There's a media blackout on the FBI's new enemies list and cash fund for snitching on people harboring things like "anti-Americanism."

What little coverage its gotten has been laughably bad:

Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after.

Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.

For the love of all that is holy stop using AI to produce slop making fun of Trump. It’s lame as shit and only normalized a technology that’s economically, environmentally, and intellectually destructive.

It’s using fascist tools and thinking you’re fighting fascism. Stop.

Senator Elissa Slotkin, who is fond of bringing up her national security expertise from having worked for the CIA, says she hasn't had a chance to read Trump's NSPM-7 directive.

It was signed a week ago!

Dems condemn Trump’s broad ‘domestic terrorism’ directive — but offer few concrete steps for opposition
The White House last week targeted so-called domestic terrorism organizations in a wide-ranging memo which appeared to provide broad definitions of conduct “animating” political violence.

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

Tech companies have been interfering in international politics and enabling authoritarians for years. It’s their business model.

Things are becoming more obvious because there’s no need for a mask anymore, but we also need to recognize what’s happening now isn’t an aberration but an evolution.

This is the economic version of the scene in "Alien" when the guy wakes up after the alien lays an egg in him and momentarily feels great right before it comes busting out of his stomach

I think it's pretty reasonable to question the competency of our military leaders a quarter century and trillions of dollars into an endless series of "special operations", throughout which very few of whom have ever seen accountability for their broadly opaque decision-making with our tax dollars

AI is the ideal technology to accompany the decline of America.

It caters to the entitled, to those who have no desire to learn and think they know everything, it destroys creativity and critical thinking, and lays the cultural foundation for fascism.

#AmeriCorps constitutes 0.02% of the federal budget and mobilizes over 200,000 AmeriCorps members and volunteers across the United States each year.

We run food pantries, we prevent forest fires, we teach children to read - and DOGE wants to shut us down.

How does this help America?

AmeriCorps costs about $1.3 billion for 190,000 members. That's less than $7,000 per person. There are about 1.4 million active duty U.S. soldiers. Their cost is estimated to be about $140,000 per person.

good thing trump fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee last week and is redirecting funds towards deportations.

unrelated, remember how hitler fired the head of airship safety for not being pro-nazi and then put in a yes man willing to cut corners and then the hindenburg blew up?
