The OTHER camp has been blasting out weird alternate-universe fanfic wherein Itch is an evil cackling corpo with 100s of employees and 100s of millions to splash on lawyers. See: "platforms are not your friend" as thought-terminating cliche. These people are worse than useless!

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

Ok, proof of concept is now a working prototype:

- plus bike parkades!
- legend on the map (ik ik 😅)
- lot of changes under the hood (manifests and whatnot) so you should see less ‘unknown location’ pop-ups

We've got Bill Kristol saying abolish ICE and standing up for trans people, David Brooks quoting the communist manifesto, and Sen. Van Hollen forcing a dictator to give proof of life of a hostage in a death camp.
Meanwhile, Dems like Newsom are doing podcasts with fascists.
Make it make sense.
