If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Obama compares ICE’s ‘rogue behavior’ in Minnesota to dictatorships | CNN Politics Former President Barack Obama said that the behavior of ICE agents in Minnesota over the past few months was “deeply concerning and dangerous.”

Former President Barack Obama criticized ICE agents’ conduct in Minnesota as dangerous, saying “the rogue behavior” is akin to what “we’ve seen in authoritarian countries” and “in dictatorships.”

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

you know what would drop the number of assaults of ICE agents to zero? abolishing ICE.

absurdistwords tweets: "Non-citizens don't deserve due process" "But citizens do?" "Yes. We have rights" "Says who?" "The gov't" "And if they say you aren't a citizen?" "Then I just prove it!" "How do you do that?" "I show my ID to the court" "What court? You don't have due process" "But I'm a citizen" "Not if you can't prove it" "But.... dammit... whoa"

This is perfect. Either we all have rights or none of us do.

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Pushback works, part gazillion:

"Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices."

Trump executive order on Smithsonian targets funding for programs with 'improper ideology' President Donald Trump has signed an executive order on the Smithsonian Institution that targets funding to programs that contain what he calls “divisive narratives” and “improper ideology.”

First Trump removes any reference of diversity from the present — now he’s trying to remove it from our history.

Let me be PERFECTLY clear— you cannot erase our past and you cannot stop us from fulfilling our future.

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.

There are few genuinely evil people in that administration, but Rubio is one of them. There is no boot he won’t lick, no humiliation he won’t endure, no ethical line he won’t cross if it means he gets an iota more power.

Calling bullets "freedom seeds" is cringe even by military standards.

oh is it bad when you put people out of work for political reasons

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.

From Around the Horn:

It is legal to criticize the president. It is legal to criticize the president's actions. It is legal to criticize the president's advisors. It is legal and patriotic and the blood of a healthy society to hold those in power accountable, and even to mock them. Remember it.

Individual Border Patrol agents knew they were doing this, and a supervisor signed off on it.

you know he's mad when he starts sounding like a third grader "your not even allowed to do that" there's no rules on the dodgeball court, donny

Just moments before the blowup with Mr. Rubio, Mr. Musk and the transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, went back and forth about the state of the Federal Aviation Administration's equipment for tracking airplanes and what kind of fix is needed. Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, jumped in to support Mr. Musk. Mr. Duffy said the young staff of DOGE was trying to lay off air traffic controllers. What am I supposed to do? Mr. Duffy said. I have multiple plane crashes to deal with now, and your people want me to fire air traffic controllers?

Mr. Musk told Mr. Duffy that his assertion was a "lie." Mr. Duffy insisted it was not; he had heard it from them directly. Mr. Musk, asking who had been fired, said: Give me their names. Tell me their names.

Mr. Duffy said there were not any names, because he had stopped them from being fired. At another point, Mr. Musk insisted that people hired under diversity, equity and inclusion programs were working in control towers. Mr. Duffy pushed back and Mr. Musk did not add details, but said during the longer back and forth that Mr. Duffy had his phone number and should call him if he had any issues to raise.

The exchange ended with Mr. Trump telling Mr. Duffy that he had to hire people from M.I.T. as air traffic controllers. These air traffic controllers need to be "geniuses," he said.

Oh my. Each graf worse than the one before
