LOL that incredibly tortured NYT article trying to claim that Trump wasn't actually talking about nuking San Diego and LA is right up there with the "Elon Musk's politics are a mysterious enigma nobody will ever be able to comprehend" thing

Agreed; the people running the SecMullinDHS account are presumably the same people running the main DHS account, which groyper-posts constantly. IIRC, DHS is still refusing to disclose who writes the posts (we can all guess why, given how these people are often bad at hiding internet pasts).

Also, for what it's worth, the Department of Homeland Security doesn't get a say about whether or not there is an amnesty. That's up to Congress, which, you know, Mullin should be aware of given that he used to be a U.S. Senator.

Meanwhile, over on X, the Secretary of Homeland Security is posting about "vandalizing the demographics of America," a phrase which is either a chilling suggestion of white nationalism from Mullin or just straight pablum which means nothing but sounds just fash enough to excite the faithful.

“Vandalize the demographics of America” is either a chilling phrase suggesting that Mullin is a white nationalist or an absurdly meaningless bit of pablum  which ignores 250 years of the constantly shifting demographics of a nation of immigrants.

Underneath is a picture of Mullin with a quote "How do you turn a country from democracy to socialism? You have to change the demographics."

I don’t think a 21X increase in the cost to get a tanker out of the Persian Gulf with lower total exports than before the war is an achievement. And I think it’s odd that so much of the press has been covering it as if we should see this as positive, with “Better Than You Think”-style “explainers.”

Pretty clear that the Trump admin's "Civil Rights" department is actively seeking to force schools to segregate further and deny more Black students.
The Department’s investigation found that post-SFFA, UCLA Law’s application includes personal statements and essay prompts, which are designed to elicit information about race. And UCLA Law’s admissions staff instructed prospective applicants how to reveal their race in these sections of the application—during race-based recruitment efforts, such as its annual “Diversity Admissions Open House”.

The Department’s analysis revealed that UCLA Law rejected white and Asian applicants who had the same LSAT scores as admitted black and Hispanic applicants. Plainly, lower-scoring white and Asian applicants would have been admitted by UCLA Law if they were black or Hispanic. Further, in 2024 and 2025 (combined), half of the admitted black applicants had LSAT scores that were at or below 90% of the admitted white applicants.

This segment is about DHS's claim that they have identified and arrested over 2,000 "terrorists," a claim laughable on its face. This is largely because the admin has reclassified multiple criminal gangs as "foreign terrorist organizations," and ICE's gang identification is notorious sloppy.
