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.

Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been unleashed on federal agencies. ProPublica is attempting to document who is working with him and what they are doing.

We @propublica.org added a bunch of new names and bios to the DOGE tracker: projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

There are several critiques of the Polity measure of democracy.

But the underlying point holds— democracy experts are extremely worried about what the Trump administration is doing to American democracy.

Akash Bobba, Luke Farritor, Ethan Shaotran, Gavin Kliger, Gauthier Cole Killian, and Edward Coristine. Spread their names, spread their shame. These are the unelected Musk lackies with no Congressional oversight that broke into OUR data.

🧵NEW: Federal employees have file a class-action lawsuit against Trump’s Office of Personnel Management, alleging “test emails” it sent out to create a government-wide list lacked mandated privacy controls. 1/3

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

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.

The Office of Personnel Management has been compromised. "The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals."

What you can do Ten ways to resist Trump II

In light of Trump II’s predictably cruel and bonkers beginning, many people are asking: “What can I do now?” Here are 10 recommendations. robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-c...

Public health under attack from within. Day 3 of the new Trump Administration was an "own goal" against our shared interests.

This is all so unreal.

The Catholic tradition holds clearly that how we treat migrants is how we treat Christ as explained by Erga Migrantes Caritas Christi (issued under JP2)

Inhumane treatment of migrants and refugees would be like someone spitting on the Eucharist or insulting the Blessed mother.

WATCH: Biden's final speech from the White House warns of an ultra-wealthy oligarchy that could threaten democracy Speaking from the Oval Office as he prepares to hand over power Monday to President-elect Donald Trump, Biden sounded alarm over the accumulation of power and wealth among a small few.

President Biden used his farewell address to the nation Wednesday to warn of an “oligarchy” of the ultra-wealthy taking root in the country and of a “tech-industrial complex” that is infringing on Americans’ rights and the future of democracy.

Inside Elon Musk’s Plan for DOGE to Slash Government Costs (Gift Article) Mr. Musk has turned to Silicon Valley to help recruit executives who will take up unofficial positions across the federal government.

Here’s what I don’t get: why does anyone in the federal government even have to meet with these dilettantes? They’re not govt employees.

If they want info about the inner workings of agencies let them submit a FOIA request, LOL. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/u...

As they were criticizing Pope Francis' acknowledging of the South American concept of Pachamama (Mother Earth). The pinnacle of irony.

Let’s get one thing straight: the cost of the Green New Deal is far less than the cost of losing our planet to the climate crisis.

From lettuce to cilantro to broccoli, Yuma County produces many of the leafy green vegetables consumed in the U.S. during winter months. Farmers there rely on the nearby Colorado River, but with drought and a changing climate, they've had to adapt.

Well would you look at that.
