They are ALL awful. All incompetent, one dysfunctional alcoholic, one playing army like a 12 y-o, one in charge of our nation’s health who stopped on 684 to cut off a raccoon penis, and so on.
And yet all three of the firings have been of women.
Apparently Sam Altman also wrote a manifesto (on top of Marc Andreessens a while back). Are there others?
Genuine question: why do we think the tech bros are doing this? Which need does this fulfill for them?
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
This is cause for celebration. May the entire white supremacist international he helped create also fall.
A Julia Davis @JuliaDavisNews • 15h ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation's newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps. 'We've been torn apart: U.S. sends a Navy airman to Iran while deporting her father on the same day. Jessica Martinez is currently serving aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
my level of stress has crossed a threshold where i think it would be funny if trump attended the birthright citizenship oral argument and scotus incoherently ruled in his favor 6-3. cortisol levels so high that i can't stop lolling about all my family members in danger. wouldn't it be funny tho
Only 23% of government workers believe they “can report a suspected violation of a law, rule, or regulation without experiencing retaliation.”
That's way down form the share the prior year (72%) who said they could report suspected illegal activity without fear

My colleague @justinwolfers.bsky.social offers a brilliant explainer of the collapse of federal employee workplace conditions, and why you should care about it.

Congress had embedded actors into the executive branch who were meant to maintain basic institutional standards and accountability. The Trump admin's position is that any such positions are unconstitutional and have treated them as such. The Inspector General position is no longer credible.
Simultaneously:
- Microsoft bragging that 90% of the code its devs ship is AI generated
- Microsoft demanding that its devs burn 10x fewer tokens because it's getting too expensive
- Every week brings new and exciting emergency security patches for Windows 11
Americans opposing concentration camps. We are deciding now whether we want to be a country with concentration camps and ethnic cleansing.
Some Anthropic updates: On 3/4, just hours before Hegseth declared Anthropic a “supply chain risk”—allegedly due to fears of “sabotage” & “data exfiltration”—his under sec’y wrote Anthropic that they were “very close” to a deal, asking to change a prepositional phrase. ...

"I am instead going to try to set out what happened, which is that I believe Andreessen read a book."
"administrative burdens in disability benefit access were disproportionately borne by people with limited technological literacy and internet access, those with psychiatric, cognitive or communication disabilities, people with unstable housing, and members of mixed-status immigrant families."

Endless mafia-style tactics
This is a very, very, quite surprisingly dead canary in Stephen Miller’s coal mine.
I’d say the violence and cruelty of ICE/CBP is most definitely a kitchen table topic if this is where the backlash is reaching.
We don’t have any info on these new facilities but I expect detention bed costs will be something closer to $300/day than $200/day.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
Don't be afraid to slow down to get all those feeling like they ought to bid higher for a good cause feel it a bit more.
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
Different angle, showing the lead-up:
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Honestly curious if anyone has done messaging on Trump’s parsons-for-cash scheme because it is leagues beyond what any previous president had done
hi friends, I’m about to be low internet for the next week or so!! I would love it so much if you could tell your amazing Bay Area Eng leader folks about this job, which closes 2/24!! that way when I get back to my inbox it will be full up with lovely applications 🙏🏻❤️
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
