Deep dives

The Impact of Trump's Immigration Policies

Donald Trump's recent immigration policies exert significant pressure on undocumented immigrants by threatening to shut down their access to financial resources. This coercive tactic aims to force many immigrants to self-deport, even as they play a crucial role in the U.S. economy, especially in sectors like agriculture and construction. With approximately 14 million undocumented workers in the country, Trump's administration recognizes that these individuals are essential for maintaining various industries. However, the administration's approach raises concerns about creating a workforce that lacks rights and protections, effectively leading to a form of modern indentured servitude.

I’ve been using Snipd for about a year and this app has been life changing. I listen to about 17 hours of podcasts a week and I want to take notes on 95% of them. Snipd makes it so easy to do. I can triple click my headphones and record a snip. The app also improves rapidly which is welcomed. It’s an easy subscription for me to pay.

I used to use a different app that was able to save excerpts from podcast and really enjoyed it. I could listen to the podcast and quickly save things that I wanted to come back to later. Snipd take this to a whole new level with AI integration, creating summaries of podcasts and summarizing the main takeaways from what I’ve saved and snipped. I really love how it helps me prioritize what podcast to listen to with it summaries & deep dives.
