What they do within 100 miles of the Mexican border goes far beyond ICE raids, though - CBP set up checkpoints in the streets and demand proof of citizenship from every driver passing through, for instance. I haven’t read about that happening anywhere but within 100 miles of the Mexican border. So far.
Well, yes, in theory they’re all border regions wherein border agents have the same flexibility to do things they can’t do anywhere else, but in reality they treat the Mexican border region quite different from the theoretical border region that makes up most/all of coastal states. (Or Canadian border areas, even.) Again, so far.

I don’t believe these people. Like I suspect even the underlying sentiment is fake news and this woman doesn’t actually exist… but I also don’t think anyone who voted for this can pretend that “oops I was so racist that I easily believed a wildly fanciful obvious load of bullshit about rampant gangs from every South American country sending millions of people here to kill us all… But like, not so racist that I actually wanted to scrape my neighbors five year olds remains from my driveway.”
Nah linda you wanted this. You wanted us all to pay for this too.
This is your goddamned legacy.

Yeah, I’m in California, where the “border region” doesn’t cover the whole state, but the state population outside it is negligible. (And the same is true for the rest of the West coast.) Theoretically the “border region” also includes 100 miles around international airports, so every big urban area in the interior of the country gets included as well, making it more than 2/3 of the population. The idea that there’s this special region where rights are reduced, except the special region is basically… everywhere is not just absurd, it’s obviously absurd. (Which is why I think the federal government has never actually treated these border regions the way they treat the US-Mexico border area - because it would shove the absurdity in everyone’s faces.)

Well, they’ve been on trains…
…and targeted people driving cars…
…in addition to passengers on buses and in train stations, leading to this statement from Greyhound:
Sometimes, the news reports read like a competition between ICE and the CBP to see which one is arresting and detaining more people. 
To get more LEOs involved, they’ve been empowering state-level offices like sheriffs and requesting National Guard troops. Whatever may be different near the border with Mexico seems to be spreading everywhere else:

I don’t understand how Truth Social works, but I’m assuming Trump is re-whatevering some other lunatic who made that claim?
Awfully prescient of them to clone Biden way back in (checks Wikipedia) 1942, just to have the clones ready by 2020.

Why was Mr. Biden executed in 2020? Who did It?
Ok, I know It has something to do with Q, Operation Storm, secret tunnels and Tom Hanks.

One would assume his opponents, so is that an admission of guilt from the Republicans? But I forget, things don’t need to make any logical sense in conspiracy land. As long as it sounds like something that shouldn’t be happening (preferably involving sci-fi technology that doesn’t exist but everyone is for some reason going to pretend is totally established and normal), that’s good enough, I guess.
Maybe it’s a joke? I don’t think they realize that when they joke about stuff like this, well… “#Democrats don’t know the difference”. They already genuinely believe so many equally absurd things, why wouldn’t we assume they’re serious?
ETA: It just occurred to me, is “I cannot be found guilty because I feel no guilt for my crime” a sovereign citizen thing? That absolutely sounds like the sort of nonsense they’d try…

I’ve been wondering when we’ll hear more about what’s been done with all that stolen personal data.
Step 1: Trump’s Executive Order
In March 2025, Trump signed an executive order forcing all federal agencies to share their data with each other. That includes the IRS, Department of Health, Education, Homeland Security, and more.
This order gutted past privacy protections and handed control of America’s data to a newly empowered agency called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), staffed almost entirely by Trump loyalists.
Step 2: DOGE as the Control Center
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) acts as the hub:
- It determines which data gets shared, by whom, and for what purpose.
- Staffed with Trump loyalists and political appointees, it answers only to the executive branch.
- DOGE contracts directly with Palantir, essentially privatizing surveillance infrastructure.
They’ve also embedded Palantir tech into agencies like IRS, DHS, VA, and HHS under the justification of “improving operations.”
Step 3: Palantir Is the Glue
Palantir, co-founded by far-right billionaire Peter Thiel, makes software designed to pull data from all kinds of sources and link it together. Their main platforms, Foundry, Gotham, and Apollo, are now used across the federal government.
the rest
They’ve built systems for:
- The IRS - to access and analyze tax returns, Social Security numbers, and employment records.
- ICE - to track immigrants and visa overstays.
- HHS and the VA - to manage health records, hospital data, and even vaccine planning.
- The military and intelligence agencies - to run surveillance and battlefield analysis tools.
Together, these tools don’t just store data, they connect it across agencies and create a full picture of any person the government wants to analyze.
Step 4: Everything Is Being Tied Together
DOGE is using Palantir’s tools to link:
- Your tax data
- Your medical records
- Your immigration status
- Your student loans
- Your bank transactions
- And more, all into one system.
Before this order, that kind of data sharing was either illegal or tightly restricted. Now it’s happening in the open, with no congressional oversight and no transparency.
Yes, It Can Be Weaponized
Trump has already:
- Fired independent watchdogs
- Installed loyalists in key data-heavy roles
- Publicly threatened to use the IRS and DOJ against political opponents
While there’s no public proof of real-time “surveillance dossiers” on individuals just yet, the tools now exist to build them, and the safeguards to prevent it are gone.
This mirrors authoritarian data governance models, but with American tech and less oversight.
Palantir has taken over $908 million in contracts since Trump returned to office (follow the money). Every system they’ve built is expanding the administration’s reach into your personal life. This isn’t about efficiency, it’s about control.
You never consented to this. No one voted for it. And unless we push back, it will only grow stronger.

… Elon Musk lashed out when asked about a New York Times report alleging he was a frequent user of the drug ketamine during the 2024 campaign.
“The New York Times. Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on the Russiagate?” Musk asked…
Musk’s remarks came on the same day that the Times reported he used ketamine — which can be used both recreationally and medically — as often as once a day in 2024. Musk has told people he took ketamine so frequently that it affected his bladder, and he has also used ecstasy and magic mushrooms at times, the paper said, citing unnamed sources.

Which has since proven to be true? Your buddy T****’s campaign manager was convicted of perjury for lying about the coordination he had with Russian Intelligence. Russiagate was confirmed as true, dipshit.
