      with ice assaulting abuelitas and children, the uvalde massacre, pigs beating peaceful protestors, etc, i think it's extremely clear that the police state and it's larger surveillance apparatus is explicitly designed to put boots on the necks of regular people and certainly not to keep anybody safe

      This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants
      NYT headline reads: "The Young People Fixated on Who Gets to Work in America

For some Gen Z conservatives, H-1B visas are a hot new topic."
