In only a Few months, Donald Trump’s second presidential term drastically remodeled the US Federal Government and moved to consolidate the power of the executive branch. At the president’s order, many federal agencies undertook aggressive, invasive initiatives to stop immigration, police speech, investigate political opponents, limit US public health efforts and crisis preparations, and more.
With so much happening at the same time, many organizations and individuals have launched databases, interactive maps and other trackers to catalog these government actions and their effects on the civil rights of people throughout the United States. Using open source intelligence, public data, news coverage and other research, these tools are essential means to document, contextualize and analyze the flood of federal activity that fundamentally reformulates the United States. Here are some outstanding examples.
The effective map
With the project impact, Americans for public service
This Interactive map Traces change to US federal government funding, workforce and policy across the country, documenting matters such as mass workers, hiring frosts, financial courts and rent terms. The tool also shows places where funding was later uncreated, federal workers were honored or perhaps, or the federal government added a new service or advantage.
The map includes notes to specifically document effects in rural US prefectures, areas where the population are most non-white, places where 20 percent or more of the population resides below the poverty border, and native land. It also catalogs responses to these initiatives, including legal actions as well as local and state responses to financial cuts.
