#posted — Public Fediverse posts

What are these #apps. Something that you #participate in until you get #bored. I see people with 100,000 followers haven't #posted in 2-3 #years. Nothing in the #city or #country by it watch that #pendulum #sway.

I clearly blog too much. I aim for a 4 KiB / week rate, and now I have about a one-year backlog, which is quite suitable for privacy reasons. Anything happening now won’t be in my blog.

Yet, I do update my blog weekly. Currently, I’ve merged about 12 posts, sorted them by topic, and am making a set of on-topic posts, instead of weekly “log”-style posts.

#blog #personal #weblog #posted #tech

I am writing an open #letter to all #political sides as an #introduction to #hope I wish to turn #hurt away from and closer into as such through #affirmative #action accordingly if at all possible.

Let me start out by saying, that I #believe in the #power of real human prayer as #unbound #energy finding its way through us. And in turn, I'm no #religious #person by and large, but I am going to send this #prayer out there anyways because I feel it needs to be #said as is.

This will be a prayer covering several #topics of conversation that I #feel are important and significant enough to relay as one broadcast.

#extremism

To all #people I #pray that:
You realize living on your own #political #island sounds great in theory, be it on the #left or the #right of the spectrum. Or even at the #top or #bottom of it as well. But being unable to find or care for the #center of it, leaves you #vulnerable to #attack more so than anything else. And that is not a state of things I #desire for you to have to #live by.

#awareness

I pray that:
As #individuals you #collectively and #personally #understand that there are differences between the #perception of how you come across to others, and how others #perceive you in turn. It is okay to have a #difference of opinion, but to be #blind sighted by this, leaves you open to being #weaponized and I do not #wish that for you to have to #experience at all.

#sovereignty
I pray that:
You can #recognize how someone wants to be able to experience #respect without having to diverge or divulge your #interest in a #potential #conflict as such. In order for us to be able to #trust each other, we have to #remember how to #treat one another as #equals rather than constantly #competing for #dominance based on denying that there #exists a spectrum of #agreeability at play that we are all apart of.

#CommonSense
I pray that:
We keep building upon #frameworks that do not need to become a totally separate #foundation that exists just to serve you. But rather, exist as #modular #blocks that can join and detach from one another as already built #structures full and complete. This way, we are not trying to conflict over what block we have to share space with someone else in prioritizing. Because the entire thing is ours to shape in our own way. And so as a #metaphor, I feel it is #important to attach to the idea of having a sense in common, as opposed to a common sense where applicable, of things that cause us to #fight over how #relevant it is to most of us around the #actual or #planned #change currently in motion.

#battles
I pray that:
We are able to tell when to be #still and when to #move upon any #focus that #captivates us in part. Whether it exists as apart of a #whole or not. Doing so will help us make the best #impact #possible for the change we want to make a #reality for the #cause we are #concerned for.

And ultimately, I pray that we can move past the blatant need to have an #existential #crisis be on full display at the #crossroads of #agendas being carried out as they are each in turn, #instigated by #georegional #tribalism that serves nobody accept to put #humanity as a whole last, not first, as I intend to do.

All of these things are #real and can be #fixable and #doable as such. And I want to make sure, that this reality does not have a chance to get far out of #control the way it currently has.

For it is #outcomes like this, that #incomes should never have appropriately #manifested into #place that I want to #avoid and keep #preventable from ever #happening again.

To me, I find it very #unfortunate that we are living through #times of such blatant #hardship that should not have to be so unnecessary in today's day and age. For in this latest #protest #style #news #video we see this very inteersection of mounting, preventable #activities #culminating all at once in a display of #violent #behaviour best #repurposed for other #interests in my #opinion acordingly.

In #America #israel and #Canada or anywhere else in our #world we should not have to worry about #migration #problems at home #effecting the #symptom of #indifference at the #core of #ineffective #deference as such. Rather, if we simply #agree to #adapt our time towards #focusing on the #things we can #bear #witness to as our own #personal #legacy then I say we have done enough for our #community be it or we tied to a particular #faith or not.

I say this, in my own #human name for all it is worth. Because that is who I am now, and if any #guardian #angel believes this to be #true then all I ask, is that you add yours to this prayer and pass it forward.

Thank you for your #attention to this #matter as such. I #appreciate it and you very much for the #blessing that you are.

US watchdog to investigate Musk ‘Doge’ team’s access to payment systems

Treasury inspector general to launch audit as judge mulls whether access to sensitive data was unconstitutional

Loren Sciurba,
the treasury’s deputy inspector general,
said the audit would review the past two years of the system’s transactions
to examine Musk’s claim that his team has uncovered evidence of billions of dollars of fraudulent payments.

