Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American.

If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall.
tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.

If this grant "freeze" holds, it is essentially a hostile takeover by Trump of Congress's authority to allocate federal resources.
This single action makes every federal grant subject to individual approval by one of Trump's political appointees.
It's sheer chaos.
