NEW: Russell Vought, acting head of CFPB and director of OMB, just killed a rule to protect US residents' personal information from predatory data brokers. @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social have the scoop: www.wired.com/story/cfbp-q...

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

How about some basic rules?
--All law enforcement officers should wear identification
--No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks
--All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams
...oh and...
--All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

Please watch THIS particular interview, shared by @prisonculture.bsky.social to get the play by play on what happened. Getting arrested for protesting is a king move, but that's not what happened here. This was a goddamned grab and sack.

This is a government-sponsored campaign of terror motivated by racial hatred. www.syracuse.com/news/2025/04...

As a former Fulbright Scholar (in Chile), I personally understand how terrifying this is. U.S. citizens around the world & foreign nationals in the U.S. — all Fulbright Scholars — have now had their incomes eliminated & are stranded.

DOGE is an illegal, criminal operation that must be shut down.

Please share this with people in your life who care about social security!

Musk still out there just wrecking the government instead of being in jail feels like a mass psychosis at this point. Like everyone watching the enormous, city-destroying tsunami on the way and discussing their surfing plans.

Counteroffer: we nationalize SpaceX and you go to prison

It's been happening for years, but it looks like the Europeans will finally acknowledge that they are under attack. "Europe is on high alert after a series of outages to cables and pipelines. This visual guide explains what happened and what’s being done" www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

These folks have never *ever* believed in freedom of speech, or freedom of any kind but the freedom to amass levels of wealth that are cataclysmic to organized society.

“DOGE is not about efficiency. It is about erasure. Democracy is being deleted in slow motion, replaced by proprietary technology and AI models. It is a coup, executed not with guns, but with backend migrations and database wipes.” open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc...
