Meritocracy is a myth, racism is real, freedom for all.
Running a gov (for people) is not like running a biz (for profit).
The E in DOGE stands for Enshittification.

⚖️ The Trump administration is firing scores of immigration judges, many w/ a background in defending immigrants, while hiring new judges tied to DHS, ICE, & the military.
For many, this isn’t just a reshuffle.
It’s a restructuring of who gets to decide who stays in the U.S.🧵

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Palantir just released quarterly earnings.
The most important part was the disclosure of $486 million in government contracts.
They’re developing “military AI”, including biometric identity tracking… to find and surgically eliminate anyone, anywhere.
ICE is currently testing the platform.

The "pro-weed" gun case is a trap for lefties. Yes, it's hypocritcal to take away guns from people who use weed, but not people who abuse alcohol. But the way to deal with that is to DECRIMINALIZE WEED, not expand gun rights.
