> “There’s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. I’ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to family—more than family—checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if there’s ICE or any kind of danger,” Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me.

The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

Remember when the same writer who coined #TheCrueltyIsThePoint wrote about "the coming violence" after writing about the Second Redemption in The Atlantic, the week after the November 2016 election.

Yeah, #AdamSerwer wasn't wrong.

People think "give poor people money" is an absurd solution to poverty but for some reason think "give rich people money" works better, despite the notion being absurd and decades of evidence to the contrary.

“Kimmel’s refusal to capitulate stands out because so many other well-situated people—those with the resources, platform, and #power to stand up to the president, including, initially, the leaders of ABC—have surrendered, withdrawn, or become Trump sycophants themselves.”

Unfortunately, behind a paywall, but even the free introduction is very worthwhile for anyone interested in America's education and debates.

A Q&A with Adam Serwer, a renowned writer for The Atlantic.

“The Trump administration has launched an attack on knowledge itself,”

“They want everyone to believe what they believe. When Trump changes his mind about something, then you need to believe that, too."

Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age"

"They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control."
