Lavrentiy Beria of the NKVD loved making lists until he landed on one himself.

Is there a way to read these articles without creating a subscription? This is the second 404media post to make the front page in the last day, and I don't understand if the commenters here actually happen to be subscribers and can read the article, if there's a way to read it without subscribing (none is posted in the comments, which is unusual for paywalled articles), or if they're just commenting without having read it.

Oh sure, I see those posted all the time in threads about paywalled articles. I assumed if it wasn't linked in this thread (like it usually is) then it didn't work for this site.

son you'd better believe Y-Combinator is handing all account info and posts here over to, like, everyone

and that's assuming you ask; the bots can scrape it easy enough

ICE is now a fascist paramilitary operation, and in my view, they are no longer legitimate. They lost that claim when they began violating the constitutional rights of citizens and immigrants alike as a matter of policy. They must be abolished.

Wrong. Wait and see what happens!

I mean, they aren't there to police the hyper-wealthy, so I'm not sure why you'd expect them to go after those folks... that's like expecting the DEA to go after the CIA.

But to your question: Cuba, actually.

There aren't 20M valid targets for deportation there are around 12M if you add in wrong addresses there are more invalid targets than valid.
