I learned a ton here from @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social — both about the ins and outs of Trump’s immigration policies, and about the bigger picture meaning of the overall point of his immigration policy, rhetoric, and disregard for both the facts and the law.

The architect of Project 2025 is now head of the CFPB and they are dismantling it. Hello oligarchy. Or is it plutocracy?

President-elect Trump’s picks to oversee public health have all pushed back against Covid policies or supported ideas that are outside the medical mainstream. Some doctors and scientists are bracing themselves for the gutting of public health agencies and a loss of scientific expertise.

A move from chapter 1 of Dictatorship for Dummies. Half my asylum clients come from countries where alleged democracies went after the nonprofits when the “democratically” elected Pres was shoring up power. This is scary, folks.
