NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

DHS sent a US-born immigration lawyer notice "of termination of parole"--the CBP One app program to facilitate lawful immigration that has been revoked, affecting 900,000 people--claiming that she needs to self-deport. They are absolutely out of control and operating with complete impunity.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).
