Congratulations on replacing a complex multi-modal system (The USG) with a non-functional minimum viable product (whatever Musk is doing) You’re really proving to the Agile Value-Stream to be a winner… 🤮 Wait did I do that right? Government is a business, right? I’m confused.

NEW: Judge Chutkan denies plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order against Elon Musk and DOGE under the appointments clause (but this doesn't mean she won't grant a preliminary injunction soon). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Most recommended preventive medicine that we take for granted - like screening for pregnancy complications, how to screen for cancer, and managing blood pressure so you don’t have a stroke and live longer & with higher quality of life - come from NIH-funded research

ProPublica seems to operate off the same mantra as should all publications, research firms, and intelligence companies. “There are people doing this. They have names and faces. You should know all of their faces.”

Americans have been so pre-sold on the idea of “it was up to ONE MAN…” dramatic music that they fail to comprehend the idea of multi-modal action. I’ve found the example to be very true in most cinematic experiences. The main character needs plot to drive along action leading to awakening…

Can we please stop talking about eggs?? For fuck's sake the current administration is resegregating the military & fed agencies while states do it to schools and working to enslave, murder or starve low-income, indigenous, LGBTQIA and disabled populations. FUCK THE EGGS

yeah the secret to AOC's vastly outsized influence isn't some special brilliance at finding the right message. she often does but sometimes she kinda whiffs, and it's fine. it's that she is constantly, CONSTANTLY out there, giving her real views, engaging, responding. you know, doing politics.

China's Salt Typhoon hackers are still breaching telecom networks worldwide, including two in the US in Dec-Jan, says Recorded Future. Lately they're exploiting Cisco devices with unpatched 2023 bugs and seem undeterred by high profile exposure and sanctions. www.wired.com/story/chinas...

Ukraine is our problem (Europe’s). A big ocean sits between the US and Europe, I have been screaming this for years. The fall of Ukraine moves the frontline closer to us in Europe. I'm tired of hearing for calls to do this EU Army or that, BUILD WEAPONS, SPEND MONEY. Nothing else matters.

If the pope wanted to make a statement of faith, he would deny any politician the sacrament who signs his name to one of these orders. If he wanted to make a powerful statement he would excommunicate them. Canon 915 and 916 both support denial of sacrament. Pass it on.

One reason the press is being very cautious about talking about a constitutional crisis is that the top Democrats in the country are talking about high grocery prices. Try to imagine it from their perspective: how do they report on a "crisis" that even the opposition doesn't seem to acknowledge?

I really don't understand the ambiguity here. Trump deputized the richest man on the planet to unilaterally cut off congressionally-funded and congressionally-authorized agencies. A power which neither of them can wield legitimately. That was the beginning of the constitutional crisis right there.

The goddamn irony of sitting in a meeting about SOC2 hardening to protect data for testing while simultaneously reading about classified government records being raided by unvetted children is not lost on me.

I’ve taken the last several days to bury myself in the un-reality of Twin Peaks. I wish I could spend longer ignoring reality. It’s been a very nice mental vacation.

Joan is absolutely correct here this whole thread is Extremely important and lays out exactly how this is functioning both as an attack against democracy as well as networked form of authoritarianism.

This week, OCCRP was the target of a disinformation campaign alleging that a 2019 story on Rudy Giuliani was an attempt to meddle in U.S. politics. This is untrue, and it's not how OCCRP operates. Read our statement: www.occrp.org/en/announcem...

The ultimate problem is by the time the adults take charge of all the critical systems again there will be so much damage and distrust that any administration will be useless for their entire duration until everything is rebuilt from scratch. So fun to watch hundreds of years of work be destroyed 😓
