I remain convinced DOGE was a massive, planetary scale data exfiltration scheme and that Palantir has it all now
Musk's people infiltrated the GSA technology arm early on and demanded root-level access to computer systems, trying to circumvent normal security procedures. Here's one example where they pushed so hard they forced someone to resign rather than give in.

Why did they do this?

We re literally being forced into interactive feedback loops with individuals and groups who are committed to self sabotage and collective sabotage.
For the rest of us that want our species to survive we re gonna have to start moving around them or stampede over them if they continue positioning themselves as an obstacle from everyone else actually achieving actualization.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

It’s also why we keep seeing interviews with random billionaires. They are just interviewing their friends.
If you're ever wondered why journalists seem so out of touch most of the time it's because in order to establish yourself you need to either come from money, marry into money, or be OK with abject poverty and daily financial panic

That third thing is unsustainable long-term

Just sent $400 to partners Mom to save the Only Car for a family of 9 bc the $200 we sent yesterday was used to pay electricity. Rightly so.

Please help us recoup as that wiped out our dental treatment, grocery & bills fund.

Can someone volunteer time or funds help me get a website with a shop up for survival?

We have some cool things to sell but lost money trying on ebay & Mercari. We're also both artists & crafters & have a 3D printer, just need printing supplies.

I need help to get a minimal upkeep shop site up.
