I do not think anyone anti-trump has any idea how popular his idiotic authoritarian actions are.
No one will admit to loving the deportations & police state, but if we had an election tomorrow he would win with a higher margin.
We vastly underestimate how terrible we truly are.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics recently released the first-ever national look at reproductive issues in state and federal prisons, offering statistics on pregnancy outcomes and care behind bars.
The report is missing what pregnant people themselves say about prison health care.

This has been the defining trait of my career over the last 20 years, working in tech. Everyone can see it now, because they’ve seen the corruption of the tech tycoons, but we had the first view of their venality, and watched as they ruined the lives of so many who raised the alarms about it.
It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

was recently told by a scholar of some note that it was out of bounds to compare trump's purge of black people from the federal government to wilson's efforts to resegregate the federal bureaucracy
1/2 Just-dismissed Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has a PhD from U Chicago, is in numerous scholarly societies, has wide acclaim. She is also first African-American to lead LoC.
The dismissal note did not say "Dear Dr. Hayden" or "Dear Madame Librarian" or even "Dear Carla."
