Mass arrests. Trumped-up charges. Brutal violence. They’re all part of the city’s effort to destroy the movement against the infamous police facility. | |

Florida Republicans passed a bill criminalizing the transport of undocumented people into Florida, requiring hospitals to ask about immigration status on intake forms, invalidating out of state driver’s licenses or other forms of government ID issued to undocumented people, and preventing local governments from issuing identification cards to undocumented people.
Now, after sparking backlash among thousands of immigrants (who make up a great deal of Florida’s economy), some Florida Republicans are trying to backpedal and do damage control.
On Monday, Representatives Alina Garcia, Rick Roth, and Juan Fernandez Barquin appeared at an event sponsored by Hialeah Mayor Esteban Bovo, also a Republican. The trio, all of whom voted to pass the anti-immigrant bill, clumsily attempted to appeal to the thousands of people their party has alienated.
“This bill is 100 percent supposed to scare you,” said Roth. “I’m a farmer, and the farmers are mad as hell. We are losing employees. They’re already starting to move to Georgia and other states. It’s urgent that you talk to all your people and convince them that you have resources, state representatives, and other people that can explain the bill to you,” he added, essentially begging Florida’s labor force to not leave the state that cares little for them.
“This is more of a political bill than it is policy. It does give more police state powers going forward to deal with immigration, but still this is mainly a political bill,” Roth concluded incoherently. It’s just politics and messaging, but also it ramps up the police state, but also it’s just all politics. OK. | |

DEVITO: Life! It’s the best!
SCHWARZENEGGER: Exactly. What’s that all about?
DEVITO: Yeah.
SCHWARZENEGGER: I tell you, there’s someone that mixed up this whole thing. Think about it. Who can we blame?
DEVITO: You mean that we don’t live forever?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Yeah. That we have to die.
DEVITO: That’s tough, man.
SCHWARZENEGGER: I don’t know what the deal is, but in any case, it’s a reality, and it truly pisses me off.
DEVITO: You don’t want to die.
SCHWARZENEGGER: No. What the fuck? What kind of deal is that? | |

Hundreds of millions of dollars later, the California startup that tried to disrupt pizza delivery has gone belly up.
Zume, which had raised a total of $445 million since its founding in 2015, ceased operations last month and is liquidating its assets, according to a report from The Information. Once based in Mountain View but most recently headquartered in Camarillo, the firm planned to cook pizzas in the back of a massive truck, with robots, while en route to customers’ homes.
In 2016, Zume delivered its first pies, and positive reviews rolled in on Yelp. But Bloomberg reported that the company quickly gave up on the cooking-while-driving model — cheese kept sliding around when the truck hit bumps in the road — and started parking in central locations to send out typical deliveries.
Nevertheless, investors were intrigued — particularly SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son, famous for the $100 billion “Vision Fund” that dumped $4.4 billion into WeWork. Bloomberg reported that Zume CEO Alex Garden was projecting hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue and talking about becoming the “Tesla of fresh food, and the Amazon of fresh food,” trying to get Son to invest.
In 2018, SoftBank poured $375 million into the company, according to Pitchbook, valuing the startup, still with a relatively untested product, at around $2.25 billion.
The money didn’t last. Zume had employees jump from project to project, including a monthslong push to build a sensor that would monitor the heat of food as it was delivered, Bloomberg reported. The firm burned through cash without bringing in much revenue (less than $1 million in 2019, according to Bloomberg), and at the beginning of 2020, Zume quit the pizza game, laid off half of its staff and pivoted into engineering sustainable packaging. | |

Many bad things Congress does are bipartisan, but threatening to tank the economy in order to gut the liberal state is almost entirely Republican cruelty. Our media should explicitly say so. | |