She said the audit
– launched in response to demands from the Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden
– would begin immediately and
👉take until August to complete.

Its launch coincided with a judge in Washington considering a legal suit
lodged by Democratic attorneys general from 14 states,
arguing that Doge’s work was illegal on the alleged grounds that Trump violated the US constitution
💥by creating a federal government department without congressional approval.

The attorneys general argue that Musk has exercised “virtually unchecked power”
by entering government agencies and ordering sweeping cuts without oversight or authorization from Congress.

#USAid, the government foreign assistance agency, has been shuttered on his authority
and its workforce put on leave,
although a judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to temporarily lift the funding freeze it has imposed on the agency’s humanitarian work.

The suit, led by
New Mexico’s justice department,
alleges that Doge has “unraveled federal agencies, accessed sensitive data, and caused widespread disruption for state and local governments, federal employees, and the American people”.

A separate hearing in a court in New York was due
over whether to extend a temporary block on the Doge team entering the #payments #system
that was imposed in an interim ruling last Saturday by Judge #Paul #Englemayer.

Musk called for Englemayer’s impeachment after that ruling,
while JD Vance, the vice-president, wrote in a social media most that judges were not allowed to interfere with a president’s “legitimate power”
– a view contested by most constitutional law experts.

On Friday, Judge #Jeannette #Vargas extended the temporary block, though she said she would not yet rule on whether there should be a longer lasting preliminary injunction prohibiting Doge’s access to the treasury payment system.

Swingeing cuts continued apace despite the plethora of legal challenges.

Federal agency heads were ordered to fire most recent hires who have not completed their probation period – a move likely to affect about 200,000 workers, the Washington Post reported.

The treasury department audit coincided with a call from #Chris #Murphy, Democratic senator for Connecticut,
for an official investigation into the “legality and scope” of Musk’s penetration of the federal bureaucracy.

“Musk and his aides are subject to various conflict of interest statutes which prohibit federal employees from participating in matters that impact their own financial interests,”
Murphy wrote to the US government comptroller general, #Eugene #Dodaro.

He added: “It is imperative the public understands whether Musk and his aides have complied with the law
and whether highly sensitive data could be at risk if accessed by private actors who seek to benefit from the information illegally,
or worse, by foreign adversaries who wish to attack this country.”

Murphy’s letter to Dodaro came as HuffPost reported that Doge had publicly #posted #classified #information about the size and staff of a US intelligence agency – the National Reconnaissance Office – on its new website.

The exposure reportedly left some “scrambling to check if their info has been accessed”,
according to one Defense Intelligence Agency employee who spoke with HuffPost.

Despite the rising resistance to its activities,
the US #armed #services were preparing a list of weapons systems to be cut
in preparation for Doge casting its gaze over the #Pentagon, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Members of Musk’s team were expected to visit the Pentagon on Friday.

💥“People are offering up things sacrificially, hoping that will prevent more cuts,” a defence official told the Journal.

The army was said to be volunteering cutting outdated drones and vehicles,
while the navy is proposing cuts to frigates and littoral combat ships.

October 30, 2024

Donald Trump's #mental #state appears to have further #deteriorated since last night’s news about a new grand jury’s #superseding #indictment of him on charges of trying to overthrow the 2020 presidential election.

Over the course of about four hours this morning, Trump #posted #50 #times on his social media platform, mostly reposting material that was associated with #QAnon, #violent, #authoritarian, or #conspiratorial. 

🔸He suggested he is “100% INNOCENT,” and that the indictment is a “Witch Hunt.”
🔸He called for trials and jail for special counsel Jack #Smith, former president Barack #Obama, and the members of Congress who investigated the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
🔸And he reposted a sexual insult about the political careers of both Vice President Kamala #Harris and former Secretary of State Hillary #Clinton.

Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign has today escalated the fight about Trump’s photo op Monday at #Arlington #National #Cemetery, where campaign staff took photos and videos in Section 60, the burial ground of recent veterans, apparently over the strong objections of cemetery officials.

Then the campaign released photos and a video from the visit attacking Harris. 

A statement from the Arlington National Cemetery reiterated:
♦️“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate's campaign. ♦️
⭐️Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants.
We can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed.”

Arlington National Cemetery was established on the former property of General Robert E. Lee in 1864,
after the Lee family did not pay their property taxes.
At the time, Lee was leading Confederate forces against the United States government, and those buried in the cemetery in its early years were those killed in the Civil War.
The cemetery is one of two in the United States that is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army, and it is widely considered hallowed ground.
