I'll delete my 23+me I guess. But I am not really sure what the problem is. Any entity who wants all that data probably already has it. Law enforcement has been testing everyone they encounter for just as long.

If we are deporting all men who have extremist tattoos without hearings, this dude would be in El Salvador by now.

When someone is ‘deported’,
per US law,
they are first afforded
long-established legal due process.
Push TF back on that nomenclature.
What Trump did is kidnapping.
He grabbed people off the streets
who he didn’t
like
flew them to another country
without due process
and paid a foreign government
to disappear them.

Trump is offshoring murder.

If you rely on fed services such as social security, Medicare/Medicaid, airline safety, clean air & water, disaster response, search & rescue, or enjoy things like national parks, you *really* need to contact all of your congressional reps. These services are people dependent & in very real danger.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

No one cares that the Trump admin wanted to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. What matters is how many rational actors so easily bowed down and started calling it that too. It's the obedience that's most noticeable.

Feel so bad for up to 200,000 hard-working federal employees who got fired today for no reason. The largest layoff in history before now was 60,000 people. Think what this will do to the unemployment system, the working of government, and to all of those individuals and families.

I know the “imagine if a Democrat did this” is overplayed, but if a Democratic president had given George Soros access to government personnel details and Treasury payments I’m pretty sure we’d have a literal civil war.

A historic graphic of corruption. The 11 federal agencies so far targeted for firings or dismantling by Elon Musk have more than 30 ongoing investigations into his companies. (📸 Malika Khurana for NYT)
The graphic shows arrows going from 11 general agencies and institutions to Musk companies which include SpaceX, Tesla. neuralink, x, and Musk himself.

The text at the top reads:
Trump firings hit agencies with oversight of Musk's companies
Staffing changes, including the firing of several top officials, have affected agencies with federal investigations into or regulatory battles with Elon Musk's companies.
