Worth reading. Another undoing of actual progress.
Great reporting by @alecmac.bsky.social and another example of how policy implementation diverges from policy intent. Obviously the answer here is more legal pathways (and higher/no caps) for people to permanent residency and citizenship.
What I actually did was allow credentialed press from mainstream outlets sit in my car on the condition that they identify no one but myself, something dozens of observers have done, but it’s fascinating how paranoiac mania over that imagined offense has evolved into vast crimes in 24 hours
this is so dystopian
Used to work for a company that did this—they kept ALL their positions open on their website to “fill the bench” just in case someone left, and regularly interviewed for roles they weren’t actually hiring for. When I questioned the tactic, I was told I wasn’t being a “team player.” 🙃
I don’t think this is a particularly hot take. As we keep telling a particular federal agency, wearing a mask generally indicates cognizance of guilt and an intent to do something illegal. Protest works best when done confidently and unashamedly
After the Biden administration clamped down on the flow of illegal guns, Trump has referred fewer ATF trafficking charges for prosecution, eased up on irresponsible gun shops and shifted hundreds of ATF agents to immigration work. @alecmac.bsky.social
One factor in the recent homicide decline was the Biden admin's clampdown on gun trafficking. Now, the Trump admin is pulling back on several fronts, raising odds that the flow of illegal guns will rise, with ill effects down the line.

Great @alecmac.bsky.social story on the weird pretend job listings (and classified ads) that keep the H1B visa system running www.propublica.org/article/trum...
An informative read.
Some remarkably candid quotes, a bit of history, a broken system, congressional negligence, and lobbyists.

Every Sunday, the print classifieds in metro newspapers are full of listings for tech jobs that aren't actually open. It's a window into a deeply flawed corner of US immigration law that hurts both US and foreign workers, yet has endured for decades. I decided to explore further:

An entire generation of people raised on social media simply do not have an understanding of how the media, protests, and surveillance work.
My hottest take is that masks at protests are cowardly and have done absolutely nothing but make all protests themselves look unserious to neutral parties.

Anyone who is cagey about who they are or what they’re doing, do not trust. Real journalists exist in a kind of social compact where they tell us their role and their rules, they respect our rules, and in exchange for that they get access. Almost all of them are extremely scrupulous about this
