Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.
Today’s strike: a $1.4M+ missile, launched by a sailor earning ~$60K, hit a $5k vessel. The target? A criminal gang the president brands as a terrorist organization — a label our own intelligence community does not support.
Please consider voting for Chica on @tsa’s Instagram story for no other reason then to make the DHS Secretary have to celebrate the same breed of dog she shot and killed.
Those are special agents. This is uniformed division.
Not uniformed division. Those are special agents.
Oh perfect, because if there’s one agency drowning in free time and resources, it’s the Secret Service. Protecting the President, VP, foreign heads of state, embassies, and running details wasn’t enough—so let’s tack on DC police duties too. Brilliant plan.
I’ve traveled with the President. There’s a whole team that stands up secure printers and sets up suites as offices, on secured floors. Using a hotel business center printer isn’t just sloppy—it’s malpractice by the advance and protocol teams.
DHS doesn’t do that in house.
ICE has new marked vehicles… and they’re sporting the same paint job as Trump’s personal jet. Subtle.
And if you actually understand Star Wars, you know Anakin’s story is about fear, unchecked power, and the slide into fascism, not a heroic arc to borrow for PR.
“We’ll deport a million people!” is political Mad Libs: pick a scary number, add a scary noun, and hope nobody asks how it works. It’s not immigration policy, it’s a math problem written by someone who’s never had to solve one.
The problem with Border Patrol’s Darth Vader video isn’t just the awkward pop culture flex, it’s the dangerous simplicity of the message.
Shit posting your way to own the libs.
As of June 1, nearly 25% of the people arrested by ICE in the interior and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD.
TLDR; DHS and Noem is lying
It’s giving Infrastructure week vibes
I worked at DHS. I’ve seen the job done with integrity. This? It’s cruelty as content — posted by the official DHS account. This administration is out of control, and it’s going to take years to undo the damage they’ve done to the mission, the agency, and the people we serve.
Working on it.
Kristi Noem taking credit for ending TSA’s shoe rule is like showing up at the ribbon-cutting and pretending you built the airport.
The Biden admin invested in the tech—CT scanners, body imaging, self-screening lanes—that made this possible. Noem just showed up for the photo op.
The additional $80,000 that Noem received from the dark money group in 2023 represented a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 salary as South Dakota governor.

Totally fair — shoutout to grocers everywhere for keeping us alive with berries and brie. My beef’s not with them, it’s with putting someone in charge of natsec who’d never even heard of CP3 a year ago. The last dude to have that job literally spent his career hunting bin Laden.
Take this with a grain of salt since I worked at DHS, but yeah—I&A had its public L’s, no doubt. But behind the scenes, it filled critical gaps no one else would. Killing it now, in this threat environment, isn’t bold. It’s reckless.
In the middle of a heightened threat environment with Iran, DHS is gutting its intelligence office by 75%—and put a 22-year-old ex-grocer with no natsec experience in charge of countering extremism. What could possibly go wrong?
The same political figures who once spread paranoid fantasies about “FEMA camps” are now using actual FEMA funds to build real detention camps — in a national preserve, without oversight, transparency, or basic infrastructure.
Even Richard Nixon backed away from developing this site after the first ever federal environmental impact report in 1969.
They stole land from the local government, built this facility on a flood plane, have no sewage plan and will likely dump it in the Everglades that feeds Miami’s 2.7M people. There’s a reason why no one has built anything on this land — it floods, a lot. Like seen here with a small summer storm.
These dismantled safeguards would’ve once flagged concerns over conditions, medical neglect, and abuse. Now, there’s no meaningful federal accountability, especially when these camps operate under a blanket and frankly b/s “state of emergency.”
Trump and Noem got rid of Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at DHS, which was supposed to investigate abuses in detention settings, has been gutted. The Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman — created by Congress as an independent watchdog — has been defunded and sidelined.
These morons are going to get people killed. They are asking for a detention standards waiver, that get this was established during Trump 1.0. Meaning, they don’t / can’t adhere to those standards. Half of all ICE deaths in custody this year have happened in Florida.
“Turning the Everglades into a taxpayer-funded detention camp for migrants is a grotesque mix of cruelty & political theater. You don’t solve immigration by disappearing ppl into tents guarded by gators.” @ajhoward121.bsky.social
