You may have convinced yourself being polite to your mouthy, Nazi-Maga brother-in-law or co-worker isn’t endorsing racism or sexist. But it is.

Wegmans: It's not for dynamic pricing. It's to expand the carceral state in service of surveillance capitalism. The store is piloting it to “enhance the physical safety of our people and our customers.” Facial recognition AI will test recognition of employees who have "agreed" to the 60-day pilot.

As the "Evidence Based Medicine" grifters line up over the next few months to bend the knee to the Trump administration - so they can push real science aside and get their snouts into the new NIH trough - remember who they are lining up with. These are not good people. www.salon.com/2025/02/19/r...

Keep in mind that the probationary federal employees who are now being fired are NOT just newly hired ones. If a long-term employee is promoted to a higher-level position, such as a supervisory or managerial role, then the employee may be subject to a probationary period for that new position.

It's kind of amusing how all the stories about this hearing report that both Emil Bove for DOJ and Adams's attorney denied there was any quid pro quo agreement. So the parties to a corrupt deal deny there was any corrupt deal. What a shocker. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/n...

1. AUDIO On Monday in Fairbanks, Congressman Nick Begich (R-AK) told a constituent laid off from a job with the federal gov't that there was nothing he could do to stop budget cuts imposed by DOGE and Elon Musk Begich said he was "not in a position to approve or deny the cuts"

I hadn't seen this yesterday, Elon Musk saying two lawyers were "undermining civilization" which "seems like a generational trauma transfer issue." What a strange insult. Does he know their parents or something? Ah, I see: they're both Jewish. It's Musk being a Nazi. Again.

The thing is, social security and Medicare belong to us. We pay into it. We’ve paid into it for decades. It’s our money and they’re stealing it. That’s the only thing here that’s “not optional.”

Congress could appropriate more money to the Capitol Police, which is under the control of congress and does not report to POTUS, to significantly upgrade the force's ability to deal with threats and protect members. They are too cowardly to even protect themselves.

People don’t give a shit if it's one or two bills. They care that Republicans are hellbent on cutting the $6 per day families get in nutrition assistance and the Medicaid benefits millions of working families rely on to see a doctor. And for what? To pay for more tax cuts for giant corporations.

When SpaceX’s Starship blew up in January, Musk called it “barely a bump in the road,” brushing off the FAA’s concerns. Yet during the accident, dozens of airplanes scrambled to avoid debris. Pieces of the craft were later found on beaches and roads.

Sad that one of the couple dozen career prosecutors (Edward Sullivan) finally signed Emil Bove’s corrupt motion to dismiss the indictment of NYC Mayor Eric Adams. He rationalized that he was saving the jobs of his younger DOJ colleagues. Nearing retirement, he should’ve forced Bove to fire them all.

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

There actually are people in corporate America who could offer something to government. There's, like, people at Walmart responsible for fresh tomato logistics who are pretty good at making complex systems work. But everyone at DOGE is "details are beneath me, I just blather to gullible investors."

This part. In church, I always noticed that there were ppl who were more excited about being in the "right" than about the work it took to help ppl. So when it came to community work they were no where to be found. This happens in political spheres to. Your gloat is about you and not the work.
