As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I have a brief story I want to tell about the Tech Right, the Trump administration, and immigration.
In June 2024, Trump went on the All In podcast and said we should make it easier for international students who graduate from top US colleges to become citizens.
"It's so sad when we lose people from Harvard" after they graduate, he said. "I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country. That is going to end on day one."
This was huge. Day one! Wow. The All In guys ate it up. Chamath goes: "That's fantastic." David Sacks: "That's great." Tech folks proclaimed Trump to be fully high-skill-immigration-pilled.
Well, he's president now. And stapling green cards to diplomas isn't happening.
What's happening instead?
1. Today, the Trump administration announced that it's illegal for Harvard to enroll foreign students and existing students have to transfer or face deportation.
2. The nominee for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director said he wants to end the US's single largest high-skill recruitment program, OPT, which is critical for helping foreign-born students stay in the country.
3. NIH funding YTD is down more than 50%, and more AI scientists are leaving the country than coming in.

Realized at 6:30pm that I have been wearing two different (albeit similar looking) shoes all day - including a full day in the office…

I’m pissed off at the Tush Push. It’s going to cost Saquon MVP.
