“When voters learn about Kennedy’s efforts to tear down these vital services for millions of American seniors and disabled people, they immediately shift their opinions against him by 26 points on net.” Read the full piece from Matthew Cortland here: www.dataforprogress.org/insights/202...

NEW DFP Insights from @matthewcort.land: “While attacking Kennedy on his anti-vaccine policies is still convincing to voters, there is an overwhelming advantage to attacking him on his administration’s cuts to Medicaid and home care services.”

Why does disability policy matter? Medicaid is the program that pays for the home care services that allow disabled people — kids, adults, seniors — to live in their own homes, with their families, instead of being locked up in institutions. RFK Jr's attacks on home care are incredibly unpopular

and he cites @brettchristophers.bsky.social's The Price Is Wrong!!!

You should read this piece. Adam is right: the core theory behind the anti-ICE mobilization here in Minneapolis isn’t really a political ideology, but that neighbors are neighbors and must be protected.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

✊✊✊

abolish ice!!!!!!!!!

ICE is writing secret memos claiming power to invade homes without warrants. They're using children as bait. They're killing. Congressional Democrats are about to vote to increase their budget by $18 billion. Call your House rep tonight. The vote may come tomorrow. www.patreon.com/posts/148814...

holy sh*t part one million

NEW: After one year of Trump's second term, voters are still pessimistic about inflation and the state of the economy. www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2025/1/...

good morning, it's a great day to work at @dataforprogress.org -- where we stand firm in our progressive values and use public opinion to lead and persuade, rather than bowing to popularism at the expense of morality.

I have a lengthy video of a long chase yesterday, including one maniacal e-bike rider who was absolutely giving the ICE Wagoneers hell. They’d try to lose us in traffic but the bike didn’t care about traffic

Someone just called in ICE knocking doors in Uptown and within 5 minutes maybe 100 people had arrived. Probably a false alarm but extremely hard to see how ICE operates with this kind of suffocating neighborhood response. Incredible work Minneapolis. ICE, just give up and get out already.

The Star Tribune had an insane graphic about the presence of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. There are more immigration officers in the metro right now than local police officers.

Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll: 46% support abolishing ICE 43% oppose abolishing ICE This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support

JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents. @zeteo.com

I really want to see CDR tech mature. But the ways we make CDR bankable (carbon credits, VCMs, etc) are almost universally scams. IMO better to simply just pay for CDR out of the public balance sheet, as a kind of insurance against an uncertain FF phaseout timeline.

"Rationalist-optimists lack humility in the face of a planetary system." Really loved this piece from @cathfraser.bsky.social & @noahjgordon.bsky.social taking aim at naive techno-optimist faith in negative-emissions technologies and laying bare our inevitable stranded asset problems. Must-read.
