I was inundated yesterday with activists and journalists proclaiming that they now demand conditions-free release of all detained migrants and total border abolitionism. If that's your position, OK, but it's going to require more than emotionalistic slogans to defend it in public

M. Tracey dialectician-provocateur. I’m glad I don’t always agree with him and I’m glad he’s around.

Putting “concentration camps” in parentheses the way you did made it seem like you were downplaying this abhorrent practice. It was more than just musing about the ‘devil’s advocate’ angle. You might not have meant it like that but I think people read it that way.

I respect your opinion and appreciate your work. It has been a transformational couple of years on this issue, but that’s only because it was brought to people’s attention in the Trump era.

I've found the same issue in discussing M4A and Green New Deal. In the vast generalizations that we all deal with, I've expressed strong support for the underlying philosophy that guides activists on both. But when I ask for details or nuances in grey areas, then, I'm slammed.

@matthewstoller has discussed the problems of monopoly entities and how that affects pricing. I see from his critics that many, shrouded in naïveté, actually believe prices don't matter.

I'll engage you directly, but I'm not a journalist. The current caging kids project is a direct result of changed procedure. Keep families together, release until hearing. Fewer people in custody, fewer deaths. We don't have to change laws to empty the iceboxes.

I’m an open border libertarian but if this is the dems new position it’s a HUGE loser in this day an age. Would literally cost them the election.
