Earlier this week, agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security surrounded and raided an apartment building in Chicago, pulling men, women and children from their beds in the middle of the night. They then posted a "highlight reel" on social media. For his Doomsday Scenario newsletter, Garrett Graff writes about these "Kavanaugh Raids" and their connection to the Palmer Raids, a century ago.

I know corporations gonna corporation but sometimes it still hurts.
This isn't the Apple Steve started. It's certainly not the one he came back to breath new life into.
I never met him, but feel like he’d resist this kind of thing.
Few people/entities have the wealth and power to say "fuck you" to the fascist regime taking root in America, but Apple is one of them.
I'm glad I'm less involved in the ecoystem than I used to be. I'd be struggling.

Even Apple can't stand up to a regime that invokes ruinous tariffs on a whim.
Trump runs the government like a protection racket.
@andytiedye I mean they're sitting on 163billion with a B cash on hand. They very much could weather tariffs if they wanted to.
Completely agree on your other point, and giving in, like with any bully, only makes them more bold.

Zack Polanski's response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.
Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.
And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.
Thank you Zack.
