The subterfuge never ends with DOGE. They continue to go agency by agency to exfiltrate data to their central AI. Of course, they always start with disabling security logs. Kind of like when criminals break into a bank and disabling the cameras. Meanwhile Elon touts how transparent they are.

Antisemitism and Islamophobia are never okay.

I disagree heartily with Israel’s government and military actions. I don’t transfer the blame for that onto Jews at large.

I vehemently despise Hamas’ terrorist attacks. I don’t transfer that to Palestinians or Muslims at large.

It’s easy, try it.
