video of people being snatched by ICE at a laundromat shows an intersection between housing and immigration enforcement. if your unit and building don't have (working, available) laundry, that's one more errand where you have to spend significant time in potentially vulnerable public space

both?

J prob a little or lot of something much worse that we don’t have the inf…

Yup! Fun times! Hugs and solidarity.

And I’m going with both or if forced to choose one then incompetence given relative resustance of regime to popular pressure. Relative and variable. Not that you asked sorry.

Would I rather believe they meant to fire everyone and then panicked at public response, or they are that wildly grossly incompetent? Hm

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

Oh people also aren’t fond of human evolution (except as adjunct to racism) but love their cultural evolution esp when racist.

Lots of racists and then some ancient aliens & alternate histories the Japanese were doing centuries of precolumbian trade w/PNW peoples and people who don’t think nukes exist/act like nukes are magic.

I mean the overlap of creationists and bizarre alternate histories with creationists is not zero
