After years of alarm over unelected bureaucrats pulling the strings, what better example can you find than this moment the US government is in? DOGE is the thing it claims to fear the most. Elon Musk is the problem he purportedly wants to solve. Doge *is* the Deep State. @brbarrett.bsky.social:

The millions in USAID food is STILL sitting at the Port of Houston. Trump fired the watchdogs reporting on this story, he doesn’t want Americans to see this debacle. Wasting millions on food already purchased is the epitome of wealthy entitlement #Voices4Victory www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/usa...

David Lynch - A huge and sad loss. A remarkably unique and very talented filmmaker. It was such a truly great pleasure to work with him. If his name was in the credits, you knew the film was really worth seeing. I will miss him.

A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season. These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels. We are in a climate emergency.

The evacuation order has been lifted in my zone in Hollywood and as far as I know my building is still standing. Forever grateful and thankful for the first responders, LAFD, LACFD, LAPD, Mayor Bass, Gov. Newsom and all the volunteers during this unprecedented wind event #sunsetfire

Still waiting for free Palestine protesters to go after Trump like they went after Biden & Harris. WHERE YOU AT NOW? Trump tapped Mike Huckabee for Ambassador to Israel: “There’s really no such thing as a Palestinian.” Trump himself isn’t ruling out Israel’s annexation of the West Bank.

1,570 crashes involving Tesla Autopilot. Honda is second with just 110 driver assistance system-involved crashes reported. No wonder Elon Musk wants this data deleted.

This blind Tesla hate is getting old. Their systems are way ahead of the competition...

When the physician Dwight Burdick first reviewed the Saudi princesses’ medical charts, he was dismayed to learn that they were being regularly dosed with Valium, Ativan, Xanax, and Ambien. “They’re chemically immobilizing them,” he recalled thinking.

Even if you're not moved by the argument that Twitter is a rightwing cesspool thanks to its redpilled owner, the fact that foreign enemies are expressing concern that they won't be able to use Twitter to manipulate Americans anymore should be enough to warrant the exodus.

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

This is why Trump, Musk, and every other collaborator are begging Ukraine to accept a deal with a buffer zone that just so happens to exist over these regions, valued at $10 trillion. The goal is the same, to screw Ukraine from its natural resources and plunder it among Kremlin friendly oligarchs.

The regions containing these mineral deposits align with areas targeted or already occupied by Russian forces, including Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Significant deposits are also located in Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Poltava, and Kryvyi Rih. #opcanary
