DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers.

Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla.

The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

Health insurance kinda sucks, bc you pay them a bunch of money each month, for them to literally do nothing, and then when you really need it, some automated claims denial robot tells you to eat shit and die.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Prosecution of people who help clients evade tax in UK falls by 75% in five years.

Less than 5 criminal cases in 2023-24, down from 16 in 2018-19

Data provided by Treasury to Parliament, in reply to my question, was inflated and incorrect.

Govts soft on tax dodge industry.

"Britain is increasingly poverty-stricken. Nothing works. Many in full employment rely on food banks. Our buildings and infrastructure are crumbling. Our waterways are poisoned.

Yet, incredibly, we are the sixth largest economy in the world.

ICYMI: DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS.

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.

We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

Very, very easy to introduce a Wealth Tax in the UK, the largest 200 companies get £80bn a year in tax breaks, Amazon gets nearly £3bn by themselves.

Simply make them pay the £80bn, guess who owns more then 90% of them?

The richest 1%.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?
