This is so concerning, I believe they could start "Deporting" citizens of Blue states. I would like to add that ICE is using the same Palantir Systems Architecture that Isreal has been using to commit a partially automated, bloody, nonhuman, despicable, Crime of Crimes, Genocide on Palestine. Its now being unleashed in the new MAGAfest Destiny....

If #PresidentNeverMyFault is still in charge by the end of 2025 it will be at least 10 years before the US can recover - perhaps never to be a world leader again. I hope not but the damage being done and the loss of trust is enormous. The rest of the world does not want to leave their fate in the hands of who wins Wisconsin every 4 years.

After the weekend, I believe that the world will count the American people are great, just not the current 'leadership', and the MAGA group. The MAGA 's are losing credence by the day, and as for Crumple, he has no standing at all.

Great again? It always makes me think of Krystal Lake, the young woman working as a cashier who wore the 'America Was Never Great' hat. (And received death threats for it).

Waj, I love you and what you do.

BUT angry white people who for the first time, suffer what black and brown people have suffered for years, AND now LBGT CHILDREN

Can we hear from them? Normal people who can tell you what they do, dailyl, to stand up to this oppressive white population. No, I'm not a "blamer". I am white. But forcing myself out of my community for twenty years, I go across a border daily, just to go home aftere my teaching days. THIS, I think, is the root of how Trump came to be. White people were afraid, that the border would dissolve and they will have to live like that. Assignation of white people? I think addressing this would give your fantastic left hook some real validity. Electric people assinated? It's ok if it is NOT a white person. Please unify us. Please use your resources to reach out to people who can teachd US, how to survive. Please give them respect. It would change the social order who let this happen. Black/brown oppression was CHOSEN because the white people wanted THAT border to be held. Please take this to heart, no matter what you do. In the name of all my brown/black students who know so much more than anyone.

Nitpicking. Your work is very valuable, Waj. And thank you for keeping it affordable! You're one of my very few to-go-tos, and that includes Heather C Richardson, Timothy Snyder, Olga Lautmann, and Col. Vindman.

Great show indeed! When the Dems have an agenda they must also attach realistic $$$ to it. I was just watching an interview with Mamdani, who I hope will be the next mayor New York, and he has numbers for all his proposed programs. If you don't have the numbers out there an agenda becomes a series of generalities. (Dems are inclined to go "vote for us because we're the good guys." Not good enough!)So let us know Dems how you plan to finance Medicare for All, for example; that way it becomes real. How do you get the health insurance companies out of the way, or bring them in? These aren't gotcha questions, they're practicalities. I get Medicare because I'm as old as hell, and everyone should be covered of course. It's only decent. You'll get the votes Dems if you get down to earth about the items on the agenda.

Down with wishful thinking, down with generalities. Oh, and please David Hogg and others, yes to primarying people like Schumer. That's essential. Bring in the high energy and high expectations.
