The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.

Calls and text messages have flooded me in the last 72 hours from friends and colleagues in Sierra Leone and elsewhere: Are my meds going to be cut off? Am I going to die? I don't know what to tell them. I don't know what to tell anyone. Hope is my whole jam, but I feel very distant from it.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

this is theft on an unimaginable scale
3/ different pieces fit together. There also seems to be a significant amount of downloading government data onto private servers, etc, totally outside any cybersecurity regime. Additionally it’s unclear to the people inside whether the people doing these things actually work for the US govt…

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

I agree. We are witnessing the disintegration of the federal constitutional order.
It is past time to start consider - in concrete terms - what individuals, and entities including business enterprises, and blue states, can do to protect against/not facilitate tyranny.
A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going:
If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes?
And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

The Republican Congress has surrendered. They are no longer a functioning co-equal branch of government. Democrats need to do everything to not cooperate. Use your position to slow their fascist takeover. The time of “bipartisanship” and “finding common ground” is over. Now it’s time to fight.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.
The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
History is repeating. Pay attention.

I would like to see some reporting on the ICE preparation timeline because if you're going to have agents ready to roll in this many places on day four of a new administration that indicates prior planning with people who would've been reporting to someone who wasn't their official boss yet

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy.
Or in prison.
