In Late, Obscure Notice, DHS Turbocharges Trump’s Voter Purge Database, Evading Privacy Protections Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security quietly formalized sweeping changes to a federal immigration database, turning it into a national β€œvoter verification” tool that appears to sidestep federal privacy protections and will make it easier to remove large numbers of voters from the rolls.

But we're already full of homegrown white nationalists. We don't need to import more.

Trump could soon make America’s refugee program a tool for white nationalism The White House is considering a plan to overhaul refugee admissions in favor of right-wing whites.

After bringing white South Africans to the United States as refugees earlier this year, the Trump administration has now granted protection to members of far-right European parties.

This plan, which recently became official, makes the country's refugee program into a tool for white nationalism.

On the eve of his second election β€” on October 31, 1936 β€” FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

He gave away the game. He knows they can ditch the filibuster anytime they want. It's not Democrats starving Americans; it's Republicans. It's not Dems causing outrageous healthcare costs; it's Republicans.

Dems, get out and say so.

Lawsuit Alleges 'Horrific And Inhumane' Conditions At Broadview ICE Facility The federal lawsuit says detained people are being denied water, food, medical care and hygiene: "They treated us like animals, or worse than animals, because no one treats their pets like that."

The allegations are bad. Bad bad.

The worst part IMHO is the guards celebrating the cruelty.

Ah yes, "We the Democrats" is definitely what a Republican official in a Republican administration meant when she said "your government is failing you...we have failed you"

Senator Anwar to live on $6.20 per day in solidarity with Conencticut residents set to lose SNAP. No elected official should ever look away from the pain of a mother choosing between food and medicine, or a senior deciding whether to skip a meal to keep the lights on. This is the daily reality for too many of our neighbors - and it's about to get much worse if this lifeline is severed.

Kristi Noem is flat-out lying when she claims no U.S. citizen has been arrested in her violent crackdown. Do a web search on β€œimmigration citizen arrested” and you’ll see. Here’s one of the many documented reports we found.

And with it, likely a lot more unexplained "disappearances" of people, and a lot more murders by these armed contractors because they'll operate without oversight or consequence.

Remember during oral argument on the presidential immunity case when conservative justices scoffed at and mocked the hypothetical that a president with immunity could just start killing whoever he wanted and there was nothing that could be done if he has immunity?

Notable that the people carrying Trumpism don't act like they believe they're carrying out the will of the public, they act like dictators terrified of a spontaneous uprising so swift and massive it overwhelms their protective services before assistance can arrive.

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

quotes by Musk and Hannah Arendt

β€œIn my work with the (Nuremberg Trial) defendants, I was searching for the nature of evil, and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy... a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

- Captain G.M. Gilbert, US Army

Breaking character: This is a good thread. One my fixations is that Dems blow money on ads rather than building political infrastructure. My theory is they do this because the data tells them too just like the data told Robert McNamara to destroy Ford by cutting R&D to the bone.

SCOOP: Trump Swaps Decorated Admiral With 33-Year-Old DOGEr The highly unorthodox personnel change affects a critical government research role.

SCOOP: The decorated rear admiral who was heading the critically important Office of Naval Research, and who brought lengthy experience in Navy tech-leadership to the job, "is being replaced by a 33-year-old former DOGE employee with no apparent naval experience."
