because if their demands are met we'll have more doctors & better care

Trump: Strongly Antisemitic Harvard University has been feeding a lot of "nonsense" to The Failing New York Times. Harvard has been, for a long time, behaving very badly! They wanted to do a convoluted job training concept, but it was turned down in that it was wholly inadequate and would not have been, in our opinion, successful.
It was merely a way of Harvard getting out of a large cash settlement of more than 500 Million Dollars, a number that should be much higher for the serious and heinous illegalities that they have committed. This should be a Criminal, not Civil, event, and Harvard will have to live with the consequences of their wrongdoings. In any event, this case will continue until justice is served. Dr. Alan Garber, the President of Harvard, has done a terrible job of rectifying a very bad
Trump: has done a terrible job of rectifying a very bad situation for his institution and, more importantly, America, itself. He was hired AFTER the antisemitism charges were brought - I wonder why??? We are now seeking One Billion Dollars in damages, and want nothing further to do, into the future, with Harvard University. As The Failing New York Times clearly stated, "Some connected to the University, however, think
Harvard has no option but to eventually cut a deal. The Administration has repeatedly attempted to cut off research grants, which would be an untenable crises. Like many major research universities, Harvard relies on federal funding for its financial model." Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.

This happening is despicable and being defended by so many people in power who we must get out of office immediately.
I haven't seen this anywhere else but Truthout, which is part of why I have supported them with a monthly donation for several years. Please join me if you can.

MAYOR ACTION
Mayor did not sign this action within the time specified by City Charter.
This action is valid and effective as if approved by the Mayor.
Calling on the State of Minnesota and Governor Walz to enact an eviction moratorium to keep Minneapolis families in their homes and protect them from ICE.
We need an EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW.
Our neighbors risk being separated from their families when they go to work. They also run the risk of being displaced if they don’t.
Sadly, Mayor Frey refused to sign the resolution calling on the Governor to enact this moratorium.
