MSNBC.com article quote: When she says “we” are going to “liberate” Los Angeles from the “socialists” and the “burdensome leadership” of the governor and the mayor, is she merely talking about continuing with ICE’s sadistic, haphazard raids in which undocumented immigrants with no criminal records, including women and children, and even legal immigrants and U.S. citizens have been ensnared in the name of protecting the homeland from a fictitious foreign invasion of terrorists and hardened gang members? Or is the secretary speaking more literally and indicating the Trump administration intends to remove — or otherwise render moot — democratically elected state and local officials who oppose the federal government’s brutal incursion into their jurisdictions?

This is the modern “boxcars to concentration camps”
semafor.com The Trump administration is in talks with a private shipping-container company to provide temporary space to house and process thousands of migrants slated for deportation, according to people familiar with the matter. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is in discussions with Phoenix-based Willscot about leasing the company's mobile structures to house undocumented detainees, the people said. Willscot's products are commonly used as construction-site storage and office space. The Trump administration might opt to deploy a handful of containers for medical or administrative space at migrant detention facilities, the people said. They are also likely to house some of the thousands of migrants at facilities along the southern border or at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where Trump, via executive order, is looking to send up to 30,000 migrants with criminal records.

“Musk, the memo says, is breaching dozens of US federal laws in an attempt to consolidate centralised control of America’s information, financial and political systems, simultaneously creating major systemic financial risks. The end goal of this movement is shocking. The memo notes, for instance, that the neo-reactionary movement advocates a form of “techno-monarchism” where the CEO-ruler uses “data systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced algorithms to manage the state, monitor citizens, and implement policies. Yarvin’s vision for society is chillingly explicit; he suggests that unproductive members of society should be dealt with through a ‘humane alternative to genocide’—one that removes ‘undesirable elements’ from the public sphere without ‘any of the moral stigma’ of mass murder. His proposed solution? A VR prison where individuals are ‘waxed like a bee larva into a cell.’”
