The lying and the staggering incompetence around this is astounding. And dangerous.

DOJ Designates Posting Photos Of Balding Elon Musk As Domestic Terrorism
WASHINGTON—Warning that the charge carried a five-year mandatory minimum sentence, the U.S. Department of Justice declared Friday that the distribution of images featuring a balding Elon Musk constituted an act of domestic terrorism. “For the benefit of all Americans, anyone who posts or reposts photos from Mr. Musk’s PayPal days will be prosecuted for terrorism,” […]

This is in Tennessee. Some Rs were against it (some, at least), but it passed.
Hoping someone will sue, or whatever the procedure is. You can't make it illegal for duly elected representatives to vote against the president's policies. It's bedrock democracy.

Guys, this is not a drill.
Some still don't believe that in TN, it's now *illegal* to vote against TNGOP on matters of sanctuary.
You couldn't be more mistaken. It's a felony with up to 6 years in prison.

So to be clear - in Tennessee unidentified white men in hoodies can grab any immigrant that "looks" undocumented, and if officials even as much as vote to protect them it's a felony.
This is where we are now.

This sounds like a dystopian nightmare. Imagine receiving care from a nurse making less than a living wage, who doesn’t know anyone there, and often has to bring their own medical supplies from home when on assignment in a new hospital. This is what happens when you gig-ify our healthcare system
On-demand gig apps force nurses to bid against each other for shifts, driving down wages and putting patient care at risk.

Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”
