and is it good or bad that very few people seem to be aware of it and/or care

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

It's fucking tragic is what it is.

andreacannady.bsky.social•84 days ago

At least 2 million federal workers care very much and we're trying to figure out what to do, and how to arrest EM and his criminal crew.

andreacannady.bsky.social•84 days ago

There are many people who care. Not just civil servants. My senators are doing their best but they all need words of encouragement from their constituents, to keep up the fight.

kinnabeck.bsky.social•84 days ago

As someone who’s been a public servant my entire career, I say THANK YOU.

I care deeply.

rowyourbot.bsky.social•84 days ago

You are the only ones in the government who ever seem to care about anything.

islandofreil.bsky.social•84 days ago

💗 Thank you!

Americans are impressed that the Trumpers have transformed the nation from a democracy to a kleptocracy so quickly. “See! Trump’s a man of action! MAGA!”

ajmacready.bsky.social•84 days ago

and that the people who *are* freaking out about it cannot help but notice those who are unaware and /or do not care and um feel very insane?

jessmaralynn.bsky.social•84 days ago

I do feel very gaslit like it's all in my head and it's not that bad

basterdius.bsky.social•84 days ago

Political leaders haven't made it an issue. This is an existential threat and they should be leading protests and barging in the offices to stop this. Instead, senators took the weekend off.

notmine20172025.bsky.social•84 days ago

They just don’t care. I say we find good people to run in midterms and primary everyone who is up for reelection.

theguyversion.bsky.social•84 days ago

They do care. They wanted this to happen. It was part of the plan.

johnrage.bsky.social•84 days ago

So bad. The populace is disengaged and apathetic. They won’t know what’s happening for weeks. The media is complicit and won’t say anything. The few that are plugged in and aware are panicking, but everyone thinks we are overreacting. They have a hard on for Trump/Elon. They are blind.

thesauruswrecks.bsky.social•84 days ago

The media in this country truly shapes what Americans think.

If Americans don’t know or care about what Musk is doing with the Treasury it’s because the media they consume isn’t telling them they should be concerned.

koutavi.bsky.social•84 days ago

I care but what am I supposed to do besides call my senators that seem to just be complacent 😭 I’m terrified rn

popularrevoltmedia.bsky.social•84 days ago

This is the scariest part.
OH, brb in ten years. A new netflix show just came out.
😓

ambushbug74.bsky.social•84 days ago

It's absolutely horrible. All we're getting is lip service from politicians that "bad man doing bad", but nothing else. So disheartening how chicken they are.

frankbannister.bsky.social•84 days ago

Meanwhile I'm going to the grocery store for more frozen vegetables because food scarcity is coming

jeanpauldifranco.bsky.social•84 days ago

I feel like I’m losing my mind watching this happen in real time

theguyversion.bsky.social•84 days ago

Having a mental break as I'm watching my home quickly get turned into some version of nazi Germany and North Korea combined.

johnny-kay.bsky.social•84 days ago

I’m afraid a lot of the damage will already be done by the time we even make sense of what’s going on.

jennwa.bsky.social•84 days ago

I got Xiaohongshu after deleting TikTok and all meta apps, and have swapped Temu for Amazon (though we've reduced purchases to almost nothing). At this point, might as well spread out my data so maybe my own government will have less power to fuck over those I love.

geometer.bsky.social•84 days ago

This just widens your digital footprint, making you easy to track. You need a Linux machine you built yourself, an internet connection not from home, and TOR if you want any privacy whatsoever online

jennwa.bsky.social•84 days ago

That's the thing: There is no privacy online. I have accepted that everything I do and have done online has been or will be sold. The only remaining question is who I want to own it.

hellomyfriend67.bsky.social•84 days ago

Its the biggest databreach in US history.

ghostyspook.bsky.social•84 days ago

I feel like there is so much shit going down and federal employees seem to be the only ones even aware of how wrong it all is

trish-on-mars.bsky.social•84 days ago

Where is the outrage? It’s like nobody cares

darksidestraxus.bsky.social•84 days ago

The politicians who are aware of how bad this is don’t care. Meanwhile, their supporters are too busy trying to put the blame on women and marginalized groups, because they don’t want to come to terms with the fact that The Dems are fucking useless.

dustinheron.bsky.social•84 days ago

It's like eating a badness sandwich.

thatsosuz.bsky.social•84 days ago

I hear @foxnews is trying to spin this as “eradication of freeloaders” and they’re lapping it up.
March is going to be a cold one for the majority of that base.

hoptimusprime.bsky.social•84 days ago

*glances at the NYT, which is soft pedaling his actions right now *

astraltraveler.bsky.social•84 days ago

It seems the news people are too busy reporting on plane crashes to illuminate on Leon's latest FU to the masses.

linseyis.bsky.social•83 days ago

Please call and report that your personal info is being stolen from the federal government by non authorized civilians. Call TONIGHT. It’s important we make noise about this. Our congress won’t do shit.

meemaw8992.bsky.social•84 days ago

Wasn’t there a woman in recent history that was investigated and re investigated over using a private server with classified information on it. Hmmm the name slips my brain. Of wait. Hillary Clinton. Now look what we have and nobody is up in arms. Business as usual.

becksr.bsky.social•84 days ago

But her emails…..

greggjlevine.bsky.social•84 days ago

And is it good or bad that the folks those people elected to keep a closet eye on all this negotiated an early gavel and left DC for a long weekend while all this was already starting to happen?

