DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

They’re ignoring the courts and using every sort of commonplace federal grant stream to ensure compliance from state and local governments. This is how dictatorships function

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Overturning Sullivan has at least two votes on the Supreme Court — Thomas and Alito. Maybe more. I can’t overstate how catastrophic that would be for free expression in America in an environment where political and performative defamation litigation are common.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Was thinking about the possibility of a new pandemic and no communication from any governmental organizations plus all the social media owned by techbros that fell in line and all I gotta say is THANK GOD FOR BLUESKY because it may actually be our best hope for actual information dissemination.

Let's be very clear that AOC isn't saying anything different than what Kamala Harris said repeatedly for 107 days. And yes, I know and appreciate that AOC supported and campaigned for VP, so spare me a lecture.

I have not downloaded Red Note or whatever it is because I demand that Chinese signals intelligence at least perform a basic search function for my information. Downloading their software makes it too easy. You gotta have standards.
