Per 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 sniveling, authoritarian toads that they are.

"humiliating" folks might not be the proportional response when innocent people are dying

How else are we supposed to deter tech people from working for Palantir? What is a good polite method?

The govt contract with them should be voided. That's the way.

But in the US no one believes they can meaningfully influence govt for real issues. And they are right.

Sure you can get them to paint a rainbow zebra crossing. /s

But not stop/prevent a (civil) war. Democracy dies and lobbyism (what we call corruption in "modern western democracies" -- because we dont do corruption, that's for poor countries!) takes over when the power is consolidated at a high enough level.

In the meantime, between now and the elections, what is a good method for deterring tech people from working for ICE? They are administering an authoritarian state today.
