@inthehands Or, the "save government money" stuff was just a cover story, and the real aim of DOGE was exfiltrating all government data to feed Elon's AI. Which he accomplished in the first week.

I'm just boggled man; like did these people have a brain tumor for breakfast? Did they sleep through all of June and July? Because I feel like if, right now, there is any "stopping Trump" strategy that depends on "eventually we will appear before the Supreme Court" you need a better strategy...

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in #CECOT
==

We interviewed nine Venezuelan men who were sent to CECOT in #ElSalvador by the #Trump administration.

Some said their feelings about what happened were still raw.

All of the men said they were abused physically and mentally during their imprisonment.

Real world testing is crucial, the new Loops webUI isn't working properly in some browsers, so I am working on the fix!

I'm aware that there are high expectations for Loops, so it's vital we resolve any bugs and make the platform as stable as possible before we put it into your hands.

@aj Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg were sitting in the first row when Trump became president of the United States. We have concentration camps in the US, unlawful arrests, Musk has performed a Nazi salute in public etc.

Albanese wants to make them the gatekeepers to keep our children safe.

To achieve this, he collaborates with fascists.
