So, now we're shutting down legal pathways for highly educated non-citizens to work here. Is it an attack on immigrants? Is it an attack on higher education? whynotboth.gif

Isn't this the organization where the new Trump-appointed head just gave their building away to the administration because Trump liked it?
QuoteAmb. Moose therefore remains president of USIP and may be removed only by a duly constituted Board of Directors, under 22 U.S.C. § 4606 ….
[A]ll actions taken or authorized by Kenneth Jackson or Nate Cavanaugh as acting presidents of USIP were invalid and therefore null, void, and without legal effect ….
[G]iven the illegitimate appointment of Nate Cavanaugh to the position as USIP president, the actions and documents by which he purportedly transferred USIP's headquarters, located at 2301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20037, to the General Services Administration were invalid and therefore null, void, and without legal effect ….
[T]the transfer of USIP's other financial or physical assets to the General Services Administration was likewise invalid, null void, and without legal effect ….
[T]he resolution adopted by two ex officio Directors of USIP's Board purportedly appointing Adam Amar as president of the Endowment of the USIP Fund and authorizing and instructing him to transfer any and all of the Endowment's assets to USIP was invalid, null, void, and without any legal effect ….

Well, the Court may do away with nationwide injunctions to allow Trump’s patently unconstitutional directives and actions to go into effect - in this case an undoing of birthright citizenship. If a dem ever controls the White House, I bet they reverse course super quickly
One of the last weapons we had against unconstitutional acts is likely going to be taken away. It’s fitting that Roberts will kill our constitutional order

So I guess the wet noodle Democrats are fine with massive bribery and will just let that slide too with Trump without hardly a peep. I’m so sick of this party.
Not sure if this is what you're referring to, but at least Schumer is raising a bit of a stink about the Qatari plane.
QuoteWASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday that he will hold up all Justice Department nominations on the Senate floor until he gets more answers about the free Air Force One replacement that President Donald Trump says would be donated by Qatar.
Trump said this week that he wants to accept the $400 million plane, and that it would later be donated to a presidential library. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Monday that the details of the donation are still being worked out.
The plan, Schumer said, “is not just naked corruption, it is also a grave national security threat.”

My employer is about 84% non-union and we negotiate hard as a mofo with unionized sites. The goal is for them to get paid exactly like the "non- organized" locations, but then the unions take their dues.
Unions are generally a pain in the ass and more cumbersome/ less agile to deal with.
What would your national policy to "encourage organizing" look like? Have the companies pay the union dues? If so, fuck that shit.There are things the government could do to incentivize corporate models that are pro-worker but not necessarily unionized. For example...
- Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) - Government could encourage more of these structures where every employee has skin in the game, or help establish new models
- B-Corp Certification - This is an independent certification that evaluates (among other things) governance models, transparency and fairness to employees; Government could encourage these through tax incentives (I don't think there are any today) or other means.
- Policies around corporate benefits - A major argument against employee benefit plans (especially healthcare) is that employees are held captive so there is less mobility of the workforce and less incentive to take risk with new initiatives. You could take this to the extreme and remove employers from the equation with universal healthcare, but that's not the only option. The ACA helps mitigate this.
- Personally, I think income inequality between executives and front-line employees is problematic. I would be curious about government incentives to tie executive compensation to employee comp.
Also, these ideas and the general push for more pro-worker policies aren't limited to the liberal/Democratic perspective. Oren Cass is one right-wing voice who is advocating for Republicans to adopt more policies that consider all workers and stakeholders other than just shareholders.

like how widespread it is and how many people it is actually having an impact on.
It's an issue that seriously erodes the lawfulness of this country, and that does have broad impacts, but it's not completely fucking out of control sending people by the 10s of thousands a day etc. We are sub 10k total still for the whole fucking year, they are actually doing a completely shit job at deportations, less than Biden in 2024 pacing.
I cannot overstate how fucked up it is that even a single person is being deported without due process and being sent to other countries illegally, but lets not sit here and claim its 100k+ people so far.
Here's CBP interactions by month for the last year.
Dude, you're completely wrong here. If the government is allowed to ignore the rights of one person, they've succeeded in stripping rights away from 365 million American citizens. That's the number that should matter and it's not hyperbole.
