Just a quick reminder that rich powerful men abusing people with less power is a systemic problem. The individuals doing this are garbage human beings, AND ALSO they could not do these things at this rate without systems in place to protect them, their power, their money.

I really believed that the word "quack" referred to an actual doctor who did not understand or practice medicine well.
My apologies to everyone who called RFKJr a quack, you were dead on.

In MS Outlook email, people can "react" with an emoji to your email. I sent an email with the information requested by a colleague and got this emoji back.
This is a polite guy and there was zero emotional content to the email. So why did I think it was a middle finger emoji? 😀

Kash Patel is still in charge of the FBI, but he's gone from the ATF according to their website. He was replaced by Daniel Driscoll, who is also the current Secretary of the Army.
When everyone you hire is unqualified, there's no harm in swapping their positions or giving them two jobs at a time?

Saw this headline and immediately thought "probably that group's beliefs include the Article I right to habeas corpus, the first amendment right to free speech, and the fifth amendment right to due process."
However, even if the group does not believe in those rights, they still hold them.

My faith in humanity. Even I can't take it away from me, try as I might.
I know people, collectively, are terrible. Look at what we do.
But I'm still unsurprised to see people take care of each other. In the absence of contrary evidence, I assume good faith.
doesn't always work out for me...

Today, Chuck Schumer was tweeting about the illegal conduct of fascists. (And apparently 'revolutionaries' according to Musk)
Meanwhile, regular people were outside Schumer's office protesting.
Those people were literally doing something while Schumer was talking about doing something.

![A screenshot of a twitter interaction between Chuck Schumer and Elon Musk.
Original message: Schumer: An unelected shado government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or ignore federal law. DOGE's conduct cannot be allowed to stand. Congress must take actions to restore the rule of law.
Musk quote tweeted that with "Hysterical reactions like this is [sic] how you know that @DOGE is doing work that really matters. This is the one shot the American people have to defeat bureaucracy, rule of the bureaucrats, and restore democracy, rule of the people. We're never going to get another chance like this. It's now or never. Your support is crucial to the success of the revolution of the people."
Schumer quote tweeted that, with "Nothing screams democracy like having a secret squad of company men pull off a hostile takeover of America's Social Security and tax information in the dead of night."
The latest quote tweet has a timestamp that says "18m" (18 minutes ago)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gxbkj2tbs4m5swh7f2gsfjub/bafkreicglpxby477huzbsmaorplzrnyjtbu73zematqp4vozy3hhzobnoa@jpeg)
