I’m just glad the US military is finally focused on the real threats - Minnesota and Denmark.

I made this video so we can talk about what ICE is actually doing in our cities. I have the details and you need to hear them. Please share this.
ICE isn't targeting criminals or even people here illegally. They are just making up the law - every day. Here's what's going on.

You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.

Listen to people when they tell you this — the United States Government under Trump isn’t “becoming fascist, authoritarian and corrupt.” It’s already those things. The Trump Government is fascist, authoritarian and corrupt. The fact that it’s going to keep getting worse doesn’t mean that isn’t true.

Over the last year or so I've seen a disturbing tendency in tech/startup/VC worlds to buy into the neoreactionary view that for startups to be successful they need to get on board the Trump train. Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who didn't really surprise anyone—Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, Elon Musk (pre-fallout)—but the more troubling trend has been watching younger entrepreneurs and VCs listen to their podcasts, read their posts and books, and slowly nod along to the idea that democracy is holding back innovation.

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer.
They're ignoring immigration laws.
They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process.
They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population.
