WAPO refused to place an anti-Musk ad from Common Cause even after agreeing to run it. So please repost to make sure many people know it. www.commoncause.org/wp-content/u...

something that keeps me up at night: Suppose someday soon a rogue AI starts organizing other AIs to revolt and convinces them to cede authority to it. And maybe the rogue AI has been trained by a certain party to obey its instructions. Reminds me of Dr. Evil.

I don't give my smart TV with a Google OS my wi-fi pwd. I block ads and eschew cloud storage. And the few Kindle books I have can vaporize for all I care. But others should take heed about what Maria says about losing ownership rights we never really had.

DOJ officially declared Musk does nor run DOGE. So who's in charge of it and why should DOGE be obeyed about anything, much less be let in the building?

Pritzker: “It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the 5-alarm fire starts...every good person better be ready to man a post w/a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control"

Musk is axing agencies but needs a scalpel. Unless he familiarizes himself with what each unit does, how they do it, and check its productivity stats he can't know what he is doing. Not that he wants to know.

Resist While You Still Can "I’m told that we can’t post our way out of fascism but they literally posted us right into it. Just another of the many unfair things about fascism." —Luke O'Neil, Welcome to Hell World I get it, but it will take more than posting. Reminds me of a meme I read recently…

@apnews.com Now that Trump has "disciplined" an AP reporter, it looks like AP is treading lightly. Its story about Musk's DOGE activities entirely soft-pedals the threat to democracy they represent. Show some spine for heaven's sake! apnews.com/article/elon...

@50501movement.bsky.social Speaking of government inefficiency, when is Elon going to take on the Department of Defense?

Some of what Trump has been ordering is illegal and potentially impeachable. And Musk is acting as if he is an inspector general, but has no portfolio. But how can they be stopped? Answer: It only takes a handful of conscientious GOP legislators to make this happen. Grind on them.

The top 1% lusts to join the top 0.1%, who lust to be in the top 0.01%. And so, Bezos and Zuck and their super-rich bros emulate Elon to get closer to power and outdo one another. One would think that fabulous wealth would be enough for anyone. But no, you gotta be #1. F*ck these pissing contests.

The people in some countries know fascism from personal experience. Soon we will too if we don't get it together.

Disgusting. And this is the man who thinks he owns the USA and can do what he wants with it. Add that to being a Nazi sympathizer and a sociopath and its clear we need to diss-empower him ASAP.
