@GottaLaff

At least this time #Bezos bucked a #government official, #rfkjr, & promoted #measles #vaccination.

Or maybe he wasn't looking.

Either way this is serious & we all need to be vigilant since the #usgovernment is not.

#getvaccinated for you, for someone you love or maybe just someone you've never met.

Dear #MAGA folk asking #wwjd. He'd get vaccinated & #isolate if exposed to protect "the least of these". You should too. What? Jesus wouldn't get sick causes he's God? You're not God.

I had to learn a lot about parliamentary government when studying for Canadian citizenship so I have all the passion of the recently-converted but I think we're all getting a lesson on which is the superior* approach right now.

*Not perfect, of course. And I'm still holding my breath for the Canadian election.

DOGE Has Become What It Claimed To Destroy
techdirt.com/2025/03/10/doge-h

"DOGE is the #DeepState. Wired’s Brian Barrett made this crucial observation last week & I can’t get it out of my mind. For all the talk during the last decade of the supposed “deep state” of #unelected bureaucrats controlling the #government, which was never actually true, #DOGE has become the very deep state they falsely claimed existed previously."

The Fascist Tech Bro Takeover Is Here

"Musk's $277 million campaign contribution secured him unprecedented access to the levers of #Government & cemented his grip on the #political machine... Musk's influence has infected every arm of Govt. And he is using his #wealth, his control of Twitter's husk, & his presence in the #Trump orbit to steer the country away from #democratic principles & toward oligarchic rule."
