Hawaiian crows are extinct in the wild and are found nowhere else on Earth. Now, a small group, safeguarded in captivity, has been released in the forests of Maui.

this seems such a grotesque security breach. easily hacked, names of all federal employees, including almost certainly closely held identities, intelligence agents, high-value targets. you could phish or honeypot a subset; you could extrapolate priorities & weaknesses of the federal org structure

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

NEW: Elon Musk’s team has descended on an already understaffed Social Security Administration, which now faces further workforce cuts and closures of vital local offices. The consequences could be significant for millions of the most vulnerable Americans.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

ICE arrests South Texas bakery owners accused of hiring undocumented workers

I could see no compass before me to steer by

doing god's work against the inscrutable panopticon

today they cut off the government credit cards & other payment options for federal worker expenses, leaving people traveling etc having to pay out of pocket. to me this move is that, citing waste, Musk will move all expensing to X, the everything platform. all gov't communications likewise.

Lol

emerging microtrend: artists from fundamentalist religious families against all odds attending Julliard & then chaos ensues 1) ballerina farm 2) zachery hughes, a concert pianist on trial for murder right now who testified in his own defense as sort of a Q-anon vigilante defender of children

abolish the presidio! no more congestion pricing! only two sexes! it's kind of off with their heads energy

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

59 degrees in my apartment

saw jack posobiec on bannon's war room live cpac event yesterday. last week he went with pete hegseth (in what capacity is not clear. journalist? advisor?) to Ukraine & actually was in the room when Zellensky was essentially extorted for mineral rights in exchange for a seat at the table.

CNN is on it START THE DAY HERE Pentagon braces for drastic budget cuts. Trump escalates fight with Zelensky. Odds of asteroid hitting Earth keep shifting.

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

episode 4 season 1 of Borgen is about Greenland, Denmark, and the U.S. by way of post 9-11 extraordinary rendition flights. it's very good and prescient for right now. highly recommend. avail on netflix

Dallas ICE attorney is virulent racist. Texas Tribune watched as he tweeted braggadocio drech during a hearing. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Come ON

every day I feel like I'm being forced to watch men masturbate in public while some faceless greek chorus cheers them on

for a break I am watching a murder trial livestream (I know) & the defendant is testifying & it is american gothic meets Q-Anon avenger. the judge ruled pretrial that he can't outright accuse the victim of child abuse, so he is talking about how his adopted sister was also a sociopathic vampire

i think people are thinking the courts will be a backstop against trump/musk and its giving "mueller is coming 2" vibes

I've been re-watching Borgen & I'm on the episode where a whistleblower reveals the U.S. has been flying shackled detainees through Greenland for extraordinary rendition without telling Denmark. the U.S. tells the foreign minister it's "need to know, and you don't need to know."

The accelerationist belief that if things get bad enough, then things will start to get better is quite something to see in the wild. It’s wrong though. Historically, misery creates more misery and is visited on the most marginalized in ever intensifying cycles of horror.

are there enough loyalists after the purge to actually run a government? let's find out!

yeah. this is about "waste and fraud" the same way the cyberninjas were about "election integrity." the point was to gain access to election data & machines to dismantle our election system. same playbook: grand announcements of "anomalies" proving "ghost voters!" via misinterpreting spreadsheets
