The alarms should be ringing not just from the creation of this database, but also from the inevitable mistakes within it and secondary uses of it
Per @npr.org, the Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with the White House U.S. DOGE Service, has built a searchable national citizenship register with data from the Social Security Administration & immigration records— without public notice & comment.
Infrastructure for a police state.
The Trump administration is building a national citizenship data system
The Department of Homeland Security, with help from DOGE, has rolled out a tool that purports to be able to check the citizenship status of almost all Americans.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

"If you got arrested then you weren't protesting peacefully" is a lie. Stop spreading it.

People are getting shot in the head with “less lethal” munitions. Press.

You think “church clothes” are going to save people?! They need HELMETS.

Also, the respectability bullshit can stop any time now. It doesn’t matter what any of these people are wearing, doing, saying- they are RIGHT.

Back in 2018, MAGA street fighters in Portland started showing up at events wearing “Pinochet did nothing wrong” t-shirts with positive references to helicopter rides and I thought “wow, they’re really out there.” Now sitting members of Congress are going there.
It’s been quite a day for Mike Collins. After calling for the deportation of a US citizen colleague in the House, he then violated Twitter rules by posting this tweet below.

Some students went to the Indiana statehouse to discuss school shootings. A GOP state rep flashed his gun at them. Same rep has quoted Goebbels, posted racist stuff to social media, and said Uvalde was a hoax.

Oh, and he’s currently on probation for a DWI.

Trans people's medical care has suffered three deaths: To Nazism and eugenics in the 1930s, to homophobia and misogyny in the 1970s, and the one it's suffering right now under white Christian nationalism in the 2020s.
Backlash to transgender health care isn’t new − but the faulty science used to justify it has ch...
For as long as trans medicine has been around, so has its opposition. The tactics of prior waves of anti-trans policies are still in play today.

We are so desperately far from what looks anything like the rule of law now; it feels quaint and foolish to talk about it, like someone holding up a medieval shield as protection against a Howitzer.

Any system of morals that predisposes that hard work is inherently good for you and that things that make life easier are innately suspect is always going to be fundamentally prejudiced against the disabled.

An extremely wise friend once called Gamergate the Spanish Civil War of the modern fascist movement
Paul Pelosi's attacker said in court today he got into politics through Gamergate.

He would listen to right-wing podcasts for hours at a time, and developed a hitlist: Gavin Newsom, Tom Hanks, Hunter Biden, and a women's studies professor he learned about from Conceptual James.

one of the funnier book to screen transformations is frankenstein's monster being a silent, lurching creature when in the books he just cannot stop giving melodramatic monologues? he talks SO MUCH about like the ineffable human spirit & poetry and the movie monster is like "gruhhhhhhh"

Because I have already had to defend "adults" trick or treating today.

Here it is for everyone.

NO ONE can reliably tell age. What you may think is a 20 year old might be a tall 11 year old who got hit hard by puberty and just wants to trick or treat with her cousins.

Give everyone candy!
