1 Just passed through security at La Guardia. ICE entirely doing security! 100% of ID and identity checks done by ICE…Truly icky and dystopian. Some thoughts.

The new National Security Strategy of the U.S. contains some pretty explicit white nationalism:

“We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of
Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.”

Yep.

Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.”

Beginning March 31, people will no longer be able to verify their identity with the SSA over the phone. Those unable to verify their identity through the agency’s “my Social Security” online service will be required to visit a field office in person to complete the process.

This is a national security issue. It's not that the two men sound exactly alike and have the same opinions and mannerisms—or even that the fake identity often slips and admits to being Elon—it's that Elon's a DoD contractor who abuses drugs, has a fake identity and secretly communicates with Putin.

So immediately after DOGE gains access to all our Social Security info, someone committed identity fraud by filling out a FEMA assistance application using my name, old address & Social Security number. I’ve never been the target of identity theft before. Coincidence? www.npr.org/2025/03/11/n...

This is identity theft.
We are all owed identity theft protection services, and a new social security number to reduce the extent of the compromise.

They are designing failure into the system.

47 Social Security offices are listed for closure.
