I usually am in agreement with the Pod Save America pod bros. In fact, in the past, if you wanted to know my general political views, you could just listen to PSA to get a sense of what I believe.
But today, I was listening to PSA and…oh boy. Dan Pfeiffer went into a long, extended rant about how we should not use the “Abolish ICE” slogan going into the 2026 and 2028 midterms.
This reminds me of the comment in William Safire’s book “Freedom” about the events leading up to the Emancipation Proclamation where someone turns to another person at a party, “We are all Abolitionists now.”
In fact, I would keep an eye on the political rhetoric of the PSA pod bros. When they grow radicalized enough that they embrace the radicalized nature of “Abolish ICE” rather than be so fucking milquetoast. We need to have a backbone politically.
And, yet, things are going to have to get a lot, lot worse before PSA will get with the program and embrace rather than poo-poo the idea of “Abolish ICE.”
