I’m looking for a new sandbox to play in. Sick of the algorithms and social platforms owned by rich dudes. Looking for inspiration, cute animals, beautiful photos and truthful accurate politics. I will probably share same.

The Economist ran this story this week. Yes...they are coming for veterans benefits. No one voted to destroy the VA or the benefits that our 15 million living veterans receive. Just 6% of Americans have served and these fuckers are coming for our hard earned benefits.

Since no one at DoJ will hold Trump accountable when he breaks the law - and he will break the law - we are going to need to rely on lawsuits to block him and slow him down. That's why we should all support the good work of @marcelias.bsky.social and @democracydocket.com.

So. Does this mean that Musk and Vivek, to improve government efficiency, will propose merging DHHS and the FCC?
In 2021, RFK Jr. claimed that the COVID quarantine was used to roll out 5G cellphone service in our communities, that 5G causes cancer, and that 5G was created as a weapon to change human behavior.
