Good friend is looking for work in Silicon Valley right now, having intro meetings with execs, and she told me yesterday that literally every startup founder she talks to says that: They see the current moment as their last chance to get rich before the drawbridge is raised. They're scared.

Since there are a lot of people insisting that protests don't matter and the Trumpists can simply ignore public opinion: I just wrote about why this idea that authoritarian regimes are impervious to public pressure is very wrong and basically just perpetuates the regime's assertion of inevitability:

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

Monsters. Irredeemable. Unreformable.
There is no technical or administrative fix for this, this is not a matter of training. This isn’t about policy at all.
As a matter of democratic self-defense, ICE must not be tolerated.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.
