ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

1. He was making fun of the cancel culture around Charlie Kirk
2. It's absolutely true that you can go outside your country and have more freedom to comment on the politics of your country

I don't know why I visit this hellsite, it's worse than X

This is a really important and underrated idea about fundraising. The single-largest source of inefficiency in non-profits is having to chase large funding sources.

Crowdfunding isn't just great for users, it is also great for the recipients, because they can plan better.
