Trump's work to normalize violence among his supporters is working, even when the target is a fellow Republican. Look at what they are doing to *a lifelong Republican and two-time Trump voter* who merely said that Haitian workers at his business do a good job: www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/u...

I gotta hand it to Jeff Flake- not only was he a member of the Gang of 8, he didn't buy into Trump's xenophobia after 2016. Two months before he announced he'd leave the Senate, he published this op-ed www.nytimes.com/2017/08/18/o...

The Rev. Al Sharpton today: “The governor should not be pressured into removing Eric Adams from being the mayor." "We're going to see where the evidence is. ... Do not change the process and the precedent. Let due process take its course.”

Rev. Al Sharpton urges Gov. Hochul not to remove Mayor Adams from office ahead of trial

The national civil rights figure told his congregation Saturday that the mayor should be afforded due process.

I think of it kinda like Trump's "mass deportation" promise: not so much about numbers as it is about being arbitrary & indiscriminate. Like how we have imprisoned people who are not a threat to public safety and are, at best, tangentially connected to crimes ppl think of as incarceration-worthy

Without roads and power we don't know what the needs are going to be but they are going to be immense, absolutely immense, please if you have any tendency toward mutual aid rescue or disaster relief and you aren't already get you and yours in an action footing
