One month after he took over the reigns of twitter. I miss a lot of my connections there but some are so hellbent on accruing a large following they don’t bother following old connections anymore. Which is fine. I don’t care about numbers, only good vibes and connections.

The U.S. Army signed a $10 billion deal with Palantir—surveillance tech for the war machine.

While millions face losing healthcare and basic services, oligarchs like Peter Thiel are using our tax dollars to create Big Brother.

Opinion | The DHS adds blasphemy to its list of offenses DHS’ attempt to cherry-pick Bible verses to justify its policies is a battle it can’t win.

This is a dark, and twisted use of their brand of Christianity. This is a precursor to enacting Christofascism in America as a method of abuse and control.

Oh and Donald Trump will withhold disaster funding if states boycott Israeli products.

I know it’s a distraction from the Epstein files, but hot damn is it all still bad.

“No genocide has ever been committed – whether it be the Holocaust, Rwanda, Srebrenica, or Gaza – without powerful actors investing tremendous political, economic and social resources into dehumanizing the people targeted by genocidal violence.“

If you’re not trying to do something to help — whether its pounding on reps, sending some money to one of these entities or in some way helping someone besides yourself whether that’s a friend, or friend of friend, or a family member in need — grieving gets you zero brownie points.

Musk permanently locked me out of my annually paid X account just before the presidential election last year, mere hours after I posted an Intercept article critical of him.

Yosemite employees worked for weeks with no pay before the government hired them — NPR Seasonal employees counting on housing at Yosemite were asked to volunteer for the park while the government was unable to onboard them at the start of the summer.

Dr. Oz announced the government is designing an app for Medicaid recipients to submit proof of employment that will be “super simple.” By “simple,” he means making it easier for the government to exclude the most vulnerable who can’t afford or navigate the technology.

And for only 2 people. My guess is that because they grew up in poverty and chose a profession that led to gobs of money, this is proof of life for them.
