I remember in the 2010s when Silicon Valley was full of founders who genuinely wanted to use technology to make the world a better place, and now it's just fascists who want to use technology to kill brown people more efficiently

> Everyone is ok targeting the immigrant populations To echo another commentor, we're not. And even if we were, this is not how it should be done. Enforcing the laws is one thing, but we have to have due process. Without due process, we have no rights.
Due process for EVERY person in the legal territory regardless of who or what they are. Otherwise it's way to easy to say, "they're the other, and have no rights", and they are already using this line.
Which is absolutely unconstitutional. The constitution says the 4th amendment protects all people, not just citizens. It's been upheld many times by the supreme court. This administration is knowingly and willingly trampling the constitution. The midterm elections can't come soon enough. And in the meantime we all need to get in the streets. Anyone can manipulate social media. But you can't manipulate the narrative when there is an overwhelming number of brave people in the streets clearly and peacefully protesting.

#133Make no mistake, the immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota are only a training ground for how to undermine civil rights for us all. Everyone is ok targeting te immigrant populations because they are "illegal" or live in a gray area of legality. But eventually these same tools will be used against us.
Along the same lines, anyone who thinks this is just about immigration should ask themselves what all these tens of thousands of ICE agents are going to do when all the immigrants are finally deported. Are they just going to go home and go back to their old jobs? Or do you think the Administration is going to find something else for them to do.
They could monitor the midterm elections /s

#134Per the WSJ, as of January 10th this year, ICE has identified 13 instances of agents firing at or into civilian vehicles, leaving eight people shot with two confirmed dead. Five of those shot were citizens. According to court records, only one of these civilians was armed and never drew his weapon. There is a sickness curdling in the dark corners of Silicon Valley. These people need to be humiliated for being the sni…
There are reports that ICE threw a flash bang into a vehicle last night that contained a father trying to leave with his children to get them to safety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbMO7u44LGM

I think the GP means the collective "we" is OK with it, evidenced simply by the fact that it is happening.
Yep, and from the outside, the rest of the world is watching you all just let it happen.
How can you watch the protest and organization in MN and conclude people are "just letting it happen". Quite the opposite.

#139If you work for Palantir and if you work on these systems: You have blood on your hands. You know that it's not right what is happening on the ground right now. Do something.
I assume if someone works for Palantir they're an unabashed Yarvinist and fine with it.

PLTR stock peaked at $200 last year and has been going back up so far this year. People are investing in CCP style tech and don't care.