And is it good or bad that those same electeds are posting that they are calling for “investigations?”

saidydoll.bsky.social•84 days ago

they’re hiding it

theguyversion.bsky.social•84 days ago

Yea I sure would've liked to have known if my information was stolen and uploaded to grok

crs1.bsky.social•84 days ago

Bad

bluemama.bsky.social•84 days ago

People are numb and unaware. Also, try saying out loud to above people what’s going on and you sound like a crazy loon.
This is why Elon nerfed Twitter- too centralized and widespread for communication, which is now fractured.

barbstc.bsky.social•84 days ago

Not okay. I question the legality of this move. Congress are you listening?

sandymaxey.bsky.social•84 days ago

The general obliviousness to this nightmare is surreal.

megan-sass.bsky.social•84 days ago

Seems super bad but maybe I’m overreacting!!!

erincook18.bsky.social•84 days ago

The horrible part is, we sound like we're hallucinating our reality by sharing this information with those who are not awake. 🤦🏼‍♀️

sh60sue.bsky.social•84 days ago

We have to get loud now. No time to waste!

diffusedwavelength.bsky.social•84 days ago

Normalize including Marc andreessen and Peter thiel in the mix of oligarchs who want to kill government

Do you Qanon much? Girl, get out of your house and take a walk. Fresh air is good for your health both physical and mental

bwreed.bsky.social•84 days ago

People will care once he tanks the economy. This is lunacy.

ac-californian.bsky.social•84 days ago

I know it’s a rhetorical question. Worth answering anyway: very bad!
Let’s all spread the word.

nowens.bsky.social•84 days ago

This should be the topic of every Sunday new show but I doubt it will be. Everyday people certainly have no idea what's happening.

bonny-portland.bsky.social•84 days ago

But, Tik Tok! Jk

kinnabeck.bsky.social•84 days ago

It’s bad. I have only been able to catnap a few hours at a time since last Thurs., Jan 30th. And that’s w/script sleep meds.

raven-darkstar.bsky.social•84 days ago

Call me crazy but I believe that they are trying they a stranglehold on every facet of govt to keep the country hostage. If there are future elections, they will just be for show.
"Oh, that could never happen."
Well, we're gonna find out.
Are groceries less expensive yet!?

Do we KNOW that he is... or are we speculating?

mtnmystic.bsky.social•83 days ago

Get on your phones! Call your Representatives and Senators, your state’s Attorney General, and your local news stations and RAISE HELL! Ask why they’re not acting NOW to stop Elon Musk! We’re being robbed by an unelected, unappointed oligarch!

US Congressional Switchboard 202-224-3121. Do it NOW!

vincentahtch.bsky.social•84 days ago

I wonder if those that grew up with relative freedom will be the problem generation, but their children will be like other nations under a dictatorship and just see it as normal?
If it goes away, probably not coming back.

rowyourbot.bsky.social•84 days ago

We actually have a culture of freedom though. An extremely individualist culture. It causes us problems, even. But that isn’t something they can just change on a dime by wrecking the government. A lot of fuel behind Trump is Americans’ high expectations + tons of lies about everything that happens

vincentahtch.bsky.social•84 days ago

If ‘normal’ is what you’ve grown up with, and ‘normal’ is right because you’re used to it and can deal with it, this will be an interesting time. Things are happening that have never happened and I’ve always wondered how NA would deal with old world techniques. Firehose of falsehood for example.

vincentahtch.bsky.social•84 days ago

You have no idea how much I hope you’re right. Thought life would be near utopian by this age, but people seem to fight against it.
Hope you’re right and time will tell.

Health science is being suppressed, but what about space stuff like meteors? That would mess with Elon, no?

rowyourbot.bsky.social•84 days ago

I also thought we were going to solve most of the stupid pointless problems--because we CAN do that. We actually can meet people's needs now. Nobody has to starve or go without a home or be totally deprived of the basics. But it would cut into some asshole's profits. Or they think it would.

vincentahtch.bsky.social•84 days ago

Maybe we’re all completely different on this thought, but I’ve always enjoyed being around healthy, financially stable/successful people, who are friendly and chill.
I’d think everyone would like a culture like that. Since money is the power to get things accomplished, percentagewise how much is…

notmine20172025.bsky.social•84 days ago

Well, it’s not good! Where do our elected Dems find that he’s gone too far? When do they take a stand? They don’t seem to care.

acecoutura.bsky.social•84 days ago

The problem is that when you go on other “sanitized” platforms it’s all memes and other dumb shit. There is no easily accessible platform for regular ass people to be exposed to actual news.

TikTok was the closest but I’m sure that is no longer the case or won’t be very soon….

cyranokale.bsky.social•84 days ago

Is it good or bad that the New York Times and NPR seem to think it's unimportant?

ztopia.bsky.social•84 days ago

It’s directly below the “Tariff Theater” coverage on the front page of the NYT rn

garysnyder.bsky.social•84 days ago

We know. We care. This is not happening in the dark. This is being allowed to happen. We cannot lose focus of that all-important detail. Both parties knew, the nonpartisan government employees knew, Biden knew. After all, we are all surveilled constantly. Former presidents are on 24-hour watch/365.
