If you want to know why Musk is running DOGE the way he is, read Character Limit. He’s literally doing all the same shit to the federal government that he did to Twitter: randomly ripping servers out of the wall, hinging employment on responding to a sweaty late-night email, etc. Because he’s stupid

Trump's attacks on federal workers have led to a surge in union signups, according to AFGE. The union's goal was to hit 325K members by end of 2025 but they might hit it by end of this week.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care.

I know this is a dumb PR stunt, but it’s a peak example of AI arms dealers wrongly thinking anyone wants them to pollute, devalue, and enshittify the arts, and in this case, occupy a type of space - a dance music venue - that’s historically a safe haven for people of all walks. This sucks.

This is great. I fully support automated enforcement to complement street redesigns and other infrastructure safety improvements.

in addition to musk stealing the data for his own purposes, I imagine that they think they can simply shut off payments to whoever doesn’t comply. I would not be shocked if they tried to turn off Social Security for an entire state of course that’s dissolution of the union territory.
