Every fucking ICE agent at this point needs to quit or accept they are now Gestapo. Nobody gets to say they were "following orders" or "didn't know", You know what you're doing is wrong. Quit. Today.

The problem with thinking of tech fascism as "Peter Thiel + Curtis Yarvin" and other INDIVIDUALS with cults of personality is it leads to the conclusion that we must do something about those individuals and not that we need to do something about 100+ venture capital firms and thousands of startups.

Our National Guard has always answered the call during disasters. But political leaders are using our military as props for partisan theatre, eroding trust and leaving families vulnerable.

their babies at their backs…
plodding to the ports and coasts for transportation.”

Then the turn of the blade:
