Videos included DOGE members unable or unwilling to define DEI; discussing how they used ChatGPT and terms such as “black” and “homosexual” to flag grants for termination but not “white” or “caucasian,” and acknowledgements they failed to achieve the stated goal of lowering the government deficit.

Why don’t Rs ever mention that the “Save America Act” would force states to submit their voter rolls to the DHS’s SSA-reliant “SAVE” voter purge system? Is it due to whistleblower reports alleging that DOGE—which helped connect “SAVE” to SSA’s data—compromised SSA’s databases? 1/

Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

Democrats were told not to be disrespectful to trump during the state of the union because the most important thing is to maintain decorum

It’s literally the biggest story in modern history on the literal subject he purports to cover. But he doesn’t actually care about it! He has no principles at all.

This is clearly a First Amendment violation www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned.

That's it. Irony is dead. This is unhinged.

They've run this piece at least once a week since about 1987.

Ticketmaster executives are bragging about “robbing fans blind”. The Biden administration took them to court. The Trump administration is now giving them a free pass. Why is Trump always with the billionaires and big corporations?

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.

This is, to put it mildly, a double standard. This guy was part of a government that encouraged online social media figures to engage in routine harassment of government employees to the point that many were fired or went into hiding. Some of it was done by Elon Musk, this guy's boss.

The AI layoff gamble may have worked for Jack but overall it seems like the market is getting wise to "we're firing the people who make the product we sell for money"

‘It beggars belief’: MoD sources warn #palantir’s role at heart of government is threat to UK’s security #digitalsovereignty https://www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-technologies-uk-mod-sources-government-data-insights-security-state-secrets

Aviv Tatarsky. One of the most committed Jewish Israeli activists in defending Palestinians in the West Bank. Attacked by settlers viciously yesterday in Dir Istya where he was helping a Palestinian farmer. Israeli soldiers were there and did nothing. Every. Day. Photo: @nirhasson.bsky.social on X

"EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the proposed rule shows the agency’s commitment to protecting people’s health while maintaining a stable domestic medical supply chain." Ok well that's not your job your job is to make sure we can breathe air & drink water without getting cancer, even if it's hard

Oh hey, me too. Copped a 3 day, no offending post shown, just that I got 4 strikes for breaking Anti-Harassment guidelines, which was really just criticism of a man who has a history of targeting trans women. Or at least I assume it was for that post.

yeah, real great job to the "trust & safety" team.

THEY FUCKING SUSPENDED @nessiopeia.space AFTER SHE CALLED OUT THE MODERATION TEAM FOR SUSPENDING A TRANS RAPE VICTIM WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH BLUESKY?

oi @aaron.bsky.team wtf is wrong with you?

Israel is bombing 7 countries, btw. Goodnight.

Sen. Josh Hawley introduced a bill this week seeking to revoke FDA approval of mifepristone for use in medication abortions. His own party seems uninterested. Why? Restricting abortion is politically unpopular & Trump doesn't seem to care about it. My look at the state of play — for @ms.now:

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

This gives me PTSD to my decades of high school teaching and this particular type of student…slightly stupid but massively lazy, and smugly and absolutely convinced that unearned privilege was his birthright so therefore everyone should respect his ill-informed opinions anyway.

If dems don’t break up the maga media conglomerates as soon as they can they have no sense of self preservation bsky.app/profile/atru...

TRUMP: Slumping asleep in his chair, face drooping, drool trickling down his neck. HEGSETH:

A song for the times. music.apple.com/us/album/thi...

An underground pipe rose more than 32 feet out of a street in a busy area of Osaka, nearly reaching an elevated road above.

using public office to name and shame evil landlords into submission is so cool. i hope democrats learn from him

NEW: Pete Hegseth's pastor and mentor says the United States should ban public Masses, Marian processions, and Corpus Christi devotions. Hegseth invited the anti-Catholic preacher to lead a prayer service at the Pentagon on February 14.

It was an an “accident,” but functionally on purpose because Hegseth literally got rid of the make sure that’s not a school unit then bragged about it.

Weird that Putin would benefit from this war that seems beneficial to no one else

*while the new data center is poisoning a major aquifer* sure am glad i sorted all of those recyclables

You know what we're not griping about enough? That Donald Trump's face is going to be on U.S. currency—on $1 coins—later this year. This will be the first time a living president has appeared solo on a coin, and one of the very few times a living individual has ever been on U.S. coinage.

"These data come from parallel surveys of California voters and policy influencers, fielded by TrueDot, the AI-accelerated research platform, in collaboration with the Citrin Center at UC Berkeley and POLITICO."

Democratic politicians should literally make campaign promises to shut down Palantir using antitrust laws, targeted regulation, and legislation.

what the fuck is going on in Sam Altman’s head

Trump just declared that he’d ban trans women from the Olympics. Only one openly transgender woman has ever competed in the Olympic Games in its history. In 2020. She did not win a medal. This is fabricated controversy to fuel bigotry. Like banning trans women from owning nuclear weapons.

“.. Estimates from Bloomberg: Strait of Hormuz being closed for 3 months would get Brent crude #oil up to $164/barrel.” (via Schwab) ⛽️

A surprising number of Israelis seem to have already forgotten that they're the ones who started the war.

This was in Chicago, in a 'safe' state. Fuck Chili's

I think a lot depends on how that admin behaves. if there is A Tribunal, they expropriate like a half dozen families, and above all shut down Twitter, it might break the radicalization spiral

Just airlift it dude, like that plane full of iPhones last year.

“Lowriders are viewed as rolling canvases of stylized art, meant to be displayed in public spaces.” USPS is issuing a new Forever postage stamps set, commemorating lowriders. MORE: https://www.ktsm.com/news/lowrider-postage-stamps-hit-the-streets-friday/

Apart from the sovereignty issue, that's about 22% of annual US production of Tomahawks flying past there. This isn't a sustainable campaign.

Big Tech and Big Media donated some $63 million to a Trump-aligned nonprofit that was set up to help finance Trump's presidential library. Now the nonprofit has disappeared and with it the money. Three guesses on where it's gone. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
