“Illegally detaining and brutalizing a racial minority until they agree to flee the country” isn’t immigration enforcement, it’s ethnic cleansing. There’s no legal standard here - these people meet the standard! What differentiates them is not their legal status but their race and color.

If you were looking for a way to polarize Americans' views abt the military, undermine its influence internationally & drive out service members appalled by its civilian leadership's barbarity, this is certainly a good way to do that. www.defensenews.com/video/2026/1...

Today’s GOP has significantly narrowed its definition of its preferred kind of immigrant to one “defined not by people’s education, potential, or ties to the country, but simply by whether they are white and Christian,” @adamserwer.bsky.social argues.

Indeed, precisely because such conspiracy theories around autism exist and have become mainstream, there is a massive amount of real medical science made public to explain why autism diagnoses have increased over time since the 1990s. The report instead blames it on social media, it would seem.

The review is definitely at odds with the medical literature on why the number of autism diagnoses has risen since the 1990s. In rejecting the established reason for the increase in autism diagnoses this century, the government is cutting close to some very dangerous conspiracy theories.

The president is trying to incite pogroms. He promises to protect those who participate.

On Truth Social, @realDonaldTrump writes:
“The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back.
You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us! President
DONALD J. TRUMP”

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

September 13, 2026 at 12:28 PM (iPhone note)

1. Abortion Ban (Comstock Act).
- SCOTUS will outlaw shipment of mifepristone and abortion equipment.
States will sue to protect reproductive healthcare access and lose.
- SCOTUS will build on Dobbs, and hold (6-3) that federal law preempts state protections, establishing a de facto national ban on abortion meds.

2. Department of Education fully eliminated
- Rendering Title I/IDEA funds discretionary for states.
- Title IX (gender and LGBTQ+ discrimination; sexual assault) adjudication all eliminated.
- SCOTUS will permit states reallocate fed funds to private school vouchers.

3. Schedule F Civil Service Overhaul
- They'll convert tens of thousands of career civil servants into fireable political appointees, then fire them. Unions will sue over statutory civil service protections and due process, and lose.
- SCOTUS will promote "Unitary Executive Theory," holding the President has absolute firing power. Civil Service will be dismantled.

4. Obergefelll and "DEI"
- The federal government will eliminate all LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections and enforce the "traditional family" model.
- Challenges to state marriage bans will prompt extremist rulings re: the 14th Amendment. SCOTUS will ultimately overturn Obergefell, returning marriage "definitions" to the states.

5. Medicare Privatization & Medicaid Elimination
- They'll force Medicare Advantage beneficiaries into default. They'll block
Medicaid funds to providers who offer any reproductive care.
- States will challenge restrictions on patient provider choice and lose.
SCOTUS will uphold broad federal authority to restrict funds and accelerate of the privatization/cancellation of the "welfare state."
