This is individualistic thinking. I asked that because people will not be at a protest alone, and it would be good to help those around them that don’t have that type of training.

This push began under Musk’s leadership at DOGE. Now it’s Thiel’s turn. And make no mistake, this is about power. With a centralized, government-controlled data system, Trump gains new tools to target critics, intimidate dissenters, and go after immigrants.

Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
