I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The UNIDIR Roundup and Outlook 2024 looks at recent and coming developments in disarmament & global security, outlining how we address key challenges, create spaces for inclusive dialogue, develop new solutions – and build a more secure world for all.

I'm pretty much giving up on the app formerly known as Twitter. It has really been degraded as a way to keep up with informed discourse, and I don't want to be an unpaid content provide for Musk. Will start posting wonkery here, maybe also on Threads

Understanding the gender pay gap is the very first step to address it.
