Besided the fact Obama pioneered the separating families & concentration camps policy, it is very telling that these folks do not see the act of deportation as violence or a death sentence, as if poor, persecuted, working people could be uprooted & discarded without anything bad happening to them.
Hillary Clinton: "More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term."

I feel that is still more wishful thinking than a reality, Bluesky is not even close to Science Twitter in the heydays of 2015-2021 & there’s still way more science action on evil Twitter than on benevolent Sky. But I’m willing to keep trying.

This, in general, is just so sad to me.
Trainees try so hard with QI projects, but it's their uncompensated work that makes the intervention work. Without it, everything falls back into baseline crappiness.

Every QI project someone comes up with that involves the EMR goes nowhere, because it's an act of congress to change anything in it and even if you do, it's not an efficient and useful way of doing things.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

"So our ability to access ... white food ... is being erased?"
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
