Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.
Rand Paul: "People say, 'Oh, people have a right to say things.' Well, actually they don't necessarily have a right to say things. Many people have in their contract what we call a morals clause ... I think it is time for this to be a crackdown on people."

We need a huge cross-section of society, engaging in diverse tactics- not just protest, but strikes, slowdowns, leaks, refusals, gumming up the works, ridiculous art, coordinated disruption, a whole range of things to make it impossible for those who intend evil and do harm to execute their plans.

At times like these it's important to remember that the average MAGAt is perfectly happy living under a bridge, cooking rotten pigeons over the remains of their retirement savings just so long as black folks and transgender kids can't get pigeons.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Cuts Could Kill Your Dog

The fact that “neutral” pundits continue to carry water for the lie that a majority of Americans support what is happening to trans people is further evidence that “neutrality” isn’t journalism at all. It’s not holding power to account. It’s reinforcing power and repeating propaganda

Take a moment to read this absolute artifact of a 1999 Salon piece about Elon Musk. All the pieces are there: high confidence, low experience, inept results, lucky bailout, and the fawning coverage that made it all happen while building the blueprint for a generation of Silicon Valley bullshit.
In 1999, Salon reported his immigration violations, disastrous management of Zip2, reputation for recklessness & ego, and his claim that he left South Africa because “who wants to serve in a Fascist military?”
The reporter found this “endearing.”

This is tragic. Anyone who was familiar with 18F knows those were some of the real heroes of government, who helped make government tech/digital services better for the public.
They were doing real work that DOGE pretends to do, but is too ignorant to know how to do.

18F, a digital services unit inside the General Services Administration, has been completely laid off, according to an email I’ve seen. The email says that 18F was deemed “non-critical” and the decision was made with the “explicit” direction of the administration and GSA leadership.

Elon updated DOGE, claiming to have fixed the mistakes we all pointed out. But instead of correcting them, he just added more false claims. He even inflated his so-called “savings” total from $55 billion to $65 billion, when in reality, the actual increase is only from $2 billion to $2.3 billion.
