DOGE likely perpetrated the most serious, far-reaching data breaches in human history, and we will be dealing with the consequences for years.
Many DOGErs should have been, and still could be, prosecuted for these crimes.

We've gone from defining doxing as posting someone's social security number / home address to now just posting a public officials name. How long until naming a federal agency becomes doxing, too
Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem accuses CBS host of "doxxing" for simply asking about ICE agent Jonathan Ross.
NOEM: Don't say his name. For heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement.
CBS: His name is published —
NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue

I watched a clip earlier today where Nawal el Saadawi said there’s no Democracy under capitalism and this is what she meant.
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.
