Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Do you you think there's a sort of... content creation apocalypse coming? Like this sort of thing: 1) People have limited eyeball time. You can increase it marginally, but certainly not an order of magnitude above what it is now (people have to sleep!) 2) Media creation has gotten ever easier
