"Noem isn’t doing homeland #security. I’m not sure she knows its meaning. Like habeas corpus, which she thinks is an Ecuadorian offshoot of MS-13. Instead of safety and security, Noem’s turned the agency into the rabid attack dog she wanted Cricket to be"

LA Times: L.A. Army veteran with Purple Heart self-deports to South Korea under threat of deportation
"...An Army veteran who grew up in Van Nuys and was awarded a Purple Heart self-deported to South Korea this week as he was threatened with being detained and deported by federal immigration forces.

The administration is trying to kill every program that pops up in a search for the word “climate.” In the process, the heart is being cut out of agencies that produce information that the state needs to manage its environmental threats. https://www.texasobserver.org/trump-texas-doge-cuts-disaster-aid/

New today: Despite warnings from advocates like me about the dire consequences, Congressional #Republicans have sought to dismantle core legal protections for detained immigrant #children fund strip searches of children as young as 12 years old by law enforcement officers, allow indefinite detention, and impose new barriers to children’s release. https://www.texasobserver.org/republicans-immigrant-children-budget-court/

«#Project2025 is a radical #US #conservative #agenda — but what if its ideas are coming to #Europe? This video dives into “#TheGreatReset,” a real #EU-focused plan backed by #Orbán allies. It aims to weaken #Brussels, kill #EUcourts, and put #power back in #national hands. We explore the origins, the goals, and why it’s more than just a theory. Watch till the end — this isn’t just #politics. It’s the future of #Europa» #eumadesimple #EUMS
In ihrem Essay zu Lessing betont Arendt die politische Relevanz der Freundschaft. Politisches Denken ist parteiisch, dabei jedoch nicht subjektiv oder relativistisch. Allein im Ideal der Freundschaft kann der politische Diskurs vollzogen werden. Das Verstehen-Wollen des Anderen ist die Grundlage von Politik. Die grundsätzliche Ablehnung des Anderen,wie es im totalitären Denken geschieht,ist damit der Tod von #Politik . #Faschismus ist nicht politikfähig.

Many of you may already be aware of the important thoughts shared by #FrankWilhoit in his March 2018 blog comment "There is No Such Thing as Liberalism".

It provides political framing I find useful. I propose using it as a test or "razor" (à la Occam) when evaluating political actions and legislation:
👉 Who does this action or law bind? Who does it protect? 👈
The best answer is the people who are bound are also protected. That would be a sign of that the action or law is a good one.
The worst answer is the people who are bound are not protected. This almost always means the action or law is a bad one.
As with all politics and compromise there are shades of grey, but this rule of thumb can help find the better action or law.

Bloodied Faces, Sobbing Children: #Immigration Officers Smash Car Windows to Speed Up Arrests
==
We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before #Trump took office.
#ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”
You can judge for yourself.

This story—the one where the Hill Country experiences devastating and unexpected flash #floods following an intense period of extended drought—is a familiar one for those of us who grew up in the area. https://www.texasobserver.org/hill-country-flood-family-home-fourth-of-july-2002/

So how does one become a political influencer anyway? I have a message I'd like to spread, so how do those Tate and Vaush guys do it? Did they just yell into the void until people started listening? Do I HAVE to hate women or want to be a horse? Do I need to just be born with money? Until I find answers I'm just gonna be a meme page to try and build up a following. Let me know da secrets tho
