TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Every so often I am asked to talk to people outside the US about what DOGE did. People are broadly interested in the idea of tech and disruption in government because of a broad frustration with government. But then when you explain the details they are pretty horrified.
We had at one point similar sentiments being voiced here in the UK, i.e. various Labour people saying 'we should use Trump/DOGE means for Labour ends' and well...
There is such a thirst in some progressive centrist circles that they will look at the Trump administration as a model to get things done. I think its worth addressing the argument. This is from Mark Dunkelman, author of the widely praised "Why Nothing Works."

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.
