If anything at all makes sense in these insane times, it’s that Musk’s #DOGE is acting on the barrage of lies the #GOP and #MAGA have been slinging at the Federal government for years now. #Capitalism wants it to leave them alone so they can plunder at will. #uspol gizmodo.com/doge-prep…

The hatred that emanates from the Whites Only House is existentially disturbing, notably through the nasty, painful cuts to programs like The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Thousands of #children born with #AIDS will now die. #uspol #humanrights #healthcare www.salon.com/2025/02/2…

Pay attention, people! The Huntington Beach City Council fired former #Vikings punter Chris Kluwe from his job as high school football coach at Edison HS for the crime of protesting against #MAGA. Don’t just follow the National madness. #uspol #fascism mynewsla.com/sports/20…

Reason #1,432,644 to #UninstallFacebook… you know what, I’ll let John cover this one in the latest episode of Last Week Tonight. #UninstallInstagram #UninstallWhatsapp #UninstallMeta #fuckZuckerberg www.youtube.com/watch

#Censorship isn’t limited to #socialnetworks. Last year there were nearly 300 #internet shutdowns in 54 countries, the worst on record. I wonder how long it will take #TFG & Co to try that here. #politics #uspol #fascism #tech www.axios.com/2025/02/2…

#Musk and #TFG and the #MAGA masses are so accustomed to lying and getting away with it, they just spew meaningless garbage without a care in the world? Something now immediately contradicts something said a week or so ago? Who cares! It’s not like anyone gives a damn, anyway, and if they do there’s nothing they can do to stop it, so again… who cares!

Take #Xitter’s #CommunityNotes as an example. They were great because Musk didn’t need to pay people to keep toxic shit off the Official Social Network of Shitposting® because the “community” would handle that. But now that those same notes are being “gamed” by filthy libs, “he” is going to have to “fix” them, so I guess not the bestest anymore?

These 20G 90º turns at speed are quite jarring. #socialmedia #tech #capitalism #fascism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

I don’t think punitive resignation works anymore. Not only does it close out a specific process pipeline, it creates a hole which #TFG & Co can fill with whomever they please, and that is likely to be a useful idiot. Stay. Fight. #uspol www.washingtonpost.com/politics/…

If you have operated under the illusion that #TFG & Co are trying to save #America’s #economy by cutting waste and fraud, then you should know that installing these and then removing them costs millions of dollars. Also very petty. #uspol #tech gizmodo.com/u-s-gover…
