They got chickens roaming around here like they own the place. That’s the problem with the United States. The chickens should be at least as ubiquitous as the squirrels. They should be in charge.

Are you going to Barbados because their two political parties are both center-left social democrats?
I did not decide to go to the Barbados because of my appreciation for Prime Minister Mia Mottley… but it helped

Documenting the Damage: 100 Harmful Policies from the First 100 Days of Trump's Second Term
The second Trump administration has had the busiest first 100 days of any US presidency in nearly a century. Since January, I've been keeping a spreadsheet documenting 900+ policy changes and political developments. I then bundled many of the most important changes into 100 topics areas and wrote a summary of each of them, providing a semi-comprehensive account of the tremendous changes to US politics which have occurred.
PDF version of the full report
Website version of the full report
Medium versions:
Introduction + Part I: Democracy and Government
Part II: Civil Rights and Liberties
Part III: Economy and Public Services 
Part IV: Environment and Energy
Part V + Conclusion: Foreign Policy

Sent your Medium piece to my boomer parents and they're really thankful you put it together all in one place. Good job.
Thank you! I often find myself writing a lot of my persuasion pieces with the idea in mind that someone reading it is a random boomer who isn’t very online, because that’s a much more valuable audience to reach than young people who already agree with me about most things. Sometimes I’m not writing to you, the reader of this post; I’m writing to your uncle
