What Thiel is saying about tax havens = what Altman is saying about copyright:

"I can't be rich unless you let me steal from you."

Connect with your people offline. Take the chats to signal but also take your close relationships offline entirely. We need to be connected when they shut this all down.

What’s your organizing plan if things go dark? Where do you meet? Who picks up what work? How do we communicate?

Good morning! I’m at the Broadview Detention Facility in Chicago, Illinois. Several dozen protesters are here protesting against the ramp up in federal deportation raids in the Chicago area. Things are testy already, several attempted arrests from DHS.
