The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Recently finished reading this book by @jacobsilverman.com It is one of the best books to come out recently about technology & politics.
@jacobsilverman.com’s Gilded Rage tracks Silicon Valley’s sharp rightward turn—from liberal hub to Trump-aligned power center. Tech elites like Elon Musk now openly reject regulation, democracy, and the state they say “held them back.”

Why Fascists Always Come for the Socialists First
Contrary to right-wing myths that the "Nazis were socialist," fascists despise socialism and want to destroy it. Here's why the left poses such a threat to them.
