I’m just a simple country political scientist but where I come from if your country has a secret police force that can give orders to members of the national legislature that’s…what’s the right word…bad.
“The Department of Homeland Security has formally instituted a new requirement that members of Congress and their staff provide a week of notice before they visit immigration detention facilities, a policy that is at odds with a federal law that allows lawmakers to make unannounced oversight trips.“
ICE to require lawmakers to give a week’s notice before detention visits.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

This is exactly what they're trying to achieve by destroying government services that benefit the public. A VC-backed startup intervenes to gather data that the National Weather Service was previously collecting, and before we know it, we will be paying them for what was once funded by our taxes.

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan:

We don’t want “SpaceX engineers”
We want trained, competent air traffic controllers, ground crew personnel and people well versed in making sure the public can fly safely
Which hasn’t happened ever since President Musk and his flunky Trump forced out FAA Chief Michael Whitaker

I think my longest held, most controversial opinion is that should practically outlaw billionaires by creating a 100% marginal tax rate for income after $1B. Use that money to pay for universal healthcare and public college.
Reduces income inequality and provides free, basic services.
