@feld lol… that’s not accurate.

“adequate notice” and “judicial review” are hardly “The right to a fair and public trial”

Hm. So now he can officially deport or put anyone in camps. They say it’s illegal immigrants but how would you know without due process?

Everyone in software have met at least one (usually many) overly confident n00b who thought he could rewrite the whole thing he didn’t understand.

Someone should send them the Joel On Software link… just unbelievable

Imagine someone obsessed with money, zero ethics, who has the power to literally move the market. Don’t you think they’ll just use it to buy low, sell high? ie wild swings for max gains

Resorting to protest by memes because at this point is there anything we can actually do beyond shouting at the sky? Basically umbrella revolution vibes as our rights and basic government services are taken away

What’s with the obsession with immigrants

So imagine this scenario expedited by the help of local police. Anyone suspected of association can now be detained (aka rounded up) without due process in the name of national security.

Everything is now “legal”.

I don’t think I’m being irrational, nor am I saying this absolutely going to happen, but it looks like to me a planned patterned preparation.

With so much noise and outrage it’s hard to keep up, so here is (imho) the potential signals they are trying to drown out

If their goal is to be able to lock up any non-white person

1. Erosion of due process (done) -Laken Riley Act

2. Declare a state of national emergency and close borders - communication at the CDC is closed down. This is how you manufacture a pandemic

3. Use the pandemic ^ to declare a national security threat by associating with some state actors

“California attorney Mark Lemley dropped Meta Platforms Inc. as a client in a high-profile copyright case because of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s “descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness,” the Stanford University professor said on LinkedIn…. that he “cannot in good conscience serve as their lawyer any longer.”

The nightmare continues

“The initial lawsuit, filed on January 27, cites reports that Musk’s associates illegally connected a server to a government network for the purposes of harvesting information, including the names and email accounts of federal employees. The server was installed on the agency’s premises, the complaint alleges, without OPM—the government’s human resources department—conducting a mandatory privacy impact assessment required under federal law.”

The conversation around basic diversity and ethics in the US has been comically, if not horrifically, regressive since jan 20.

It’s so ridiculous that it’s comical in 2025, but unfortunately also deadly. It’s all talks now, but it will be increasingly deadly for more and more people.

We all knew it would be bad, but this is all happening so quickly that it’s obvious it’s planned as foundation for something much worse.

Had to debate some people who refused to believe that people are being charged * arbitrary * prices.

The chinese proverb “近朱者赤，近墨者黑" translates to "Those who are close to vermilion will turn red, and those who are close to ink will turn black.” The idea here is that your character and behavior can be influenced by the company you keep.

The same goes for the media you consume. Get off X, get off Facebook, people tend to overestimate their immunity against manufactured consent 🙄

I swear this hotel restaurant never discover this magical thing call salt.
