I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

It is simply not politically or economically tenable for California and New York to fund the federal government while Trump tries to kneecap the states.
In January, Donald Trump looked me in the eye on the tarmac, promising Angelenos that he'd help rebuild after the firestorms.

11 months later, he still hasn't delivered.

That's why I'm headed to D.C. to push for a long-overdue federal aid package for survivors.

If he is concerned about dual loyalty, why not extend the constitution's prohibition on immigrants serving as Presidents to all federal elected offices? Or, at least jut ban guys born in Colombia from serving in the Senate.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

The liars in the White House aren't "mistaken." They know they're lying. They think lying is a big part of their job. Never cut them a break by thinking they're confused or deluded. They're lying to steal the freedom of everyone you love.

A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff.

But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days.

WTH?

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.
