BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Must Artists Help Turn the Tide? A Saturday Prompt

“We ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism, and let freedom ring," Springsteen said.

I hope it inspires other artists to use their voices in this urgent time.

People need to listen to what AOC has to say instead of media noise about her. She has done impressive work.

Who signs it into law? Will the congress override Trump?

I agree, it sounds sketchy.

The Seattle Times "There's nothing you need to do - we've deducted the funds from LEONARD A. JOHNSON's account." Uh oh. It itemized how $5,201 had been stricken from their bank account, on the grounds that Ned wasn't justified to get those benefits - because he was dead. That was for payments he'd received in December and January. Ned found that his February Social Security check hadn't been paid, and he's yet to receive his March check, either. His Medicare insurance had been canceled. He also learned that when you die, your credit score gets marked as "deceased, do not issue credit," which makes it tough to get a loan.

DOGE/SSA marked this person dead and *removed his savings from his bank account,* cancelled his social security and Medicare. #seattle https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/heres-a-dead-person-on-social-security-in-seattle-with-plenty-to-say/

Sounds like a Pelosi idea.

My father died from pancreatic cancer 12 years ago. I would have loved to have him still here.

Musk’s security team is now deputized and carry guns on federal property (reported by Rachel Maddow). Hmmmm.

I would bet he’s on Ozempic.

Likely!

I saw the end of his speech on DWTV. Not many were clapping.

Who will advise the airlines of weather patterns?

But he likes his mug shot!

I totally agree.

Many of us techies are assuming what might be happening. Their process might be no process at all.

Are you assuming these guys are following good engineering practice?

So does that mean every code change is tracked in the system? Or is it only tracked if coder enters the change? Or does the version control system require tracking at check-in?

Isn't it true that if you're in civilian clothes, you put your hand over your heart and not a military salute...to the flag?

What does he want cashiers to use as one cent? Candies?

Likely!

A Ukrainian friend of mine said: “Oligarchs see the people like the shit they grow their money in.”

I don’t know if he’s planning on running in 2028 but Pritzker is doing a good job of showing leadership.

Per Maddow — Musk likely had the FAA director fired because the FAA grounded SpaceX when his rocket blew up. It rained debris, putting people in danger and causing flights to be redirected. They tried to hold him accountable. He bought Trump, Trump complies. We’re all less safe because of it.
