Laughs in Hillary.
Nah, scratch that, I’m crying.
“What? Like with a cloth or something?”
“I don’t know how it works digitally at all.”
I’m just waiting for these incompetent fuckwits at DOGE to fuck something up so catastrophically that it backfires on them tenfold. I’d take GeekSquad running the government over these guys.
tenfold? imagine if an adversary had free and unfettered access to every network those morons have touched…
oh. right. the adversary is already there.
I’m barely an engineer but I can guarantee you that anyone with the ability to build a single actual functional server could run stuff better than these clowns. they fucked up so badly that they exposed a open mail relay to the entire fucking NOAA. I’m a dumb removed but that is beyond belief, if I did anything nearly as reckless as that on a corp network I’d be in handcuffs before the top of the hour.
this isn’t just risky - this is begging to be plundered.
You’re a dumb removed? You need to join a better instance.
How is it going to backfire? Are there tangible consequences for anyone involved? Doesn’t seem like it.
They start being hunted down.
That doesn’t happen in America. They’d rather wait for some magical government institution to save them. Canadian cities protested at Tesla dealerships this past weekend harder than any Americans did for their own country in this last couple of months.
My only conclusion I can come to as a non-American is that the vast majority of Americans want this and approve of this either fully or somewhat.
On the protest side, Americans are turning out in droves across the nation regularly. At capitol buildings and Tesla centers and more. Our media just doesn’t over it because they’re trying to squash the efforts.
Despite that, I’m still making plans to leave the country.
I haven’t seen a single picture or video of any of this. I’ve looked for it too. I saw a single coordinated protest of a 100 or so people called 50501 or something. That’s it.
Must not be looking very hard because they’ve been all over my general lemmy feed every few days and span multiple states, cities, and even countries.
I guess it must not have been very newsworthy then and not many people brought cameras. I’ll surely take your word for it though!
and countries
Yes I’m well aware of every country except for the us.
Editing to add the 50501 bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/50501movement.bsky.social
50501 was the first time there have been simultaneous protests in every state capital in the US, ever. There were more than 100 people on the capital steps in my backwater state of Missouri.
Could we do better? Hell yes, but to say we’re not doing anything is disingenuous when major media outlets are owned by opponents of the protests and therefore under-reporting, obfuscating, omitting or lying about protests happening.
It’s being blocked from the main pages of every mainstream American media source, including social media and mainstream “alternative media”, usually relegated to the second or third page, but you can usually see it on !politics@lemmy.world, !news@lemmy.world, and !50501@piefed.social as well as on Mastodon. There’s millions of people protesting, tens of thousands at some places.

I was just at a Tesla protest in my local town last weekend. There are literally zero articles about it. We don’t have freedom of the press here anymore.
I am hopeful but seriously the Trumpers are so invested in the cult I think they would justify anything. If they completely destroy social security and medicare leaving 3/4 of Trump voters completely fucked I think they would justify it to themselves that it is just a sacrifice for the greater good. Sure they can no longer afford to eat or buy meds but the new Jesus said it is for the best.
And they will all be arrested, charged, and put in prison. checks watch
It is always nice when watches have calendar functions that correctly handle dates decades into the future.
Breaking and entering, illegal access of digital resources, illegal firings, handling private data without oversight: I sleep
Unencrypted email: REAL SHIT
I mean I’ll take it, but, what?
It’s a state response, not a federal one. NY doesn’t really have the jurisdiction to file suits for crimes commited by the federal government against itself.
The states do have the jurisdiction to sue over a violation of the rights of its citizens commited by the federal government, especially when the violation is explicitly against federal law and the state has hard evidence with which to present their case.
So yes, I’ll take it too! Anything is literally better than nothing!

So they’re getting put in a cell?
