NEW FROM ME: There's a huge mess over letters telling people to "leave the United States" bc they're losing parole. Mistakes, panic, bad legal advice, "how did they get my email?" Totally coincidentally, DOGE's first job on immigration? Parole revocation. immigrationimpact.com/2025/04/17/t...

This is not, like, the primary impact, but it's worth noting that the vast majority of other public polling you see out there is relying on Census demographic data to weight their surveys to be representative of the American public (or electorate).

A US citizen is detained in FL because he is Latino & had the audacity to travel from GA to FL. Judge found no probable cause for his arrest/detainment and wants him released, but ICE has a hold and so he stays in custody for now.

every fucking coward who voted for rfk's confirmation should be publicly shamed every time they show their worthless faces. I don't think this level of fury is really productive in any way but I'm acknowledging it

We are witnessing the dismantling of NOAA--the United States' best defense against extreme weather, the climate crisis, and, simply, the prediction of day-to-day weather--in real time. This will damage the scientific infrastructure in the US for decades. blog.ucs.org/marc-alessi/...

Yep. A huge chunk of the institutional right is 501(c)(3)s and 501(c)(4)s that have no organic support whatsoever. Just billionaire-funded make-work jobs for ideologues.

If the next US governing regime merely wants to restore pre-2024 state capacity, it's going to take what will feel like a New Deal-style expansion from the baseline

"Those that already caved to the administration...look more foolish by the day. Those who cover his agenda...as if it is popular do a disservice to their readers. And those who encourage his opponents to hold off protesting, until Trump sinks himself, ignore that that day has already come."

States are suing the Trump Administration over the disruption to Social Security/SSI/SSDI benefits because of drastic DOGE cuts. THEY NEED YOUR HELP! Many states are looking for input from folks who've experienced problems. Link below is for my state (Michigan!). But if you have a story, reach out!

As I told the kiddos: first step is "is this emotion useful?" And panic never is. Fear is, sometimes, if it doesn't paralyze you.

it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.
