@hansilowang.bsky.social2. ICYMI: A Trump #2030Census proposal would stop asking about race and ethnicity, as well as exclude millions of U.S. residents from a count that the 14th Amendment says must include the "whole number of persons in each state"

@metrogram.bsky.socialWhat if #2030Census questionaire is still available to everyone, as Constitution A14 requires - BUT a citizenship Q? is added? This introduces discouragement (= bias) to enumeration process. Researchers at @shorensteinctr.bsky.social analyzed this in 2018! shorensteincenter.org/resource/est...
@hansilowang.bsky.social2. ICYMI: The Government Accountability Office previously concluded that adding this census work to the U.S. Postal Service's responsibilities — a key focus of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick for the #2030Census — would not be cost-effective or as easy as it may seem

@hansilowang.bsky.socialNEW: The Census Bureau's internal watchdog finds the bureau couldn't adequately supervise USPS letter carriers assigned to conduct "2026 Census Test" interviews in Spartanburg, S.C., putting at risk the ability to objectively evaluate the feasibility of letter carriers conducting the #2030Census
@hansilowang.bsky.social3. ICYMI: The Trump administration shrunk the number of locations for this year's field test of the #2030Census and added plans to test replacing temporary census workers with U.S. Postal Service staff

@crystal159.bsky.socialR-GA07 #AndrewClyde led more than 40 House Republicans in introducing the "Make Apportionment Great Again" legislation to require a reapportionment prior to the 2028 election & to add a US citizenship question to the #2030census. #SAVE
(Non-citizens are NOT allowed to vote in federal elections) 😵💫
@mayarockeymoore.bsky.socialTrump's new #census rule removes race and ethnicity from the count and drops millions of legal residents from it. You can't challenge what you don't measure. That's the plan. I'm calling it The Blindfold.

@nativerights.bsky.socialThe recent proposed changes to the #2030Census could have far-reaching consequences for Native communities.
Removing questions about race and ethnicity could make it harder to understand where Native people live, identify inequities, enforce civil rights protections, and plan essential services.
@metrogram.bsky.socialThinking about this today bc several emails received today compelled me to look up the WhiteHouse's proposals for #2030Census. It’s a real dumpster fire.
I’m not sure what’s the worst part. (2/4)

@hansilowang.bsky.social6. The administration's #2030Census proposal comes months before it is supposed to send a report by April 1, 2027, on the proposed question topics for the 2030 census to Congress, which, again, has final authority over the count under the Constitution
@datageekb.bsky.socialTold y'all yesterday that with meeting requests to discuss the proposal mysteriously canceled, we'd see the proposed #2030Census changes soon. Turns out it was less than 24 hours.
