What is the authoritarian playbook? It is really simple: You get into power on an issue of common concern. Once you win, you accumulate power, enrich yourself, your family, and your closest allies, and go after anyone who disagrees with you. I know this firsthand. The President called for me to be investigated, arrested, and hanged for sedition after I made a 90-second video. So I feel like I’ve earned a little bit of street cred on the authoritarian playbook Trump and his team are employing.

Today, Pace has raised a $46 million Series B, co-led by @ThriveCapital and @Sequoia, with participation from @emergencecap and @pruvencapital, to help our customers insure more of the world’s risk. @pacecom agents have completed more than 250,000 critical insurance operations, growing 3x every quarter. The world’s leading insurers, like Prudential, WTW and Convex, trust Pace to scale back-office operations. 60% of the world's losses last year went uninsured. Closing this $9 trillion protection gap starts with AI-native operations.

Today we’re announcing Pace has raised $10M led by Sequoia to build the AI operations partner for the world’s leading insurers. Insurance exists to do something remarkable: turn uncertainty into security. But between that sits an enormous amount of operational friction: processing submissions, servicing policies, and adjudicating claims. Leading insurers have already completed tens of thousands of these complex insurance transactions with @pacecom agents in production. Check out our team showing what this looks like in practice: agents which work across systems and modalities to complete work end to end.

This is preposterous. First of all, she's not waving the officers through and has no right to do so even if she were. She is waving another car through, before the officers approach her car. Second, the officers are not randomly searching her, they are approaching her vehicle because she is violating the law: namely, she is obstructing a lawful enforcement operation. You're not allowed to walk up to or drive up to people who are enforcing the law to make it harder for them to do their jobs. Third, this defense attorney is drawing a meaningless distinction between an ICE officer and a "real police officer." Again, you're not allowed to interrupt a lawful enforcement operation, which is exactly what this woman was doing. Fourth, the officer didn't discharge his weapon to prevent her from fleeing. When he discharged his weapon, she had pointed the vehicle at him and pressed the gas. He discharged his weapon in self defense, and other angles of the video show the woman *clearly* hit the officer with her car while accelerating. The gaslighting is off the charts and I'm having none of it. This guy was doing his job. She tried to stop him from doing his job. When he approached her car, she tried to hit him. A tragedy? Absolutely. But a tragedy that falls on this woman and all of the radicals who teach people that immigration is the one type of law that rioters are allowed to interfere with.
