WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

In conducting this hearing, the Court is not called upon to resolve factual disputes between
the parties. The facts set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order were proposed by the
Plaintiff, unobjected to by the Government, and then deemed admitted by the Court. Dkts. 74, 75,
77.2 These facts establish that high-ranking government officials, including then Secretary of DHS
Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, engaged in a coordinated public relations campaign to impugn the
personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans. For reasons unfathomable to this Court,
officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an
impeccable record of public service. In short, Ms. Comans was professionally targeted and
personally attacked by government officials for no legitimate reason. The attacks against Ms.
Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the
accusations were untrue at the time they were made. With no regard for the truth and with no
consideration for the personal and professional effect on Ms. Comans, government officials
exploited their access to mass media outlets to broadcast false information. These false
statements reached hundreds of millions of people. The purpose of this Order is, to the best of
this Court’s ability, to correct the public record and establish as a matter of law that the
statements made by these officials about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false.

Bijna precies tien jaar geleden interviewden Karen Geertsema en Heleen de Jonge van Ellemeet de winnaar van de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede, Navi Pillay, voor het tijdschrift voor immigratiejuristen A&MR

In uw Mandeville lezing bekritiseert u het Europese
vluchtelingenbeleid. Wat is uw belangrijkste
boodschap?
‘Juist nu grote aantallen mensen bescherming zoeken, moet
Europa zijn eigen standaarden toepassen en die niet verloo-
chenen. Het joint statement van de Global Migration Group
over “Human rights of migrants in an irregular situation” van
2010 was een belangrijk moment. Daarin uitten VN-organen en
andere organisaties niet alleen hun zorgen over de kwetsbare
positie van illegale migranten. Ze zeiden in feite ook: “wij
staan voor de mensenrechtelijke normen die in Europa zijn
ontwikkeld en die Europa naleeft.”
Europa heeft met zijn lange traditie van beschermen van
mensenrechten een voorbeeldfunctie. Wij riepen overheden
overal ter wereld op om naar die Europese standaard te streven.
Daarom is het alarmerend dat nu in Europa een aantal kern-
waarden met voeten worden getreden. Andere landen zien dat
Europa het opeens niet meer zo nauw neemt met de normen
die het zelf heeft bepaald.
Het is belangrijk om Europeanen eraan te herinneren waar
zij vandaan komen. Waarom verdiende de Europese Unie in
2012 de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede? Tegen deze achtergrond
en kijkend naar de miljoenen Syriërs die hun land hebben
moeten ontvluchten, van wie veruit de meesten nu in buur-
landen als Libanon bivakkeren, valt het moeilijk te begrijpen

Het is zeer teleurstellend dat sommige landen denken in
termen van quota. Op die manier kunnen zij niet voldoen
aan de verplichting die de kern vormt van het asielrecht,
het bieden van bescherming aan vluchtelingen. Ook de
EU-Turkije deal druist in tegen kernbepalingen van het
VN-Vluchtelingenverdrag. Je screent mensen om te beoordelen
of ze asiel en bescherming nodig hebben, niet om ze terug te
sturen. Dat moet een individuele beoordeling zijn, ongeacht
de aantallen. Daar komt nog bij de zeer gebrekkige toegang tot
recht, inclusief rechtshulp, voor asielzoekers die in het zuiden
van Europa aankomen.
Dit laat opnieuw zien dat rechtshulpverleners en NGO’s in
actie moeten komen om schendingen van mensenrechten aan
te kaarten. Dat zie ik als de belangrijkste taak voor het maat-
schappelijk middenveld: verzamel de feiten.”

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

way to go, you fucking morons. I hope you're happy with how things are going

Going beyond the necessary cost cutting, tech’s newly radicalized billionaires used this moment to wage class war and enforce discipline on what they saw as an unruly workforce. Gone were the days of coddling tech workers and viewing them as the industry’s most valuable assets. Instead, the progressivism and idealism that had come, in part, from the techno-utopianism of the 2000s and 2010s was now seen by Silicon Valley’s executives and investors as an explicit threat. And so, these billionaires set their sights on winning the culture war and dismantling the left-liberal foundations they believed had turned their own workers against them. To do so, and to avoid another bout of Biden-esque regulation, they threw in their support with Trump, laying the foundations of what would soon be known as the tech oligarchy—a power bloc uniting capital and politics under a shared project of restoring control.
