I just got an email a couple weeks ago about filling out the latest census survey. But with Trump and DOGE taking over government programs and infrastructure, updating a federal document with my name, family members, personal data, work, and location kind of scares me.

As we fall farther into a fascist state, now is not the time to be handing over updated personal info to our government. And I'm a white male whose lineage has been 100% American for at least 5 generations now, one of the most protected classes of our current regime. Even I don't feel safe right now.
