the things i want to say violate the terms of service here.
These are screenshots from an actual DHS press release that just went out offering "self-deportation" as a "gift" to "illegal aliens" this holiday season.

This administration is truly repugnant.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

I am a United States Marine, I will always be a Marine, loyal to the security of this country and the fair and just freedom guaranteed by our Constitution (yes I know it's still white centric and needs major revolution).

Share it around. Ditch the tech oligarchs and surveillance state. The more people who do so, the better off we all are. Even if it’s inconvenient at first. Protect yourself and others.

FYI: the EXAMPLE of what a war crime is in the DoD Law of War manual is EXACTLY what Hegseth did. bsky.app/profile/jjin...
⚖️ DoD Law of War Manual, page 1075:

"For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

Science discarded,
The art of critical thinking flayed,
While fools weave
Their insubstantial dreams,
Brittle as new ICE,
Ever eager to please
The orange waste on the throne,
That demands only the dullness
Of unremarkable subservience.

1. Over Thanksgiving, texts from Dem. Sen Ruben Gallego leaked where he repeats far-right talking points on masculinity, lamenting that Democratic women "look like men."

Using far-right gender-panic rhetoric will not ingratiate the Democratic Party towards men.

In October, statewide news reported that a sheriff's deputy in Texas searched thousands of Flock cameras in Washington for 'Had an abortion, search for female.’ New documents obtained by RANGE show Spokane County Sheriff's Office cameras were accessed in that search:

Potential new WA legislation around #ALPR data retention & access.

However, it feels like this might only end up further normalizing this form of mass surveillance and make cities more comfortable installing such infrastructure.

Just ban ALPRs entirely! 🚫
