"Some humans (I think? Hard to tell) in masks and vests showed up this morning and took Manny and Kumal away. As you may have noticed, those two were the only staff—despite this place being open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m."

This morning, I signed on to Articles of Impeachment against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Secretary Noem & DHS employees have systemically violated the rights and privacy of Americans, terrorized our cities, and obstructed Congress.

We live in a world where the same people who believe a man built a boat big enough for every animal don't believe in climate science because it’s “unproven.”

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Left: Trump Jan. 6 site claiming “no weapons”found on Ashli Babbitt, killed while storming—her word—Capitol. Right: evidence photo of knife found on Babbitt by Capitol Police. And if you say, “that’s just a little blade,” try taking one on an airplane—or into the Capitol—and see how far you get.
