Well clearly THIS is who we should report on! /s
The rest went home safe and sound and got tapas at the local restaurants and bars. The streets are already clean for tomorrow.
9·7 months agoThe whole wu tang slang comes from their neighborhood in NY. Shaolin is their name for staten island.
7·7 months agoFor more information on being a US resident/citizen trying to get out of the US, and what your options are in various countries, I also highly recommend Trans World Express https://transworldexpress.org/wiki/Main_Page
The info there isn’t necessarily only useful to trans people, but mostly is aimed at trans people, since trans people are very vulnerable right now.
I wish more folks would pay attention to what is happening in Ecuador. The vast majority of the population don’t deserve any of this.
And of course the real driver of all this is people up in the global north (UK/EU/USA/etc) treating cocaine as a party drug that has only grown in popularity despite all the health and addiction concerns.
Meanwhile the very real and tragic consequences are that global narco gangs have more money and power than local governments. Ecuador used to be a nice place to live just a few years ago. Now you can’t go out in the streets at night.
It’s a GREAT festival. Super fun. Every neighborhood you can just walk around and there are little stages of groups or solo musicians performing. Free and just kind of everywhere. Good vibes. Very pedestrian friendly.
Remember the last acting agent before this guy (sp four days ago) was Melanie Krause.
She stepped down rather than allow Americans private IRS filing data to be given to ICE. Scott bessett and Kristi noem signed that agreement without her knowing. She found out because it was on Fox News that the data had been given over. Again not clear that it was at all legal to do so.
Three days with this mini-mooch interim guy had at least one goal: (1) make the IRS remove Harvard’s statuses. He did that on day 1 of 3.
But possibly (2) could be just long enough to have approved other stuff that the serious acting admins wouldn’t do. Such as: additional data exfiltration by doge, more layoffs, or other sweeping decisions for political purposes…
The constitution has plenty of checks for this and it starts with Congress (Article I).
Republicans can grow a spine and stop this today. They could have voted to impeach him twice. They don’t have to fund this! They choose to. This is the obeying in advance thing.
Three representatives in the house absolutely can pull a John McCain and 👎the slim margin and hold this up. From Rand Paul to Susan Collin’s and everyone in between they can find reasons to hold their vote and bring this action down. Just say hey they lied about social security or they lied about the tariffs and go from there.
313·10 months agoHey gamers: try bazzite Linux and you won’t ever have to worry about this. Try bringing one old machine over as a test and you’ll see for yourself.
I got it running in an afternoon recently. It reads all your windows docs off an external backup. The desktop version really can be a daily driver. The update script is a single click. Genuinely worth considering if you want at least some of your computer usage to not be recorded 24/7.
The US is paying El Salvador money to hold these people. Acting like there is nothing either can do is about as boldface a lie as there is. They can literally do anything they want and have control of both sides of any contracts.
This is them saying “what are you going to do about it?” And what should happen is people need to keep the pressure on so Congress sides with the courts asap (and this guys’ Senator is flying there next week to see him personally).
Don’t worry. For some of us, the riff started immediately. Still hasn’t quit.
Yeah it’s really more that since ten years ago, that the people who have been buying up homes are buying lots.
So the average person gets no house and the rich and corporations own many houses (then rent them out at high costs or sit on them as a private collection like a summer home or portfolio home).
There is a plan. Replace as much of the government as possible with third party vendors run by loyal donors. Aka how they do it in Russia. once the old systems are gone Who’s gonna stop ya?
Here’s what they’re doing to the IRS with or without waiting for the lawsuits to end. (Just posted in another thread about the article it comes from):
The agency is expected to partner with a third-party vendor to manage certain aspects of the data project. Palantir, a software company cofounded by billionaire and Musk associate Peter Thiel, has been brought up consistently by DOGE representatives as a possible candidate, sources tell WIRED.
This is it. This is the big one.

Two top DOGE operatives at the IRS, Sam Corcos and Gavin Kliger, are helping to orchestrate the hackathon, sources tell WIRED. Corcos is a health-tech CEO with ties to Musk’s SpaceX. Kliger attended UC Berkeley until 2020 and worked at the AI company Databricks before joining DOGE as a special adviser to the director at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Corcos is also a special adviserto Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Second reponse because I’m just blown away how you could say Bernie is silent. Here’s a live dream of the rally right the fuck now.
Your news sources are failing you as is your search tab. Here’s a video from Bernie yesterday with footage of him at the biggest rallies he and AOC have EVER held!
First they came for…
