Bukele is Trump’s new "fixer" who receives shipments of mostly innocent people, who were wrongly arrested and deported. This legitimizes the transnational concentration camps to help a superpower unburden itself of unwanted bodies - see Ruth Ben-Ghiat's article:

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is
All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔

Yes, some Democrats have unpopular positions.
But Trump’s nominee for Treasury Secretary just said he SUPPORTED extending massive tax cuts for the wealthy and OPPOSED raising the minimum wage
Those are two VERY unpopular positions
