Re: lying on the census about sensitive info. I worked as a census man on the street in 2020, and people definitely do lie, but we also tell them that they don’t have to fill in anything that they’re uncomfortable sharing. The only quasi mandatory data is if the home or dwelling is occupied, because the census official is allowed to ascertain that without asking the residents directly. They aren’t required to tell us anything if they don’t want to.

Thank you for the information.

#2020 census

Democratic Rep. Sean Casten won a member-vs.-member Democratic primary in Illinois against the more progressive Rep. Marie Newman on Tuesday night, in part due to an ongoing ethics investigation into Newman.

Newman had become one of the more outspoken progressives in Congress, standing out for her liberal positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for frequently voting with the progressive “Squad.” She won her seat in 2020, ousting moderate Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski in what was seen as a major victory for the progressive movement.

Illinois lost a congressional seat following the 2020 census, and new lines forced Newman into the same district as Casten, who was first elected in 2020. But compared to Lipinski’s frequent breaks with the Democratic Party line, Casten is a mainstream liberal.

Newman had a theoretical advantage in the race, since more of her old district than Casten’s was included in the new one. But her ethics problems dogged her: The Office of Congressional Ethics began investigating her after she admitted to promising a job to a potential primary opponent in 2020 and agreeing to take certain positions on Israeli-Palestinian issues.

Democratic Majority for Israel, which has campaigned against several progressive House candidates this midterm election cycle, aired ads attacking Newman.

“The Office of Congressional Ethics was unanimous: There’s substantial reason to believe Marie Newman may have violated federal law by promising a taxpayer-funded job to an opponent if he agreed not to run against her,” a narrator in the ad said.

The seat, which includes substantial chunks of the Chicago suburbs, leans toward Democrats.

Groups urge Census to reclassify Hmong people as ‘Southeast Asian’ not ‘East Asian’ – AsAmNews

by Akemi Tamanaha, AsAmNews Associate Editor Civil rights organizations and advocacy groups say a mistake in subregion classifications made by the U.S. Census Bureau could prove costly for Hmong Americans.  Last year, the Census Bureau released new data sets from the 2020 Census as part of the Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A (Detailed DHC-A). Hmong and Southeast…

In 2000, Tremé was 93 percent Black in a city where two-thirds of the population was. Today, the city’s Black population has dipped to about 54 percent, according to the 2020 Census. In Tremé, a neighborhood built on higher ground than many others, Black residents now make up around 58 percent of inhabitants.

White people have flocked back to city centers — and transformed them.

tl;dr the last 24 hours:

roommate & i have decided we will, in fact, be getting the fuck out of utah.

but where the fuck out that will be, we have almost no clue.

& so the quest begins.

#(roommate is just like. existentially exhausted by Being Here. & i totally get it. that's a reasonable response.) #(& the funny thing is i'd also been feeling like i Wanted to Be Not Here but i hadn't figured out how to tell roommate about this) #(but then literally the next day he's like yeah so i feel like i maybe want to be Not Here? so like. i think we will be Doing That.) #so i pitched the idea of meeting up later this week to order some takeout dinner & make a Big Ol' List of must-haves & would-like-to-haves #& then start Doing Research & looking into whereabouts fits a sufficient amount of the bill & therefore might warrant an in person vibechec #so yeah lol hi friends do any of you like & recommend the united state you are currently living in #is it culturally & legislatively progressive enough that disabled people like roommate feel like they are generally Given a Shit About #at least more so than here lol #prior to 2020 census redistricting our federal congressperson was a man who wrote a book abt how The Liberals are 'whiners weenies & wimps' #an Extremely Normal Mormon Republican Man #such jesus very compassion

me: in the PLL pilot, Spencer mentions interning for the mayor, but a mayor is never mentioned for the rest of the show. Rosewood is loosely inspired by Main Line towns in Pennsylvania, many of which are unincorporated communities and thus don't have local governments. given the proximity of Rosewood to Philly, it's likely that Spencer was interning in the Philadelphia Mayor's office (Through the connections of her parents, since she would've only been a rising high school junior??)

also me:

#jaggedwolf rambles #pll #i can see how my interests have changed in the last ten years because the other day i tried to figure out the 2010 census tract for the #rosemont area because it's only a 2020 census-designated area #and i wanted to know what demographic shifts would've happened across the decade #mine #spencer hastings

sooo funny the like. phenomenon of someone describing a nearly universal human experience/american experience (where i see this the most for some reason) and then going "haha just minnesota things!!" "just midwest things ;)". beautiful we are all saying "oh yeah no. no yeah haha yeah no" it is not unique to your seattle suburb <3 ohhhh it's raining but then it's suddenly sunny? it was warm yesterday but now it's chilly?? we residents of stanley idaho pop 116 as of the 2020 census are used to that wacky weather unlike other people who would surely fall to their knees and rend their garments upon encountering it

#got cuntier than expected but like come onnnnn. trap of uniqueness or whatever #if you are from stanley idaho pop 116 as of the 2020 census sorry i googled small towns in idaho. weird that you have more housing units #than people what's up with that #are they just kind of hanging out? get back to me
