Precedented, but not the same:
If ICE and CBP are basically the reincarnation of the KKK, it’s the KKK with a budget the size of Russia’s entire military.
Literally. In the literal sense of “literally.” The incoming ICE CBP budget is ~$140 billion.[1] Russia’s military budget is ~$145 billion.[2]
(If I’m misreading these numbers, please correct me.)

Finally saw The Running Man (2025) and am still thinking about the choice to set it in the 2020s imagined from the 1980s - of videotape and photocopied zines. Does it still work for people with weaker links to that time?
(I guess Cyberpunk 2077 is also an '80s idea of the future, and that has an impact.)
