Why will it take DOGE three years to respond to a simple FOIA?
https://freedom.press/the-classifieds/why-will-it-take-doge-three-years-to-respond-to-a-simple-foia/

"DOGE is “likely covered” by the Freedom of Information Act, and... cannot hide its records...

[DOGE] tried to argue it would take 3 years to respond to the #FOIA request, even if they fast-tracked their response...

Even if the recent ruling stands, we will have to keep a close eye on the myriad of ways #DOGE could continue to evade #public scrutiny"

Text(edited for length):
Musk's authoritarian fantasies aren't pipe dreams; he is constructing them, forcing them into being. His social media platform spreads rightwing propaganda, disinformation, and lies, his companies serve political interests... Every statement, every action, every so-called defense of "free speech" is another ham-fisted Muskian attempt to normalize extremism and undermine democratic governance. The man is a Nazi in all but name, a walking, talking, tweeting, sieg-heiling argument against his own master race musings. But he is not alone.

Peter Thiel may not stand beside Musk, but he stands aligned, financing a political machine intended to entrench corporate rule and feed humanity into the meat grinder. Thiel has spent decades working to dismantle democracy, viewing it as a roadblock to elite power, himself the elite personified...

At the core of this "movement" lurks Curtis Yarvin, whose political ideology - if it can be called such - has provided the intellectual framework for dismantling democracy. His "Dark Enlightenment" philosophy promotes a world where governments serve only the Superior (defined, of course, by Yarvin), a select few inherit power, and the public exists to obey. Considered fringe by anyone who still maintains contact with reality and decency, his masturbatory notions of hyper-fascism now resonate among maladjusted, incellionaire tech executives... a set of men who believe themselves above and better than the concept of democracy.

US intel community killed its own credibility by revealing its Ukraine policies (from 2022)

#ScottRitter




‘They #lied. They may hold that they lied for a noble reason, but they lied. They knowingly circulated information they had no reason to believe was true, and that lie was amplified by all the most influential #media outlets in the #western #world.’ Using #disinformation to thwart an enemy is one thing. Spreading it to your own #public and #policymakers is another.

A series of mistakes by #DOGE shows just how arbitrary & destructive this slash-and-burn strategy can get.

"The federal #government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the #public good rather than protect investor profits...

And if you don’t believe in the public good? You sprint through the ruination."

The Office of Personnel Management has just limited access to certain government records on Elon Musk and his DOGE minions.

Text: The Trump administration has fired members of the “privacy team” at the Office of Personnel Management, a move that will hinder public access and scrutiny over government records related to the security clearances of Elon Musk and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency.

CNN discovered the terminations when it made a freedom of information act (FOIA) request to OPM looking for those records, particularly regarding DOGE workers who were granted access to classified or sensitive information. An OPM email address responded to CNN’s request and said, “Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team.”

The Death of Government Expertise

Why #Trump and #Musk are on a firing spree
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/02/career-civil-servant-end/681712/

" #DOGE isn’t really a dept... and it has little to do with saving money... The whole enterprise is an attack against civil servants & the very notion of apolitical #expertise...

Modern societies, as #Americans are soon to learn, cannot function without #experts in every field, especially the many thousands who work in #public service."

WANT!!! 😬 Sydney pull your traffic socks up :bill:
"Once dominated by Fiat's auto factories, Turin has transformed itself into a public transport and biking heaven in the last 20 years. It's crisscrossed by 80 bus routes, 8 tram lines, 22 subway stations, and 258 km of bike lanes. Some 95% of Turin residents now live within 300 meters of a transit stop, and fewer than half of local trips happen in a car."
