Normally an IT guy that enjoys tooling around with old computers - but we're not in normal conditions now. Combat disabled veteran married to an immigrant. Everything I know is threatened. Challenge accepted.

I am seldom at a loss for words, but the juxtaposition of Mike Lee mocking the murders and attempted murders of the Hortmans and the Hoffmans, then asking for prayers for Kristi Noem is breathtaking and defies description in any language.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

As Musk complains about people "burning down Tesla", he continues to try and burn down government agencies and employees who are helping people. Musk is endangering millions of lifes with his actions, and he worries about the damage to his crappy Matchbox cars made for adults.

3/20/25– Social Security & Veteran Benefits Cut-Starting March 31st, SSA ends phone identity verification, forcing seniors online or in person, as 47 field offices close. Meanwhile, veteran benefits are slashed. This isn’t about fraud-it’s about dismantling vital support🇺🇸

Police are investigating a report of fake ICE agents targeting a Ukrainian grocery store. An SUV with an “ICE” decal circled Sunday—then bolted when security showed up. These impostors are appearing nationwide,, preying on people already living in fear— in the shadows. It’s calculated and cruel.

Now a second Destroyer off the west coast of Mexico - The reason that the Trump regime is using Navy ships instead Coast Guard Cutters is that the Destroyers have Tomahawk missiles (and the further material I know about Tomahawk capabilities is classified, so I'm not revealing it on Bluesky).

military.comNavy Plans to Deploy Second Destroyer to Patrol Waters Off US and Mexico This WeekAn official, who was given anonymity to discuss military plans, told Military.com that a second destroyer will deploy from the West Coast, joining the USS Gravely.

HMMM: So the administration reveals in a new court filing (ordered by Judge Bates) that Amy Gleason was actually hired by HHS as an "expert/consultant" on March 4, just a few days after the White House identified her as the administrator of DOGE.

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

Get ready for a picture of Kristi "Puppy Killer" Noem decked out in a Navy uniform with medals she didn't earn on the bridge of this ship... Why a Navy Destroyer instead of a Coast Guard Cutter that would normally do these duties? Because a Destroyer has Tomahawk missiles to shoot into Mexico.

military.comNavy Destroyer Deploys Off US and Mexico as Part of Pentagon Border FocusThe Trump administration is taking the unusual step of deploying a Navy warship off the waters of the U.S. as part of its broader crackdown on security and migration along the Mexico border.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

Mahmoud Khalil is a legal, permanent U.S. resident and is granted protection under the First Amendment. He is currently being detained without being charged with a crime. The reason for his arrest was due to his political speech. This is a violation of the First Amendment.
