This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

This is why calling them weird creeps was so effective, not just to damage the leadership psychologically, but to make it extremely socially embarrassing to be a known supporter of them in the general public. The point is to make society at large view them as they are, not the force they wish to be.
New polling data shows that it's getting increasingly embarrassing to identify as a Republican, and some Trump voters are slinking away and pretending it never happened.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

This article, while thorough, ignores the cultural element: Meat is seen as MANLY and vegetarianism as effeminate, and all of the rhetoric (outside from industry actors) is downstream from that.

ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

What we're seeing in real time is the deployment of a Secret Police tasked with terrorizing those who live in communities insufficiently subservient to the regime. It's a form of spectacle violence designed undermine the rule of law & any semblance of accountability.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

With personal help from some South Tucson city council members, a local community organization purchased two motels in 2023 and converted them to affordable housing aimed at combating rising property taxes and rent costs.
