I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

These assholes would probably spend less if they just paid their fucking taxes.
Peter Thiel, the venture capitalist and chairman of Palantir, donated $3 million to a committee opposing an initiative in California that would impose a new tax on billionaires, according to a new disclosure.

🎧 Detour by Jeff Rake, Rob Hart
Detour was fast paced with lots of character development. Ward, a billionaire running for President is determined to explore settling on Mars. The team chosen are some experienced astronauts, and some civilians. One of the three civilians, is Ryan, a cop. Another is a scientist working on the project to go to Mars but not an astronaut. The other civilian is a hacker.
