#DOGE has turned its attention to small, #independent entities
NPR has identified close to 40 entities — inside, adjacent to & OUTSIDE of the #government — where DOGE & the #Trump admin have turned their attention in recent weeks.
It's the latest example of how DOGE is attempting to expand its reach beyond high-profile Cabinet agencies, & in some cases far beyond the #ExecutiveBranch & the #FederalGovernment entirely.

"and interviews with employees who were granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly and fear retaliation from the Trump administration."
I don't get it, how else will they retaliate but cutting their jobs, which they are slated to do anyway.
All they need to do is dox them. The gaggle of thugs will take it from there.
They have families to consider.

Physically, I’m nearly his age, and I remember Man-Tan coming out when I was a teenager.
Old 60s civil-rights song:
“Well, there’s just one thing, / I don’t understan’: / Why the Southern Whites / Use Man-Tan.”
But the thing about Man-Tan is that’s not traditional make-up. It’s a chemical lotion that turns skin dark. And if you abuse it, it turns skin orange. It appears that, after about 60 years, the Syphilitic Orangutan hasn’t yet worked that out.
The Disney-ABC-Time-Warner-Microsoft machine -- exists only because we turn it on. If enough of us turn it off, it is gone. Think of it: It is in your power to plunge Bill Gates into poverty, to send Peter Jennings off to 'Good Morning, Saskatchewan,' to rid the world of Disney-licensed products, to see Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer reduced to talking only to each other. Disconnect now!

Hello Fedi friends!
I'm preparing a presentation for a conference. The title: "The Rebellion will be self-hosted: Resisting the Digital Coup with #YunoHost"
I'm trying to describe how @yunohost has had a positive impact on my life. It's so hard to do so in 10 minutes or less 😅
A routine reminder that #YunoHost has a fundraising drive for the year so if you self-host through them and can afford to donate, any euro / dollar / yen counts: yunohost.org/donate.en.html Their volunteers are amazing ❤️
YunoHost: garden your own piece of the Internet!
YunoHost is a system that installs itself on a server and allows you to install and maintain - with very little technical knowledge - digital services (apps) that you control.yunohost.org

I'm using yunohost within political collectives to bootstrap independent organizational infrastructure (mostly nocodb+n8n for custom systems, mattermost for chat, plus nextcloud for file sharing).
If you ever want to produce content, either educational or agitprop, about similar stacks, feel free to reach out. I have an endless backlog of stuff I have no capacity to self-produce.
"Former White House lawyers, diplomatic protocol officers and foreign affairs experts have told the Guardian that Donald Trump’s receipt of overseas gifts and targeted investments are 'unprecedented', as the White House remakes US foreign policy under a pay-for-access code that eclipses past administrations with characteristic Trumpian excess."

Gemini-2.5-Pro is awesome - almost as good as a human labeler with a PhD 😎😁
With the initial prompt I shared, it tends to be way, way better than the other LLMs used internally for validating labeling decisions.
Ultimately, however, for the time being, I think every decision will have to be reviewed and manually validated by a human being - i.e., me.
Gemini-2.5-pro only helps me to speed up a bit the process, by reinforcing my initial intuition after a quick Google search. From 30 seconds to 2 minutes to about 5 to 20 seconds.
