Even lifelong conservatives are reaching the logical conclusion: #ICE must be destroyed, and in fact, #DHS itself was a horrible way to solve a problem that had better solutions. DHS should be disbanded. Sadly, writers are still using unnecessary and unhelpful qualifiers to soften their language.
Jen Rubin: "Taken as a whole, the DHS appears to have morphed into a brutal, lawless gang of street thugs reminiscent of dictatorial shock troops in other autocratic regimes. Run by an unqualified and publicity-seeking secretary, egged on by the infamously anti-immigrant scare-mongers Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, and designed to impress a racist president who ran on the fear immigrants were βpoisoning our blood,β DHS has become a disgrace, a human rights nightmare, and a legal scofflaw. It is hard to see how DHS could be repaired. Perhaps it is best to shut it down and start all over." https://contrarian.substack.com/p/dhs-is-a-menace

Spent 22 years of my working life in national security and it feels like all that time was just a waste. These motherfuckers have just torn everything to shreds in the blink of an eye. Fuck everything.
I think a lot of people don't realize that the machine has always run largely on trust. Sure you do as much as you can to verify, but trust in every person choosing to do the work is the cornerstone of what has held the U.S. together since the beginning. When they were laying out the structure and the rules they basically thought that there might be a bad apple here and there but the vast majority could be trusted to be basically good people all rowing in the same direction. Well, this is what it looks like when you get all the bad apples all rowing in the same direction. Total destruction.

Just found out the crackpot NIH director was on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast this week dishing out disinformation on mRNA vaccines so yeah. National security is firmly lodged in the shitter
Finished #scifi #audiobook Counterweight by Djuna. Uhhhh...interesting? Yeah, I'll leave it at that. Didn't love it, didn't hate it, but I was mildly interested in it.β

When taking video of yourself driving your Tesla onto a secure NSA facility while having an "unhinged" conversation with Grok, maybe don't get your face in the video. LOL, dumbfuck. https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1951718015218946556#m
At a minimum, besides proving to everyone he works with that he's a gross creep, he's violated the photography and video section of "Federal Rules and Regulations for Conduct on Federal Property. Violation of the Rules and Regulations can be a federal criminal offense punishable by incarceration up to 30 days and a $5,000.00 fine." π€‘
Or, just losing your job.

It's DEFCON time. I had to send this one to my grandspawn. Good on these students for their ingenuity. And concern for privacy!
