They should shut down the entire government if it's in the business of sponsoring masked gunmen kidnapping people and shooting protestors.

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

โ€œAfter years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship & bring back free speech to America. Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents.โ€

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

So, do I have this right? The official Dem response to masked federal agents killing Americans in the streets and abducting people, including children, to put in concentration camps is:

โ€œWe need ICE to be more like the rest of the violent, often unaccountable militarized police around the country.โ€

Not surprised that Discord lied, but fucking FURIOUS that they're sending them to a company linked to bloody Peter Thiel.

Meaning any data given to Discord is absolutely going to be given to ICE and other similar groups.

Since Reagan, the rallying cry of Republicans has been "think of the children!" Every excessive act, every oppressive law was justified if it protected the children.

Unspoken in that, but known to most, was it only applied to white, wealthy, Christian children

They want the rest to die quickly.

Anyone currently involved in federal immigration enforcement, every officer, every bureaucrat, every lawyer, every judge, is a member of the most evil group of people this country has seen since Reconstruction. Darkness personified, every one. Doing this to children is beyond depraved.

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where โ€” at a bare minimum โ€” they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

I think the thing that enrages me the most about Musk is that he presents himself as some sci-fi nerd hero doing everything possible to save humanity by going to new planets.

If your plan for saving humanity doesnโ€™t include the people already on earth, youโ€™re just a racist piece of shit.
