• If source not clear from the URL (like YouTube) please provide author name after a „|” separator in the title.
• No title editorialising unless for unclear or unnecessarily alarmist titles. Change it in a neutral matter or provide non-biased context or wing it as long as it’s descriptive.
• No dupes within reason, new content must contain new information or offer in-depth analysis or opinion. In case of breaking news, if dupes exists decision which one to preserve will not be based on time of posting but on quality and number of comments.

Moderation style:

• Mods are people. Mods will make mistakes and sometimes not own to it for some time.
• Mods are not responsible for the way you browse this community, I assume everyone read the rules before engaging.
• Mods sleep. Content not being taken fast enough doesn’t mean it’s permitted. Might leave stuff up not to stop people from discussing.
• Hope to lead by an example rather than with force. Can’t say if this is not an aspirational speech yet.
• I’m rather ill and have no succession plan. If you want to join in you’re welcome but I can be a bit of a tyrant.

Bias disclaimer:

• I was trigger happy on Reddit. This should be more lax but some things can still merit outright ban without warning.
• I’m mostly concerned with economic violence rather than culture wars. This will affect things subject to mod taste but not the general rules.
• I’m a member of Razem, a left wing political party. This will not affect taste decisions but please hold me accountable where this party affiliation specifically made me biased. This community is not intended to be affiliated with Razem.
• I refrained from modding not to end up on !yepowertrippingbastards but now I intend to because this community is going to be curated according to the rules above. Cheers.

As of 2025 state and county level task forces begun popping up across the United States. While some have picked less conspicuous official names such as “Red Tape Relief Project” and “Fiscal Responsibility Program,” all were announced as “DOGE-inspired.”

There is 100% a reason a gigantic shadow network of wealthy individuals linked to the heritage foundation is quietly pushing policies at state levels across the country while hiding behind claims of small government and transparency.

By the time the federal government completely collapses they will have everything in place to start over with their new network of support built and ready to go: New laws, new military forces, a new secret police (DOGE task forces), and a new America created to protect the interests of the wealthiest individuals and corporations on the planet. This has been in the works for decades, and even if we can't stop them, we should not be quiet about this, and we should definitely not be making things any easier on them. When you see something, make some noise and help me call this shit out!

Current list of state task forces that are constantly growing:

•Florida

•Georgia

•Iowa

•Kansas

•Kentucky

•Louisiana (Fiscal Responsibility Program)

•Missouri

•Montana (Red Tape Relief Project)

•New Hampshire

•North Carolina

•North Dakota

•Oklahoma

•South Carolina

•Tennessee (State level and at least one county level in Hamilton County)

•Texas

•Wisconsin

This is a place to report or discuss any news related to these groups or for news and discussion of any corruption going on at smaller levels. Even outside of the United States. If you have an example of smaller level corruption that needs to be called out, drop it here.

Rules:

Be respectful

No abusive language

No bigotry

No ads

No porn

All media that DRM can be applied on can be discussed here, for example books, movies, music or games.

Digital rights management (DRM) is the management of legal access to digital content.
