Amazing Paul - thanks for your work and generosity! I wonder if you’re familiar w this effort from Urban Institute - which (I imagine) was artisanal and ppl intensive. I think all open api if it might be interesting to compare? educationdata.urban.org/data-explorer
From the report: "The figure above shows a set of day-specific estimated effects of the agent surge on employees working measured in percentage points. Each blue dot represents how many percentage points away the number of employees clocking in was from its expected value. Expectations are measured based on trends in other metro areas with similar trends in the years leading up to this period. The grey area describes a margin of error."
The DHS agent surge in Minnesota reduced employees working in the MSP metro by 2.8%, total hours worked by 1.9%, and open business locations by 1.7% through mid-February. Estimated impact: $106 million in lost wages.

In 1942, over 125,000 people of Japanese ancestry were unjustly incarcerated in America's concentration camps and deprived of their civil rights and due process. Sadly, there is an absolute parallel between what happened then and what’s happening today to immigrant communities throughout the nation.

Roughly 2 USAIDs
Last week, Education Minnesota, the Minnesota teachers union, filed a FEDERAL LAWSUIT against Kristy Noem, DHS, and ICE to stop the government from terrorizing students. Did you hear about? Probably not. We need to uplift their bravery. Watch here: open.substack.com/pub/wkamaube...
In today’s @nytimes.com, @wtgrantfdn.bsky.social Scholar Sophia Rodriguez draws on her research to call out the harm done to children by ICE and CPB aggressive actions.
That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.
🤡
It should be faster to stop killing people than to stop feeding them.
Good to see the FT editorial draw attention to this less well known casualty of the US regime - official statistics

This was from October and boy does it feel like the stakes have increased since then. Looking forward to this.
For example: if 84% of people already agree that scientific research aimed at advancing knowledge is usually a worthwhile investment over time...
Why are you so sure that the real problem is that people "just don't know enough about why research matters"

“I know they would do anything, that they would hurt people, that they’ve murdered people... I know that intellectually. But I still did not expect them to gas a chill, friendly protest full of nurses and teachers and children and the elderly.”

Dreams really do come true!
Legal asylum seeker, no criminal record, working two jobs, dragged out of smashed car and kidnapped by ICE as his US citizen newborn cries in a car seat in the freezing cold in Maine and his wife who barely speaks English pleads for help. WTAF

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
Jay Inslee @JayInslee X.com In the midst of ICE horror, the Senate needs to prohibit Trump from using ICE as a voter suppression tool. Senate Dems need to put into the approps bill a prohibition on ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must have. Last chance to do this.
This needs to happen at the very least
This kind of intellectual firepower is usually only found at unaccredited colleges in Austin
