i mean here's the thing: the army (and even the NG) hate the domestic deployments for the most part - trying to turn them into a paramilitary occupying force on America itself was never going to be popular with the rank and file

From the Admin that purports to support free speech, this baseless “Operation” is only meant to chill free speech. There is no predication for the FBI to open this investigation. The DOJ IG must monitor this closely — it appears to violate Department guidelines.

Again, Elon Musk is -blitzed out of his mind -incapable of understanding why someone in full possession of their faculties would give their life for something bigger than themself.

"Spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else." "A lawyer at advertising conglomerate Interpublic Group fielded a phone call ... from a lawyer at X. The message was clear ... Get your clients to spend more on Elon Musk’s social-media platform, or else." A merger could be tanked. Gift!

HUD plays critical roles that FEMA can't fill during disaster recovery, including helping communities efficiently manage often-overwhelming influxes of federal funds after disasters.

84 percent! I'm speechless. What exactly are communities going to do? Is President Musk going to just declare that hurricanes don't exist this summer? It's everyone for themselves unless they personally appeal to the Dear Leader. How does a country operate like this? Answer: Not for long.

Some excellent info to be familar with, e.g., “Insurance costs are rising dramatically faster than mortgage payments. From 2013 to 2022, insurance as a percentage of mortgage payments more than doubled, rising from 7-8% to over 20% of mortgage costs.” firststreet.org/research-lib...

it's so darkly fascinating that America is simultaneously doing: - Hooverism-Trussism-Milleism as econ - Showa era factionalism - NatCon driven social policy - 90s Russia stealing of the state by DOGE - 80s LatAm hybrid regime shit with law

Reminder: much of the current rise of white supremacism can be attributed to a complete misrepresentation of Darwin's work by 19th century racist philosopher Herbert Spencer. Darwin's view, contrary to that of the racists, was that compassion is humanity's strongest evolutionary instinct.

Looks like the U.S. constitution was effectively repealed via exec order. Americans, how are you feeling?

This new EO is a doozy, clearly written to test the constitutionality of independent agencies at the SCt. It purports to effectively bring all independent agencies - including the Fed Election Cmsn and the Fed (in part) under presidential control. Irreconcilable w/existing law full stop. /1

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Trump has declared himself supreme leader less than a month after taking office. This feels like a pretty big turning point in American history.

I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA. The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.

There is a reason we have kept all this personal data about YOU compartmentalized, and run by extremely boring and fastidious bureaucrats who seek neither fame nor fortune. Because you are not going to enjoy the alternative.

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨 Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

I literally am in shock. 46 billion dollars! It’s clear Zuckerberg cares little about the actual product. This is precisely the same as President Musk’s Xitter, by the way. And absolute pile of garbage, a toilet overflowing with shit. Enshittification defined.

How many billions of dollars did this cost? Looks like the Office episode with Dwight Schrute in Second Life. And this barely looks any different from 4 years ago! Your omnipotent oligarchs, ladies and gentlemen!

A lot of people have gotten their understanding of authoritarian systems from dystopian YA novels instead of from actual history. This apparently includes the people trying to install an authoritarian regime in the United States.

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.
