I saw the HUD video. Sooo, just a few weeks after some illegitimate teens started coding some backdoors into government sites/dbs, we’re hearing that a govt system has been hacked? no one knew how to ‘stop it’? I’m sorry what? They pulled tv plugs and not server/switch plugs?

1. I did the work of an employee you fired. 2. I did the work of a 2nd employee you fired. 3. I did the work of a 3rd employee you fired. 4. I did the work of a 4th employee you fired. 5. I did the work of a 5th employee you fired.

They want us to be afraid. They want us to hesitate. They want us to fear their next move. Fuck that shit. We are just getting started fighting.

That’s the federal government’s digital security agency, CISA, telling its employees in so many words to report their activities to an email account outside the chain of command with no real information about who will receive and review their messages or how secure they’ll be.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Countries need to stop being cowards and ban Elon Musk’s disgusting Nazi website. Yes, right wing extremists in those countries will squeal about it. That’s better than continuing to tolerate a website that’s actively attempting to put those extremists in power globally.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

This is like saying parents saved money by not feeding their kids as much and skipping doctors’ appointments. People were actually using the services he’s killed off, among them veterans.

“Saved” is still doing a lot of work here. If I stop paying my mortgage and utilities I’m not sure you’d describe it as saving money.

For obvious reasons, the lesson—the internet wisdom—behind ‘don’t feed the trolls’ is applicable to random comment board participants but not the president of the United States. The president and his White House staff spending time fantasizing about a monarchy is not wise to ignore.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

If the administration moves forward with dismantling the Department of Education, students of all ages could face a more divided, unequal system that restricts opportunities instead of creating them. Read more here ⤵️

among the things wrong with this: -"since this event is organized as part of Black History Month" it was honoring his birthday, excuse the man for being born in February? - "colorblindness" means "if you're a person of color I don't wanna see shit by, about, or with you" - these are segregationists

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

“Age-appropriate medical and social interventions for those who experience gender dysphoria have been conclusively shown to markedly improve long-term psychosocial outcomes for gender-expansive people.”

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Trumps administration is firing thousands upon thousands of ppl and in the same traitorous breath claiming that there ‘will be so many jobs’. The unemployment rate is goin haywire, trust in govt is plummeting, Musk is robbin us in broad daylight, and Vance is throwin all our allies in the trash.

you are out of your gourd if you think inflation is the number one issue on people's mind. what is wrong with y'all????

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

In the three weeks Elon Musk has been in charge of unilaterally slashing government spending, the U.S. government has paid one of his companies, SpaceX, more than $43 million.

Trump is an America-Last President. More of an Elon-First President.

A lot of your have read declaration in USAID case from Marcus Doe, which described being evacuated from Kinshasa. Doc 24-2 here. www.courtlistener.com/docket/69619... A bunch of the other declarations are ALSO people who evacuated (including 24-4 a person w/3 under 10 kids who had to leave dog).

I was previously told by Republicans that the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was one of history’s greatest scandals. But the chaotic withdrawal of *all* USAID from the whole globe?! Crickets.

“I’m here today to directly and unambiguously express that stark strategic realities prevent the United States from being the primary guarantor of security in Europe.” US Secretary of Defence, February 12, 2025. Everything changed today.

I don't think it's obvious because of the overwhelming amount of chaos in the news, but this is the biggest shift in American foreign policy since 1945. This is a titanic shift, and I'm not sure anyone knows what the result is going to be.

This morning, President Trump and his crony Elon Musk illegally seized $80M in congressionally-appropriated FEMA funding from NYC bank accounts. Trump and Elon stole tens of millions of dollars straight from our bank accounts--this is highway robbery, and NY cannot take this lying down.

To put a finer point on it, the Trump administration is mass firing federal employees and telling them if they dispute their termination that they can take it up with a board that will (I just learned) lack a quorum to function as of March 1 when another of the current board member’s term expires.

New from USAID OIG: “Recent widespread staffing reductions across the Agency… have degraded USAID’s ability to distribute and safeguard taxpayer-funded humanitarian assistance” oig.usaid.gov/sites/defaul...

Anyone know where the disaster recovery/backup system is hosted? Good grief. An audit is needed to to diff any code changes these idiots got to write into these systems

The entire planet needs to galvanize against the Musk/Trump coup in the U.S. for one crucial reason: these madmen now have access to the planet’s largest store of nuclear weapons.

Elon Musk is trying to take over the USA so he can reinstate feudalism with billionaires as kings, in case that wasn’t already apparent. This sounds insane and is still in fact 110% accurate.

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

Trump is trying to force Ukraine to hold elections during an invasion, this not only endangers civilians which are primary targets for Russia but it’s likely part of a larger Trump \ Putin plot to sabotage Ukraine; force a so called “ceasefire.” It’s time for Europe to step in, remove US influence.

Based on what we’re hearing about the process, it sounds like any hacker or spy who wants access to a federal facility just needs to toss a cheap ill-fitting suit on a nearby teenager and have them show up claiming to be the new DoGE auditors.

She should be able to sue for wrongful termination and defamation of character by implying she was not qualified for the job. In fact, any one fired as a DEI hire should be able to sue for defamation. A competently run DEI program will only hire people qualified for the job.

At least three dozen Democrats plan to take over the Senate floor all night tonight, for 30 hours, to oppose Trump's budget office nominee, Russ Vought. “He’s the architect of the dismantling of our federal government,” said Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii). www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...
