Excellent analysis, really appreciate your viewpoints and heartbroken about all that is happening in your home town and everywhere else. United we stand!
It is good to see Americans generally prefer immigration so long it is orderly and legal. However, tyrants like Stephen Miller care very little about public opinion. JD Vance touts citizenship from “heritage” and politically, his wing is way stronger within the apparatchik. While Republicans may again hold a positive view on immigration, they will hold their nose to vote for a MAGA candidate at the end.
Hey Mike, Do you have any sense of how the Cuban-American and Venezuelan-American base are reacting/polling in regard to the decision to end parole for Cubans and Venezuelans?
I very much appreciate you acknowledging the importance of humanity here. Having the opportunity to be our very best selves on a human level is the whole point of this country.
Please never, ever apologize for being passionate on this issue. Our very humanity has been compromised by MAGA's shamefulness. Democrats better get their shit together on this because it is unconscionable!
We are seeing these ICE raids out here on Long Island, mostly in NY01 (where I live and where John Avalon was running last year) & in NY02. Volunteer Fire departments are giving safe harbor to ICE and the Latino community does not feel they can trust those fire departments to help them if needed. They are scared. There is a man who drives around in NY 01 & NY02 and reports on FB where he sees ICE so the ppl are informed.
Thank you for your excellent analysis. These raids are also in my home turf. I understand feeling the broken heartedness. I protest and give money to legitimate local agencies assisting the families. I wish I could do more.
Factual, passionate, hopeful & reliable. Thank you, Mike
Except for the broad negative generalization about a demographic.
Living as I do in a community where elders are well represented I have to say they are educated, well-informed, drawing on their 60's protests *&* leading the fight *against* 47 & his ilk.
No group Is monolithic and I’m not gonna play that game. The truth is FoxNews demographics skew decidedly older and older voters have been a strong base of Trumps support. I’m not going to debate this with you. It’s obvious on its face and I’m not legitimizing this with any more air time.
True. A lot of us Boomers have simply been activated. We are showing up at protsts. I think it's important to remember that back in the '60's, not all Boomers were fighting for civil/women's/gay rights. Not all were protesting against the war in Vietnam. In fact, many Boomers were actively fighting against those things.
Carry it on! Yours is an essential voice.
This is really good stuff, Mike. Thank you!
Thank you Cheri 🙏🏼

Please don't apologize for the passion. That is the appropriate response to all of this. In all honesty, it's a relief to see.
This is great news! Thanks Mike you are amazing 🤩

This was one of the most informative presentations you've given. Thx.
And loved your comment about not winning any points by breaking moral laws.

Great question! I was going to write an article on just this. For the first time it feels like all of the Latino diasporas are experiencing the same sense of attack. I don’t have any hard data on that yet but I was in Miami two weeks ago and wrote this article. Let me know if you see any polling out there! https://open.substack.com/pub/greattransformation/p/ice-raids-could-cost-the-fifa-world?r=305o&utm_medium=ios
Thank you. Good, needed poll change - finally. I agree with you 100%. May Americans finally get their heads out of their b*tts. Excellent post!

These districts are represented by 2 Trump flunkies: Nick Lalota and Andrew Garbarino. Smdh.

This is horrible.

Both can be true. In fact it is true.
Yes, and in fairness it behooves us to mention that either/or balance no matter the demographic .

You make a great point, Peggy.
We are not well served by "all" and "never."
So, choosing our words carefully will help us be better understood.
And that's what the world needs now ....
Please do not insult animals they are better than us
