Before she was "Jane the Icon" who was known around the world, she was "Just Jane."

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

And if you want techno-feudalism it would help greatly to have a population that are dependent and lack the ability to think critically. AI is a tool to facilitate the end-to-end wipeout of critical thinking.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

In 1861, Americans went to war to keep a cabal from taking control of the government and turning it into an oligarchy. Americans fought for a government that defended democracy and equality before the law.
And in 1865, at least, they won. Happy Thanksgiving. - HCR
