My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.

I am writing about what is happening to federal personnel policy. One difficulty is that it's hard to observe and verify what is actually happening. I am particularly interested in information about the employment status of individuals working with/in DOGE. Anonymous tips welcome. Signal: Nbednar.46

Alright. This is enough with Elonia and the treasury. It is past time to wake up Congress and send a million e-mails and make phone calls a day. He and his sophomoric employees have access to YOUR Social Security numbers and IRS documents. WE DID NOT ELECT ELONIA MUSK OR HIS LITTLE IGORS.

Someone just said their social security was supposed to arrive today and hasn't. So people are already in grave danger. I hope that folks keep that top of mind. People's material needs are already being impacted.

FBI Agents Association bipartisan letter to House/Senate leadership asking for a de facto intervention to stop the DoJ/FBI purges. That has no chance of happening unless at least four GOP Senators are publicly a "no" on Kash Patel as FBI director. Not holding my breach for that one.

I you want to steal social security numbers: 1) You can send a fraudulent email pretending to be from a bank claiming the recipient needs to change their password, provide a link to a misnamed website, and prompt them to enter their SS number; or 2) Send some kids to take over Treasury computers.

A foreign-born private citizen with unfathomable wealth & deep financial ties to our nation’s adversaries has seized control of our government and is currently canceling congressionally apportioned spending without a shred of authority. And no one seems to be able to stop him. So this is fine.

I think we are all searching in vain for evidence that Donald Trump or Elon Musk are serving America rather than other interests. Their anger at USAID sounds like ventriloquism from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. It makes no sense whatsoever to anyone who actually loves this country and its values.

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends. For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history". Trump blinked and embarrassed himself plain and simple.

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but going to the gym to train is not resistance. Karate is not resistance. Organize in your community. Take care of people. Do the hard work of making sure people have what they need to survive. Do it through organizations that are already there.
