Has anyone tried to file FOIA request against DOGE?
Not that it would go anywhere under this administration but having a record would be nice.
I don't get the take here.
Is this bad because....they had a gun?
Or is it bad because the gun had a transgender flag?
Aren't they all for gun rights?
Musk’s team of youngsters, as first reported by WIRED on Sunday, is Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.
The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;
It's deeply telling:
- when a white person is in charge and shit hits the fan, it's immigrants
- when a non white person is in charge and there's a minor inconvenience, it's DEI. When shit hits the fan, it's DEI and immigrants
I was going to go but after spending almost an entire evening trying to find organizing information, I gave up and decided to sit this out.
There was no information on who was organizing this, who is backing it, and most importantly, who to contact. From an OPSEC standpoint, without a clear contact on who was organizing, it read like a false flag.
- website had no information outside of the event
- all POCs were "to be announced"
- website for my area was on carrd with only the image of the flyer
- all social media accounts are on techbro websites with no presence on mastodon or lemmy. Their bluesky account never directly answered the question of who was behind the account
I hope to God I'm wrong and hope that organizers are well intentioned but given our current political climate, I need to know who is putting this out there. I'm not the only one worried. Many others on Bluesky, reddit, Facebook, etc all raised concerns. One reply I read was "contact us on discord".
Fuck. That.
There wasn't even a link to their discord!!!
Edit: compare this to the protest happening in front of the Treasury
- clear organizer (Elizabeth Warren iirc -- I stumbled across this yesterday and can't seem to find the source) and promoted by other prominent Democrats
- shared publicly along Democrat official channels and accounts
- press notified and documented the event
I'd like to remind everyone that NOAA is under the Department of Commerce because, as it turns out, understanding weather patterns, being able to accurately forecast weather changes, is kind of important to businesses.
Not OP, but I always prefer bash over python since it's "lower level". But that's just a preference.
Huh...TIL that post pings do not notify the user.
I promise to use my powers for good. 🏴☠️🦜
It's typically against decorum for the previous administration to judge the current one.
Trump was/is just an asshole which is why he had no problem doing it.
So.......can we just feed the AI images of various billionaires and CEOs?
One that:
As many of the above that can apply.
If you end up going to a protest because "I want to do something" without doing any due diligence, you are placing your faith and trust to someone you do not know. If you arrive there, they may pretend to be a part of a leftist organization. You may end up trusting them more than you should, giving them more information than you should. If they are running the protest as a false flag and in bad faith, then you've given your private information to someone who intends you harm.
Best case scenario, the organizers don't know what they are doing and are running the protest in good faith, but it also means they are new to this and don't have good operational security.
