You can in the Waymo app - in LA, SF and Phoenix.

Riding a Waymo is one of the few things in 2025 that truly make me feel like I'm living in the 21st century.

It is and it is Google's Waymo. You can easily find specs and pics.

Yes the entire fleet is Jaguars, the tech is impressive. So is the safety data from their test markets in LA, SF, PHX. Way better than human drivers. I've never felt this safe in a car in LA.

Cost is the same as Uber/Lyft.

It's who we want to be.
For a fraction of ICE's budget, we could have top tier weather prediction experts working to protect American lives 24/7.

Instead.... we chose this <gestures around at everything>

This is only the beginning. This is the part where our center can no longer hold.

Don't think for a second that native born US citizens will be spared.

A police force of this size does not discriminate, it simply exercises its power any way its pleases. It will be used against dissenters and dissidents and anyone els our govt does not like.

Fascism has arrived in America.

US immigrants will be hunted, harassed, persecuted like never been before in US history, with a police force juggernaut turned loose on them that knows only violence + cruelty.

Budget of 120B means $2,250 for *every legal and illegal immigrant*.

Nobody is safe.

It's a fascist wet dream.

Lander was accompanying an undocumented person out of a hearing, walking arm-in-arm to protect him from being snatched.

When masked ICE agents grabbed the guy anyway, Lander refused to let go until he was shown a warrant. Instead of showing him the warrant, they cuffed him and dragged him away.
