The purpose of DOGE was to exfiltrate the private data of hundreds of millions of Americans to Palantir's servers
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.
She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.
All charges against her have been dropped.
In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

In 1999 when I was The Guardian's Music Critic a PR phoned & said he had a great band he wanted me to see. So I went. It was dark & I couldn't see the PR's face. When the lights came up I realised The PR was not a man at all, or a PR, but a beagle.
I didn't like the band. they were called Coldplay.

You can disagree, but ask yourself this: Who was it who first told you to listen to 'Indian Rope Man' by Julie Driscoll or early Funkadelic or the second Buffalo Springfield LP? Was it dogs? Of course it wasn't. It was a cat you met under a dank bridge.

I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

Actually, yes. Years of Covid infections damaged your immune system making you vulnerable to flu.
