Wikipedia is needed now more than ever, 25 years on
The online encyclopedia is an antidote to an increasingly poisoned information ecosystem. Researchers should help to nourish it.

Some people consider that Mises Caucus of US Libertarian Party is just Weed-MAGA.
I agree.

Vulgar libertarianism has become a threat to not only the libertarians but the whole world in 2026.

The official account of White House on X is intentionally seeking attention.
Do NOT reply them. Do NOT argue with them.

Most Americans stand again ICE, but they haven't noticed that the tech used by ICE was created by Peter Thiel, a person so called "libertarian".
DON'T BE EVIL. Peter Thiel, shame on you.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

“Don't tread on anyone” is the only acceptable formation of that phrase.
