29 oktober: stem vóór de democratie.

In 2012 - toen de NOvA dit onderzoek voor het eerst deed - kregen ‘slechts’ 2 partijen een rode kaart. Nu zijn dat er 12 - TWAALF - van de 15. Voor wie niet snapt hoe Overton werkt; zo dus. Het ooit ondenkbare of ontoelaatbare of onwenselijke wordt gaandeweg het nieuwe normaal. Wauw.

Gaan we lekker Amerika achterna...

You are here.

DOGE is shaping up to be the biggest failure of all time. All pain. No gain. Shrouded in secrecy, lies, and false projections. A scam on the American people.

Meanwhile, the administration has quietly slashed DOGE’s so-called “savings target” from $2 trillion to just $150 billion. Because it was never about savings. It was always about control.

Your data. Your life. Their weapon. We see it now for what it is.

Why is Donald Trump stifling free speech? Because that's what every dictator does.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

You bragged that you fed an aid agency keeping millions of the world’s most vulnerable people alive “into the wood chipper” and you’re whinging about someone dunking on your stock price?

‘Freedom of speech’

Musk Set to Get Access to Top-Secret U.S. Plan for Potential War With China Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.

Breaking News: The Pentagon is set to brief Elon Musk on the U.S. military’s closely guarded plan for any potential war with China, officials said.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Hallo. Dit is niet normaal.

Trump houdt Oekraïne/Zelensky verantwoordelijk voor het beginnen van de oorlog. De VS is een bondgenoot van Rusland geworden, een fascistische alliantie.

In hun ogen zijn democratieën het grootste gevaar. We worden existentieel bedreigd en staan er alleen voor. Is iedereen wakker?

Van een beetje dwangarbeid gaat iedereen zich toch beter voelen... /s

Als je ADHD, antidepressiva medicijnen slikt dan moet je van RFK naar een heropvoedkamp.

Is dit wat Vance bedoelde met democratie en wat door Wierd Duk en al die andere MAGA-meelopers hier in NL bejubeld wordt?

This is not a war on affirmative hiring practices or HR trainings. This is a war against women, girls, and LGBTQIA people worldwide. It is a war to reinforce patriarchy.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

Ik vraag me af of 'autocratische proefballon' nu echt de juiste benaming is van een fascistische machtsovername.
Als we iets van de jaren dertig meegekregen hebben, is dat wel dat je fascistische machtsovernames niet moet bagatelliseren en zeker niet moet normaliseren.

A tweet from Chris Murphy reads: "An unaccountable billionaire is seizing control of the government. Now he has access to your tax information. Maybe because he wants to decide who gets refunds and who doesn't. Before it's too late, this is the moment for Americans stand up and say: we want our government back." Below the tweet, there is an image of a CNN breaking news segment with the headline: "MUSK TEAM GAINS ACCESS TO SYSTEM THAT WRITES AMERICA'S CHECKS".

Now indeed is the time.

I remember they had ‘Don’t be evil’ in their tagline.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

En dan zijn we nu in de periode aangekomen waarin doemdenkers doodnormale realisten zijn geworden. Het liep dus wel zo'n vaart.
