This is going to lead to a standoff between City/State and Federal law enforcement.
Trump is threatening the Boston Police Department over their refusal to assist ICE in deportations.
This is a big deal. This is a point of material resistance. Pay attention to this.
Elon Musk needs to be arrested. This is illegal. This is a coup.

GeekNights will be live revisiting Shogun / Samurai Swords / Ikusa. The Milton Bradley Gamemaster series classic from 1986!
These webinars are going to set up a test case for the Supreme Court.
Explaining to immigrants their legal rights is going to be declared a crime, and we are going to have a court ruling. If we win, good. If we lose, it’s the flash point. If they ignore the ruling… that’s war.
New Yorkers! Write Governor Hochul today and tell her to remove Eric Adams from the office of Mayor of New York!
4 Deputy Mayors have resigned and are themselves calling for his removal!
The diplomatic world order is about to be profoundly reshaped. The danger and Chaos of the Republican rise to power in the United States is putting us on the tipping point of World War III.
The EU Emergency Summit will reshape the world.

If you want to productively chew someone out who is hurting American workers, here’s someone you can call.
The union is in the street in midtown.
Solidarity is how we make a better world.
I’m going to be blunt.
We need the CIA to do something. We need the military leadership to do something.
We are scant months away from the end of American democracy.
New Yorkers!
Contact your state assembly and senate representatives, as well as the Governor of New York, supporting Senate Bill S4588.
It will materially blunt the GOP’s rise to power
Our talk from MAGFest is about the horrors of modernity and the crisis we’re all facing.
To quote Night in the Woods: “It’s all one big snake.”
I’m about halfway through preparing video of the Metacontext panel from #MAGFest. Hoping to have it up by the end of the week!
For those of you waiting for video of the Post-Postmodernism panel from #MAGFest, I’m working on it!
Why does Youtube’s “AI” refuse to brainstorm about “CEOs” or “Capitalism” but it’ll give me oodles of ideas about content for the Mr. Beast burger?
Why is the word “Capitalism” apparently fully banned from the prompt?
(We all know why)
If you see Trump’s ICE gestapo deportation squads, do the right thing. Warn people effectively.
The S.A.L.U.T.E. method of what to share:

Your overwhelming response implies we’re on to something. Video and deeper dives forthcoming!
“All of Germany hears the Führer with the People’s Receiver.”
This is what Trump and Musk are doing with social media. Nakedly. Openly.
Germany’s ambassador to the US has warned that Trump is a dangerous autocrat and our democracy is in extreme danger. We’re a threat to Europe and to world peace.
Chinese apps (Tiktok, Marvel Snap, etc…) blocked the US pre-emptively to boost Trump.
This is part of a tit-for-tat economic mini-war. They’ll “concede” some of these companies to the US (i.e., to Trump’s tech billionaire buddies) and then invade Taiwan with a free hand in return.
GeekNights will be live with four talks at #MAGFest 2025!

We are a short step from losing democracy forever.
The perfect side for None Pizza with Left Beef
As of today, the GeekNights archive is 725GB.
Don’t tolerate the vile opinions of your Republican relatives. Don’t smile and nod. Don’t let them speak their cruelty in your presence.
“Letting it go” in the name of avoiding conflict is how Trump, cruelty, and misinformation won 2024.

How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days
Pay attention America.
Tim Cook is no better than any Nazi collaborator.
Donating to Trump’s inauguration is a complete capitulation.
It’s morally necessary to cancel your Washington Post subscription. Cancel Amazon Prime while you’re at it. Quit Twitter. Key a cybertruck if you see one.
The billionaire class is siding with the Republican fascists to end democracy.
Time to watch the Rangers (lose)!
