politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s DHS pick, Markwayne Mullin, never served in military but talks as if he didEnglish
16·1 month agohe should have changed his political stance, realizing who the real enemy was.
But that’s why we’re mocking him. He was terrified about the goon squad when he was on the receiving end, and now he was to employ them.

politics @lemmy.world•Every Single Participant in NYT Focus Group Preferred Progressive Candidates Over Moderate Ones | Common DreamsEnglish
6·2 months agoDitto. That was my first question as well. Who was recruited?
Then I realized, that question is irrelevant, because little qualitative studies like this are not supposed to answer broad questions like this.
I imagine there is no malicious intent here. The author likely doesn’t have a background in research and doesn’t understand what information you can reliably pull from a focus group.

politics @lemmy.world•Every Single Participant in NYT Focus Group Preferred Progressive Candidates Over Moderate Ones | Common DreamsEnglish
422·2 months agoThis is not how you read a focus group.
This is a small 13 person group. These groups are waaaay too small to see how the general public feels about policies.
You’re supposed to use focus groups to get insight into WHY people might feel a certain way about a policy. Then you survey a broad audience to see if the sentiment exists at scale.
I’m all for more progressive policies, but I also do a lot of research professionally, and this article annoyed me. These are the wrong conclusions to draw from a little focus group.

politics @lemmy.world•Homeland Security Department poised to shut down as Congress leaves with no dealEnglish
3·2 months agoIt’s some old 9/11 BS.
FEMA responds any disaster, including one caused by terrorism. They got rolled into DHS so one chain of command could coordinate responses to terrorism.
Problem is, 99.9% of their day job responding to non-terrorism disasters.
It’s an org structure designed around an edge case, not the more common needs.

I don’t know why the department in change of natural disaster aid is in the same org as TSA and ICE. That’s so damn silly.

politics @lemmy.world•Democrats Propose Minor Reforms for ICE — and Record FundingEnglish
92·2 months agoHonestly I’m on the fence about yanking the DHS funding. Trump is just going to fund ICE through other piles of money that he got in the BBB and that he’ll just start cutting other more critical services. Like FEMA, which is under the DHS.
If the Dems can effectively communicate that Trump is using FEMA, TSA, and coastguard money for ICE, then they should cut funding. But I’m not particularly confident about the Dems ability to communicate this. Hell, a lot of people don’t even realize that Trump can still fund ICE if Dems holdback DHS funding. They have not effectively communicated this.
