ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

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.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

the popular political framing for how effective any given form of civic engagement is for the Left and the Right is so comically, insultingly lopsided.
and it seems to be codified by every institution imaginable. just endless consternation for the Left and ultimate reckless abandon for the Right.

Seeing those awful genAI Sk3tchers ads everywhere sucks, but it's been doing wonders for my imposter syndrome. Like, why am I cautious about sharing my work when a multi-billion dollar company is willing to push the cringiest slop?

No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time
