Dr. Ellie Murray, ScD: Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal. Regulations don’t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.

DOGE had two objectives: protect Musk's illegal activity from legal exposure and to steal data for Peter Thiel’s Palantir database and his own AI training. #DOGE
Results of DOGE: - Not a single case of fraud prosecuted - Not a single piece of legislation filed as a result of findings - Millions of government workers got a 6 month paid vacation funded by taxpayers and are now being hired back - Now paying legal fees to defend the many lawsuits filed by employees - now paying for training and reintegrating people being hired back at their jobs

-So Trump deploys the National Guard to DC and none of them get hurt for months. -Then a federal judge declares the deployment illegal and tells them to stand down. -One week later a person with ties to the CIA shoots two National Guardsmen, giving perfect justification to continue the deployment.

They may not be the heroes we need, but they're the heroes we have, and they deserve their flowers. Mushrooms?
Quoted post from another site: Russell Howard has said Trump's Scottish Golf Course has had to up its security because Righteous Scottish men are breaking in and shitting in the holed. Not all heroes wear capes. They wear kilts. --Emma Kennedy

@quatraingleam.bsky.social Relevant to our conversation the other day:
Political cartoon by Nick Anderson NYT - a little girl (Public Schools) holds a trick or treat bag. Candy dropped into the girl's bag by an outstretched arm goes through the bottom of the bag into a bowl (Vouchers) held by a masked thief.
