  1. Mass deportations could slash U.S. GDP by up to 6.8%—a $1.7 trillion hit. Rural counties that backed Trump would be hit hardest, losing critical immigrant labor in farming, construction & manufacturing. Labor gaps = higher costs, fewer jobs, and deeper economic decline.

    Add tariffs to the mix—already raising costs & sparking retaliation—and these policies risk gutting rural economies. The same communities that voted for Trump are the ones most at risk.

  2. @ElizKane Likewise! I am just dedicating 15-30 minutes a day to learning this new platform so slow going. I want to connect with #AgLaw #AgPolicy #AgEcon #FoodSystems #FoodBusiness #NutritionAccess types but would be psyched to never think about the paid-pr-flack-horror that became #agtwitter ever again. So far it feels hard to find niche people without joining a niche group and I want all sorts of other content as well - the stuff I don't know I don't know because I don't even know it exists.
