New from 404 Media: a Musk ally has demanded administrative access to Notify.gov, a system that lets the government text the public. The access would give them large swathes of the publics' personal data too. A worker has resigned in protest rather than give access www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...

As Robert F Kennedy becomes Secretary of HHS we must remember that “Just asking questions” about vaccines, and casting doubt on well-established science could have fatal consequences.

Researchers estimate over 300,000 South Africans died because their leaders denied scientific truths.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

Just to review:

1. A coup has not yet occurred. A coup (or a “self-coup”) would entail Trump shutting down Congress or canceling elections.

2. Preparations for a coup are in place as Trump replaces FBI agents.

3. If a coup occurs, it is likely in 2026 when Trump refuses to recognise elections.
