Numbers is good but for the very best ultra-violence I suggest Deuteronomy
Deut. 21:18-21
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death.

JFC what would it cost to pay researchers to review papers and have costs only be to cover those who want physical copies. Compare that number to the $75Billion for ICE specifically, between now and 2029
$7.5 Million would probably cover it for the same period
Think what the USA could have been
- Comment on new shadow library just dropped 3 weeks ago:
publicly funded research is locked away behind high pay walls
Even though <1% of people would read it, the fact that it’s all there and not hidden would do a lot to dispel the hideous intersection between conspiracy theorists and anti-science sentiment that is now poisoning civic society.

- Comment on Trump Had Unusual Call With F.B.I. Agents After Election Center Search 3 weeks ago:
It’s significantly worse than the headline
What occurred during the meeting was even further outside the bounds of normal law enforcement procedure. Ms. Gabbard used her cellphone to call Mr. Trump, who did not initially pick up but called back shortly after, the people said.
The president addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising and thanking them for their work on the inquiry, according to three people with knowledge of the discussion.
The supervisor of the squad, which investigates allegations of public corruption and civil rights violations and developed the evidence for the search, primarily fielded Mr. Trump’s queries, the people said. One U.S. official said the call was fairly short, perhaps just a minute long, and compared the conversation to a pep rally or a coach giving an encouraging halftime speech to his players. That person said the president gave no substantive direction to the investigators.
Mr. Trump personally ordered Ms. Gabbard to go to Atlanta for the search, and coordinated her actions with Andrew Bailey, one of two deputy F.B.I. directors, according to the U.S. official.
I’ll just remind people of Steve Bannon’s blunt assertion that there will be a 3rd term .

It took me a few iterations to parse, but finally I groked the cut of your jib and noticed the reference to Musk’s X/Twitter
First – Dude, how many European or Canadian governmental entities still post on an official X account? Quite a few. We’re all working against Metcalfe’s Law here.
Second – FWIW this niche issue is one I do push on IRL. Locally there are often bills that would require our government to do things like use open source software, use open document standards, ensure all government internet services can be accessed via standards-compliant web pages (not apps that require iOS or Android), yadda. I do what I can to support those. It’s a long uphill process, but also kind of a hobby.

“Sometimes my daughter doesn’t want to leave our room because she is so sad and just wants to leave this prison so badly. She cries and cries about all of this. I am so worried that I barely eat,” the woman said.
Representative Veronica Escobar of Texas warned of “dangerous and inhumane” conditions in a letter to the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem:
It is increasingly clear that it is not a safe nor professionally managed facility. Continuing to detain people at Camp East Montana means continually exposing people to risks from bad water, unhygienic conditions, poorly built facilities and a general lack of security and reliable management.
