1/ One thing I can say with 20+ years of experience on this, is that the MSM (a term I hate but) is incredibly slow to cover protests and to understand what they signify.

For a clear-eyed take on this, I recommend Meghan O'Gieblyn's book, "God, Human, Animal, Machine." After leaving Bible school and losing her religion, she finds extreme parallels within the Silicon Valley hype of things like AI and transhumanism. Really a fascinating read.
There is a quasi-religion in Silicon Valley that views AI as godlike. This faith has always been parallel to Evangelical Christianity: salvation (transhumanism), the rapture (the technological singularity), and demons (Roko's Basilisk)
Lately the AI faith has fully fused with Christian Nationalism.

The Alien Enemies Act proclamation is out. Obviously this is an illegal invocation of a wartime authority for peacetime immigration enforcement.
Many thoughts to come, but the first is that they messed up the drafting for what they're trying to accomplish.

🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

They do understand that all the private weather forecast services (like the Weather Channel) are just reporting NWS data, right? This is not something you can farm out, NO ONE ELSE is collecting data on this scale.
