You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe whatβs happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropicβs AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.
Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

So letβs think about this.
A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the governmentβs demands.
The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up."
If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod:

Fascist Failure
The State of Trump
What is the state of Trump? He is failing at fascism. For Trump to succeed in his fascist transition, he needs a bloody, popular, victorious war. And that is out of his reach. The State of the Union was full of fascist atmospherics. It was also blowhard exhaustion

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

The most disturbing new trend in ICE behavior is agents escorting legal observers who are out patrolling our neighborhoods to their home, stopping, exiting the vehicle and pointing at their house. The message they're sending is pretty clear.

I watched it, that actually makes it much worse. He never should have been in front of the SUV. We are trained do not get in front of a vehicle like that, thereβs only bad outcomes. Also, his video clearly shows she was not surreptitiously reaching for any objects within the vehicles drivers compartment, so the only defense for the agent would be that she was trying to run him over, which clearly isnβt the case, as emphasized by the fact that his legs were out of the way. The video also shows the SUV was moving so slowly that even in icy conditions he shouldβve just moved out of the way. In the department of justice we are prohibited from using deadly force purely to prevent escape. Bad shoot all around
