@Greengordon I think there's a world of difference between autocrats — and that's what the Soviet leaders were — appealing to these themes and someone who comes out of, say, the history of African Americans who were enslaved and have experienced historic oppression, using these themes. The meaning is entirely different.

@wdlindsy And it's not just that they're lying, it's the results of their lies. Just one example, but if you believe immigrants are the cause of all crime and drug overdoses then not only will deporting all of those immigrants crater our economy, it won't put a dent in crime or drug use. The real causes won't be addressed.

"A simple matter of knowing right from wrong," says #Luttig. It's not a a matter of right and left.
Why did this conservative US judge endorse Kamala Harris? | Margaret Sullivan
What matters to Michael Luttig is getting past January 2025 with democracy intact. We can argue later about how to govern

@cj Excellent. You're right. Just last week, we stopped on our morning walk to talk to neighbors from two adjoining townhouses who were doing garden work. As we talked about these matters, they said, "If he deports all those people, who will clean our houses?" And we said, "Who would have done the insulation work we just had done under our house?" Then I had lunch with a cousin who told me, as she settles her husband's estate, she's using the money to assist immigrants in her town.
