So the oligarchs are the state and the oligarchs (the state) own the means of production, TV, social media etc. Palantir (Peter Thiel) is building a database on every single American and creating dystopian surveillance/police state, and the ‘don’t tread on me’ peeps are silent?
Got it.
Got it.

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

The problem is not that we can’t impeach the president. Although we can and should. The real problem is that we can’t impeach Stephen Miller because we never elected or confirmed him.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Many have observed the similarities between Noem's ICE and the Proud Boys.
But folks, I have the receipts. I reviewed tapes from 2016-2017 of Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes.
