Enabling the destruction of trust at scale and speed seems bad tho.
Even people with good epistemologies are going to have a hard time when there’s no reliable custody of evidence. Where will we be when all human sensation is subject to a gish-gallop of BS generated faster than discarded?

My pt is yes we can pick out fake news videos today. We can trust our experience today.
We’re going to rely on companies to be trustworthy even when lies are cheaper? Where will trustworthy news come from? Freelancers we know? Through what channel? How will they eat and travel? With whose money?

On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition.
ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.
They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.
My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Questions for the WH press corps tomorrow:
“Isn’t it unfair that Bovino lost his job while Stephen Miller faced no consequences?”
“What message does that send to the rank and file ICE agents?”
“Has POTUS been getting bad advice from Miller?”
“Does the President still have confidence in Miller?”

Stephen Miller made the same claims and this would be an *excellent* time for mainstream folks (papers, celebs, athletes) and Dems to demand his resignation as well. So consistently and loudly that the WH is forced to respond. Make him their liability.

I'm gonna add to this that the Dems had ZERO to do with the Bovino firing. It was the tireless work of the good people of MSP standing strong, filming and writing the news with their first hand accounts. The press tried to both sides it. They WANTED to. But the citizens of Minnesota ended this guy
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.
