How Musk and Trump Are Working to Consolidate Government Data About You (Gift Article) Databases that Elon Musk’s team is trying to access include more than 300 personal details about members of the U.S. public.

Worth reading.
And....not surprisingly...worth being alarmed about.

After accounting for the two comments below, aliens scoring 8 points and higher are validated as members of TDA; you should proceed with issuing Form AEA-21B, titled, “Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal under the Alien Enemies Act.” Aliens scoring 6 or 7 points may be validated as members of TDA; you should consult with a supervisor and OPLA, reviewing the totality of the facts, before making that determination; if you determine an alien should not be validated at this time as a member of TDA, when available, you should initiate removal proceedings under the INA. Alien scoring 5 points or less should not be validated at this time as member of TDA; when available, you should initiate removal proceedings under the INA.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

Cacerolazo - Wikipedia

@georgetakei.bsky.social Please help me amplify this.
It is time for a Cacerolazo! What's that? It's where everyone goes outside at the same time (Like 8pm) and beats on a pot.

Where the fuck is Roger Stone? WTF is he up to? After his role in the sedition plot, with the PBs out of jail, it makes me wonder.

@sonsofliberty.bsky.social @cliffcashcomedy.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com
Anyone remember the velvet revolution?

What if everyone stepped outside daily, like 7 or 8 PM and bang a pot with a wooden spoon?

Can we get this rolling? could you imagine what a city would sound like?

Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥

“If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

“Officials liked what the man in the van set out to do - give all the children delicious candy - but have been frustrated by his reckless abduction approach”

Is this the kind of book used for the #inauguration today? Don't use so called faith as justification of laws to harm others, it's not very neighborly of you.

#art by me, 2024

ICE agents were turned away from a Chicago school earlier today. This idea came to me when it was stated that schools and churches would no longer be “off limits”. Schools should be places of education and enrichment not places to create trauma for the next generation.

@lindsays-art.bsky.social Hey kiddo

I thought it was punch me in the face and I'll kick your nuts

Hey Yinz, What happened to Roger Stone? He was the liason to the Proud Boya on Jan 6. He's worth keeping an eye on.

Off subject, but who would have standing to sue Elon over the election?

To understand the moment we are in as a country, this is incredibly important to take in:

I kind of trust the Germans to know a Hitlergruß when they see one

Hoooleeee COW! I'm ROFL at the layers of dark humor.

A tweet depicting a person with a red Canadian flag, standing on a mountain ridge, erroneously labeled as Canada by Donald Trump. The image shows the Matterhorn, which is actually located in Switzerland.

Four years of this shit.

Oh, C'mon Mr Takei, Everyone knows that the best Secretaries of Defense suffer DT halucinations.

Plant some mole holes?
Nobody's fault, it will probably take a seismic event.

This is your daily reminder that this really did happen.
