If anyone out there still thought DOGE was "volunteering," game's up. Taxpayers deserve to know how much $$$ the technofeudalists forced on DOL are being paid to steal sensitive data, fire federal workers and dismantle critical public services. This is huge - and disgusting.

This is Lola. She needs to be tucked in for bedtime, but has very tiny arms. So you can see why this is an emergency. 12/10

Sounds like a serious due process violation.

If you experience a problem w/ social security, go straight to the office of your congressional reps & senators. They should be ready to help partly because they work for you, but also because the Rs are cooperating w/ the Trump admin to actively damage social security (among other public services).

There's a way to audit a government agency that actually works. What DOGE is doing is... not that.

Lately I've been feeling bad about some of my personal security lapses, but I'm not "accidentally looping in journalists on foreign policy / military operations" bad.

Elephants are cool.

An accurate first hand accounting of last night’s Maloy-Kennedy town hall. Wherein, @dcharrison.bsky.social admits he did some booing.

Human Trafficking.

Without systematic commitment to accountability, tyranny is inevitable.

Haven't seen this reported anywhere but a judge overseeing Florida's attempt to age gate all social media pointed to the failure of D&D to make him worship Satan as a kid to suggest the state needs actual evidence, and not just vibes about a social media moral panic. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/11/j...

“By firing us, you’re going to cut down on how much revenue the country brings in,” said an axed IRS specialist who’d been brought in to audit complex tax returns filed by large corporations and wealthy individuals. “This was not about saving money.” By @andykroll.bsky.social

Best way to watch Severance is to just watch the odd numbered episodes and have a buddy watch just the even numbered ones and you're not allowed to talk to each other about them

Trumpcession moves fast y'all.

🤣😢

This on top of the data exfiltration ops Musk's staff has been doing. US national security is now so compromised that it would be a bigger surprise if we ever recover independent strength than if we don't. Thanks Trump voters.

Why are American taxpayers going to bail out scam artists losing money in the crypto markets? We are going to borrow more money to pump it into the crypto market to enrich scammers and leeches who produce nothing of value for humanity?

Is there a name for satire that hurts so more than it mirths?

Atlanta Fed forecasts a -2.8% GDP growth for this quarter. 4 weeks ago it was +3.9%. Trump owns this. bit.ly/3Ddsxim

A 21st century USA that is hostile to multi-racial democracy, newcomers from other places, and religious pluralism...and which uses state power to advance the interests of a handful of corrupt white plutocrats, will look a lot like how most Southern states operated from the 1870s into the 1960s.
