Just to clarify: if the US recognizes Crimea as Russian, it will open Pandora's box, it will simply legalize the aggressor's actions, then the Russians will want recognition of all occupied territories, and later they can start invading new Ukrainian regions.

It just keeps getting weirder...

Now the MAGA Pronatalist Movement is going to present a "National Medal of Motherhood” for married women who give birth to 6+ children.

What in the Margaret Atwood is happening here?

Trump is assisting two war criminals and genocides at once. It is backing Russia against Ukraine and Israel against Gaza. His actions are leading to the increasing mass death of civilians at the hands of Putin and Netanyahu. Never forget.

Spot on.
Three-panel meme of an older woman talking to a younger man at a kitchen table. In the first panel, she says, “JK Rowling is just Andrew Tate for women.” In the second, she sips from a teacup. In the third, she looks on calmly, suggesting a mic-drop moment.

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems.

www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data The IT team met to discuss insider threats - namely, the DOGE engineers, whose activities it had little insight into or control over. "We had no idea what they did," he explained. Those conversations are reflected in his official disclosure. They eventually launched a formal breach investigation, according to the disclosure, and prepared a request for assistance from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). However, those efforts were disrupted without an explanation, Berulis said. That was deeply troubling to Berulis, who felt he needed help to try to get to the bottom of what happened and determine what new vulnerabilities might be exploited as a result. In the days after Berulis and his colleagues prepared a request for CISAs help investigating the breach, Berulis found a printed letter in an envelope taped to his door, which included threatening language, sensitive personal information and overhead pictures of him walking his dog, according to the cover letter attached to his official disclosure. It's unclear who sent it, but the letter made specific reference to his decision to report the breach. Law enforcement is investigating the letter. While investigating the data taken from the agency, Berulis tried to determine its ultimate destination. But whoever had exfiltrated it had disguised its destination too, according to the disclosure. DOGE staffers had permission to access the system, but removing data is another matter. Berulis says someone appeared to be doing something called DNS tunneling to prevent the data exfiltration from being detected. He came to that conclusion, outlined in his disclosure, after he saw a traffic spike in DNS requests parallel to the data being exfiltrated, a spike 1,000 times the normal number of requests. When someone uses this kind of technique, they set up a domain name that pings the target system with questions or queries. But they configure the compromised server so that it answers those DNS queries by sending out packets of data, allowing the attacker to steal information that has been broken down into smaller chunks. "We've seen Russian threat actors do things like this on U.S. government systems," said one threat intelligence researcher who requested anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly by their employer. That analyst, who has extensive experience hunting nation-state-sponsored hackers, reviewed the whistleblower's technical claims. Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in, according to Berulis' disclosure. The attempts were "near real-time," according to the disclosure. Those attempts were blocked, but they were especially alarming. Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts - and the person had the correct username and password, according to Berulis. While it's possible the user was disguising their location, it's highly unlikely they'd appear to be coming from Russia if they wanted to avoid suspicion, cybersecurity experts interviewed by NPR explained. On their own, a few failed login attempts from a Russian IP address aren't a smoking gun, those cybersecurity experts interviewed by NPR said. But given the overall picture of activity, it's a concerning sign that foreign adversaries may already be searching for ways into government systems that DOGE engineers may have left exposed. "When you move fast and break stuff, the opportunity to ride the coattails of authorized access is ridiculously easy to achieve," said Handorf. What he means is that if DOGE engineers left access points to the network open, it would be very easy for spies or criminals to break in and steal data behind DOGE. He said he could also see foreign adversaries trying to recruit or pay DOGE team members for access to sensitive data. "It would not surprise me if DOGE is accidentally compromised."

It's not just that Elon Musk does business in China. He owns a very *troubled* business, Tesla, that is disproportionally reliant on China to help it to become profitable again.

Elon now knows the US military secret China is most interested in discovering. Seem they have powerful leverage for that.

Calling fentanyl a „weapon of mass destruction“ serves 2 purposes: 1) laying the groundwork to justify military operations against Canada and Mexico 2) strip language from any meaning and create an unreality where words are being used to justify every horror this administration inflicts

This is a rather smart forecasting. Brussels
and Beijing already have more global power over trade, technical standards and product properties legislation than Washington have.
andersostlund.bsky.social Anders Östlund @andersostlund.bsky.social · Mar 18
My bet is that in five years Beijing, Brussels and New Delhi will have greater sway than Washington while Moscow will be engulfed in revolution, unrest or civil war, and not even part of any power plays any longer.
