I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Ahh yes, bombing for peace. Classic! /s

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

lol WHAT.

I know it's not the same, but getting hacked and watching someone access my personal information is triggering the same feelings of "nowhere and nothing is safe" that having my diary stolen from my car or my apartment broken into and rifled through brought on. Anxious and paranoid.

My takeaway from this: He is so fucked.

my TikTok got hacked and knowing a stranger now has control over my photos/videos feels quite violating 😕

I reported it & submitted a ticket, but is there anything else I can do??

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Please repeat over and over:

Nothing like a "got 15 minutes to chat" from your manager to get your heart pumping again 😭 even when everything's fine, my brain screams WE CANT GET LAID OFF IN THIS ECONOMY

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!?

Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

There's no way you migrate such a huge system RESPONSIBLY to a new language in months, especially from a language none of those 19 year olds have ever seen. I bet they cut corners & roll it out without extensive testing, because that's start up tech culture nowadays 🤦🏼‍♀️

Government abductions are unconstitutional.

Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional.

If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute…

They’ll get to you soon enough.

The last few days made me feel so much better, knowing that this bunch is not gonna win a war against Canada.

Don't get too fixated on the scandal of classified military operational data being sent on a publicly available messaging app.
It's only week 9. These merit based hires will definitely do more stupid things.

Turkish student at Tufts University detained, video shows masked people handcuffing her A lawyer for a Turkish national and doctoral student at Tufts University says she has been detained by Department of Homeland Security agents without explanation.

ICE has already moved Rumeysa Ozturk to Louisiana in violation of a court order signed last night ordering her not to be removed from Massachusetts.

This is rendition to avoid legal process and to torture detainees in Louisiana.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

It's just funny...

Reports are coming in that Trump-era ICE agents have arrested even American-born citizens during raids. If you’re just heading to work or the grocery store, how would you prove you’re an American? This is getting out of hand—Americans have a right to privacy.

Top Trump officials accidentally shared war plans with media Hegseth reportedly assured chat participants that “we are currently clean on OPSEC” despite the accidental inclusion of a journalist.

The fact that while working in defense, I would have been fired for any ONE of the illegal things he did, but he'll just have another whiskey and keep on keeping on?

Outrageous.

Nasa drops plan to land first woman and first person of color on the moon Promise was central plank to space agency’s Artemis program, which is scheduled to return humans to the lunar surface in 2027

Space is for white men now.

You don't have to pretend any more.

trump believes he is the boss of america and that it is our duty as his subjects to show him endless respect and deference. anything less than groveling is to be punished by the state.
