I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

NEW: TeleMessage, the Signal knockoff used by Mike Waltz and potentially other gov officials to archive group chats in plaintext, has suspended all services after it was hacked *at least twice.* @404media.co reported a hack last night; a different hacker also broke in and gave me evidence.
TeleMessage suspends services after hackers claim breach
The app was seemingly used by Mike Waltz in last week's cabinet meeting, according to a photograph published by Reuters.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.
Bike_pimp88 • 21h ago 10:48 ..• U.S. Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 04/11/2025 Notice of Termination of Parole it is time for you to leave the United States. You are currently here because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) paroled you into the United States for a limited period. Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5)(A) and 8 C.F.R. § 212.5(e), DHS is now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole. Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate 7 days from the date of this notice. If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States - unless you have otherwise obtained a lawful basis to remain here. Any benefits you receive in the United States connected with your parole - such as work authorization — will also terminate. You will be subject to potential criminal prosecution, civil fines, and penalties, and any other lawful options available to the federal government. DHS encourages you to leave immediately on your own. You can use the CBP Home mobile app on your phone to make arrangements for your departure. If you are departing the United States via land, you should report your departure once outside the United States via that same app. If you are having trouble reporting your departure via land, visit https://194.cbp.dhs.gov/home for more information about voluntarily reporting your departure. Again, DHS is terminating your parole. Do not attempt to remain in the United States - the federal government will find you. Please depart the United States immediately.

DOGE operative Marko Elez got the ability to alter US Treasury payment system code on Feb 1, WIRED's sources say.

For days, Trump officials fed members of Congress and the press a different story.

Elez is out now for posts reading "I was racist before it was cool" and "normalize Indian hate."

So it appears Apple has "agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its voice assistant Siri routinely recorded private conversations that were then shared with third parties and used for targeted ads."

But it was "unintentional," so don't worry about it...

KOSA passed the Senate today, which means we're a step closer to the government pressuring sites like this one to remove legal speech www.platformer.news/kosa-coppa-s...
To me it seems not at all unlikely that a future Republican administration would instruct a future FTC to crack down on videos explaining how transgender youth can seek medical care. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), one of the three Senators to vote against the bill, cited that risk as a reason for his position. KOSA could “be used as a tool for MAGA extremists to wage war on legal and essential information to teens,” Wyden said. Moreover, it’s not even clear extremists would have to declare war to get platforms to do their bidding. Should KOSA become law, platforms’ logical next step will be to actively suppress content that the law describes as harmful, for fear of being sued otherwise. This is not a theoretical possibility: fear of being accused of violating anti-terrorism laws has led Meta to suppress online speech in Arabic-speaking and Muslim communities, its Oversight Board found earlier this year.

Alito lied about the reason the flag was up because he didn’t know the couple had text messages establishing the date of when the incident took place. They were supporting the insurrection. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/u...
To better understand the clash, The Times interviewed Ms. Baden, her mother and her husband, as well as other neighbors, and reviewed the texts that Ms. Baden and her husband sent to friends after the episodes. Justice Alito, who did not respond to questions for this article, has in recent weeks given his own explanation of what happened. There are some differences: For instance, the justice told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden’s vulgar insult. A text message and the police call — corroborated by Fairfax County authorities — indicate, however, that the name-calling took place on Feb. 15, weeks after the inverted flag was taken down.
