There is just absolutely no evidence that normalizing mass surveillance and its hellish tools works to keep us safe.

We’re giving up on democracy in the name of inflated, grotesque promises that simply no technology can realize.

The harms are very real though — and ignored.

Elon Musk’s DOGE never came close to cutting as much money by Sept. 30, when the government closes its books on the fiscal year, as he promised. Because its work has been obscured by crude accounting and White House maneuvers, it’s impossible to know how much DOGE actually did cut from the budget.

Not Even Congress Knows How Much Money DOGE Cut

Elon Musk’s team started a behind-the-scenes push for White House control over federal spending that is now an undercurrent of the government shutdown.

Why are we posting so much frog content?

Because it totally undermines the propaganda of the Trump regime.

We are peaceful frogs. The regime’s secret police are violent agitators.

When we expose the ridiculousness of their lies, the regime loses credibility and support.

Stay froggy, y’all! 🐸✊
