Is the timing of this some weird "expelling the snakes" dog whistle? Or just a coincidence?

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.

Democratic governors are in a real bind right now. Non zero chance that the state police start ignoring orders once push comes to shove. None of them have put any thought let alone resources into building parallel defense infrastructure answerable only to the governors office.

there aren't a lot of visible Trumpists in my town. if anything, there's a sizable minority of vocal, Democrat-supporting, alienated Republicans. but there are a couple, including one house that's made a point of flying the American flag ever since election day.

The number one thing I've been hearing from people in tech lately is, basically, "How the hell am I supposed to work in this industry anymore?" Though most folks are kind of afraid to say it out loud. So I wrote about how to think about it:
