- Reposted by Stan VeugerINBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.
- Reposted by Stan VeugerWhat real heroism looks like is you drive past a school and it’s 7am and it’s -3 out and there are four dads posted at every door scanning every passing car to be sure it’s not someone coming to take the children. And you drive by at noon and they’re there. And you drive by at 3pm and they’re there
- Reposted by Stan VeugerIf random masked men are setting fires in your community, I think you should feel free to film them. Especially if dozens of other people and several national news crews are filming them. They are not "allies," they're arsonists. Grow up.

- Reposted by Stan VeugerThe fact that the cases are meritless actually makes them MORE effective for intimidation. Prosecuting actual criminals sends no broader message. They’re saying: “Piss us off and we’ll find some bullshit reason to tie you up in court whether or not we have any chance of making it stick.”
- Reposted by Stan VeugerLiterally half the country wants to abolish ICE and the Democrats are going to make them pinky swear not to deport U.S. citizens anymore
- Reposted by Stan VeugerAgree! 7/25-7/26 projection of 321k should roughly reflect estimated current pace. Top of 2026 range from @taraelizwatson.bsky.social, @stanveuger.bsky.social & me: 200k. 7/24-7/25 hard to interpret given huge policy change. We're likely well below Census for '25H1. www.brookings.edu/articles/mac...
- Reposted by Stan VeugerAfter executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
- Reposted by Stan VeugerHappy that their support is caving in. But also, what a stark illustration of moral cowardice. Two residents of your state blown away by armed thugs, and whether or not you excused it depended on how the polls looked. She should resign and seek forgiveness from whatever god she prays to.

- Reposted by Stan VeugerVenezuelan family seeking asylum -- entered legally, both parents with college degrees -- took their 7-year-old to the ER for a nosebleed and fever. ICE, which is now targeting hospitals as well as churches schools, blocked the child from getting care and detained them instead
- The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...
- Reposted by Stan VeugerAnother day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands. An administration of total inhumanity.

- Reposted by Stan VeugerMy husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left. See? We just need to talk to each other.

- Reposted by Stan VeugerHaving seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

- I have a new report out with @wendyedelberg.bsky.social and @taraelizwatson.bsky.social on the macro implications of US immigration flows. Net migration was down dramatically in 2025 and will remain low/negative in 2026, leading to much lower monthly employment growth and slower GDP growth.
