I helped build DHS.
In the wake of what we’ve seen, we need to detonate & rebuild it.
Police state or not, it’s broken.

I helped build DHS. Now we need to detonate it.
The Department of Homeland Security has been weaponized against the people, the damage has been done, and it's time to go back to the drawing board.

Trump told ICE agents they could use “whatever means necessary” in their crackdown. He effectively gave them a license to kill. This is on him.

Let me foot stomp this: TRUMP CANNOT SEIZE BALLOT BOXES.
No matter what he says about his “power” to meddle in elections.
But if he wants to be prosecuted for a slew of state crimes, maybe he should follow his dreams — and go for it.

NYT: Trump regrets that he didn’t ‘seize’ ballot boxes after losing the 2020 election.
Here’s the thing: I co-wrote the executive order that he says gives him that “power.” And he’s lying. It doesn’t.
If he tries this again, I look forward to testifying against him in court.

Despite differing backgrounds, I found a lot of my colleagues from the first Trump administration ended up with roughly the same view of the president:
He’s a terrible person. A wrinkly-suit slop tart, incapable of empathy or rational thought.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.
