I am not fun at parties, why do people keep speculating about this
The thing is, someone who is popular and followed by others doesn't need to "join an org".
Because they're not subject to your gatekeeping or constraints, they are out directly acting against ICE, while you sit in your apartment complaining about it.

This is what liberal Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social was posting when leftists blocked off an ICE jail in Portland for a full summer in 2018.
Now he's driving around alone doing stochastic self-entertainment passed off as "activism", because he's The Smartest Boy, far too smart to join an org.

“BAD ADVICE.” Republicans are embracing a method to criticize Trump’s actions without calling him out
Blame advisers.
Threaten Greenland? Just “bad advice.”
Tariffs? “It’s not the president,” it’s Navarro.
Investigating Powell, credit card rates… List is long.

'Bad advice': Republicans criticize Trump's policies without going directly at him

The US will not need to invade Greenland militarily, because Europe cannot defend Greenland militarily.
The token European forces are being deployed to deter the US military with suasion, not force. They are a desperate appeal to Europe's many friends within the US military to fend off the worst.

Hey does anyone else recall "ugh, VP tiebreaker votes are so partisan and divisive"
The Senate voted 51–50 against an effort to block Trump from further Venezuela military action without Congress’ authorisation. Vance broke the tie.

Protester is 21 yrs old. ICE agent dragged him and held his head down in his own pool of blood, mocked him about losing his eye. They fired pepper pellets at the HEAD of a witness recording the incident.

JPM DESK: If a credit-card cap were implemented, “there would likely be a significant reduction in credit offered, .. so this would be a de facto monetary tightening. What would be the analogous number of rate hikes ..? I am not sure, but feels like it would be similar to multiple rate hikes.”

Anybody remember how conservatives relentlessly mocked the phrase "if it saves just one child..."
Rep. Lisa McClain: "I think it's very very odd. So everyone in Minnesota is protesting ICE, who is actually trying to keep legal Americans safe. Why wouldn't those people be protesting the fraud in Minneapolis if they really care about their communities and children? Seems kind of upside down."

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

The problem is that no cop anywhere wants to die for anything. That's the entire problem. Traffic stop, ICE raid, martial law, whatever. Their priority is to keep themselves alive, the rest of us can get bent.
This is a bullshit answer. With very few exceptions the ICE guys do not want to die for this regime. Conceding the law to the imagined threat of violence is asinine. If “your” cops feel this way that’s their problem, too.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
