For those not familiar, here's the opening paragraph in the Wikipedia entry for the term "remigration," a term which popped up in Europe over a decade ago and until very recently has not been part of the U.S. political discourse. It is NOT a neutral term.

Gotta say, I struggle on some days to reconcile the fact that millions of Americans actually WANT to live in a country with viruses spreading freely, thousand of people getting kicked out of their jobs, billionaires feasting on the government & people being snatched off the street by secret police.

DHS has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to find leakers DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan have blamed lower-than-expected ICE arrest numbers on recent leaks about planned operations.

They want federal employees to suffer psychological abuse and not speak to press about it. It’s not difficult to imagine them coming after members of the media next. Scary shit, but silence is not an option.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Yeah it really is past time to just start saying what’s happening.

School Vouchers Were Supposed to Save Taxpayer Money. Instead They Blew a Massive Hole in Arizona’s Budget. Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, has spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it’s now facing hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state program...

The Arizona school voucher scheme has blown a massive hole in the state budget. In 2025, vouchers for private schools will be responsible for a $1.4 billion state budget deficit and for a funding loss of 300K per school in the state.

Vouchers are a scam.

Elon Musk’s Vision Is Coming Into Focus—And It Looks a Lot Like Neo-Apartheid Apartheid was, first and foremost, a business plan—one that the South African-born Musk seems to be reworking for the modern age.

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US.

Elon Musk re-shared a tweet containing Judge John McConnell Jr.’s daughter’s job and financial records on X after the judge ruled against DOGE.

I did, but nothing there made it clear whether this was connected to the Koch foundation in Kansas.

DOJ To Drop Charges Against Mayor Eric Adams The Department of Justice is poised to drop all charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams, Fox News reported on Monday. The move comes less than a month after Adams met with President Donald Trump. Ad...

BREAKING: DOJ To Drop Charges Against Mayor Eric Adams After Meeting With Trump. Adams made a deal with Trump about migrants so Trump drops charges. This is UNREAL. It's corruption of the worst order. www.mediaite.com/crime/breaki...

Resist, don’t cave.

Google Calendar has removed key cultural events from their site including:

Trump is making another 911 more likely.

His Gaza scheme is inflaming the Middle East. He’s gutting intelligence agencies, prioritizing loyalty over merit. FBI & CIA comms are in chaos.

Weak intel means they may not see the threats coming. And w/political retribution as the focus—we’re wide open.

Ugh, some of the worst prose I have tried to read in my life. But clearly, lots of folks find it engaging.

The homepage of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s website was updated Friday night to display a “Page not found” error message. This change occurred just one day after members of Musk’s team gained access to the bureau’s headquarters and computer systems.

Here at DOGE, We’ve Streamlined Every Aspect of America’s Collapse "Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency access to the federal payment system la...

"I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire."

Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?

Is that funded by the Kansas Koch brothers? Then it will not allow for anything but their twisted right wing propaganda. Stay far away, if it is their money.

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Instead, simply release the audit. It’s straightforward—everything in the government is documented. If the evidence exists, let America see it. Rather than turning the Super Bowl into a political spectacle, release the audit and let Americans decide.

Open message to Elon Musk:

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

We know what’s going on here.

Note to OPM staff: Personal items cannot be searched. If any attempt is made, demand legal representation. Personal devices you own are off-limits to these staffers. Also, do not leave personal items in the office overnight. Stay alert and cautious.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

Did I truly see it more than 40 years ago?! It was an amazing experience. We got there just as the exhibit opened so that we could have it all to ourselves (open to the miniature for winter!) for a good 15 minutes. It feels like it was last year, not nearly half a decade ago.
