It’s giving…Iraq War black sites vibes

If you or the people you support are the reason for a press conference like this –– you're fucking evil.

there's so many layers of fraud and abuse in this story that "someone might have been trying to log into the NLRB's systems with a valid Doge username and password from russia" doesn't even make it into the first 5,000 words

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

It certainly looks like Elon Musk’s henchmen stole all the data from the agency which protects workers rights, tried to cover it up, and then threatened to kill the guy who blew the whistle on it.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

I am often asked how to defeat fascists. If I had an easy answer, we wouldn't be here! The point of my story is that I do have experience dealing with people who enjoy the anguish of others, and I know how fragile those people's confidence is. When I did a story on a troll harassment campaign against a woman in Montana, I published the audio of the creepy voicemails the trolls had left for her. A couple of my alt-right sources were furious because they felt embarrassed-the voicemails did not sound cool when played to a mass audience. As troll culture has ascended to the highest levels of American governance, it's worth remembering this simple fact: One way to rebalance the power between a billionaire troll and regular people is to make sure everyone sees who they really are.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

TikTok’s ability to inspire (real-time) millions of Americans to weigh in on policy is exactly why it should be banned/divested. We are not a serious people.
