The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta (owner of Facebook and Instagram) and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing.

I’ll save them time.

Hello? Kristi Noem?

Robert Reich here. I hear you’re trying to find the names of people who are making negative comments on social media about ICE enforcement.

Look no further. I’ve done it frequently. I’m still doing it. This note to you is another example.

If you want more details, just type “Robert Reich” into an internet browser, followed by YouTube or Facebook or Instagram or X or TikTok or Reddit or Substack or the Guardian.

Then type in your name, or ICE, or the Department of Homeland Security. That will give you plenty of evidence.

If you read what I’ve said, you’ll find it’s very critical. I’ve done some videos that are very critical of you and ICE, too.

Let me not mince words: I really, truly believe you’re doing a shitty job.

No notes.

I truly wonder how many times someone has said this to her. Betting a lot. A WHOLE lot. Parents, grandparents, friends, teachers, peers, probably even god... right after she shot her own puppy, Cricket, because it didn't listen to her.

That was a similar reason that I use my home address for posting my political ideological thoughts and feelings.

Cops go to great efforts to hide their IRL identities online and home addresses. That is weak sauce, and it is because they are morally corrupt and incapable of being human.
