Biden has promised that his administration will reverse his predecessor’s draconian and inhumane immigration policies, but the reopening of the Carrizo tent city is a reminder that pressure will continue to need to be applied to ensure that immigrants are treated humanely and with dignity.

I don’t know when, or even if, Dems will learn this lesson. After everything, they still want to play by Queensberry Rules, when the opposition is using memetic warfare, shivs implanted into shoe heels and satellite-based missile strikes. 

I just find it disingenuous that we’re talking about Biden not being consistent on what exactly he’s been saying he’d do for almost a full year at this point.

also worth mentioning that Joe Biden specifically helped create this problem with his 2005 Bankruptcy Bill that made it nearly impossible to discharge student loan debt via bankruptcy.

Just going to say this... My career is in the realm of student financial assistance. It’s been 15 years. I learned from some of the best, people who have worked in such programs since before the Pell Grant existed. I know what the HEA says inside and out, and what it was meant to do. ALL STUDENT LOANS SHOULD BE…

Yeah, its like the same thing with Trump. People who got rich and famous spreading hate and still lived a long life with no actual accountability finally dying gives me no joy. Especially since there’s going to be quite a few “left wing” journalists lecturing us all on how inappropriate it is to speak ill of the…

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever really commented on that? But for what it’s worth, while I have plenty of criticisms of the Chinese state (including its handling of Wahhabist separatist movements in Xinjiang), it’s true that I don’t give a lot of credence to lines coming from US State Dept-affiliated organizations…

I don’t know, I think there’s a lot of space between David Hogg Should Be Homeless Because Capitalism and Hmm Is It A Little Goofy That David Hogg Is Using His Massive Following Derived From His Position As The De Facto Spokesman Of A Senseless Tragedy To Build A Profitable Pillow Company That Relies On Tired…

There are better things for Neera Tanden to apologize for.

He’s not a contrarian. He’s a right-wing libertarian and a misogynist. He pretends he used to be a “civil rights” lawyer, even though he was a BigLaw drone whose “civil rights” work appears to have been championing freeze peach for Nazis.

Yang sucks, and it’s not surprising in the least that his campaign was dismissive of competent women and including abrasive, belittling “leadership.” His entire campaign operation smacked of that variant of Dunning-Kruger common to the tech bro, i.e. the idea that if you’ve had a moderate amount of success developing…

A higher percentage of Republican voters voted for Trump in 2020 than in 2016. A higher number, too, but the percentage is the important part.

The neo-con Lincoln Project is essentially a scam for liberals who think there are Republicans to be swayed (despite all the money donated to the Lincoln Project, Republicans actually voted at a higher rate for Trump than in 2016).

That would be the just thing to do...so my hopes of it happening are slim.

Agreed. I know everyone seems to think this is on the table, but I don’t see it happening in my lifetime, if ever.

Which party is in power right now lol

Saying “wow wish this private prison thing applied to incarcerated undocumented people” and “minimum wage increase is good but $15 in 2025 is still pretty low” is pretty reasonable critique to me.

It’s actually possible that what Biden will do things that aren’t good enough. Biden deserves to be held accountable just like any other powerful person. We don’t have to treat him like he’s an intern just learning the ropes (“Joe, this is good work, but next time make sure you phase in the minimum wage increase a…

We’ve seen what happens when progressives go for home runs - they strike out AND lose in the next election.
