The people with the power should be the ones we can see.
Protesters aren't paid by taxpayers. They don't carry badges or guns. They can't arrest anyone.
ICE agents can do all three.
If you have the power to arrest someone, we should be able to see your face.

@mcuban.bsky.social I've heard in interviews that you dislike the use of "oligarchy" in public discourse.
Genuinely curious why - especially since leaders from both the left and the right are increasingly using that terminology to describe what's happening in the country right now.
Thanks!
