Musk is only pretending to step away from destroying the government to avoid financial and ethical disclosures. Don't fall for it.

Na das kann ja zukünftig noch heiter werden.
Trotz seines abgelehnten Asylantrags vor zwei Jahren soll ein junger Mann zu einer Besprechung seiner weiteren Perspektive und der Möglichkeit einer Arbeitserlaubnis erscheinen. Da eine Ausbildungsmöglichkeit in einem Krankenhaus bestand, geht der Ägypter zur Behörde - und wird festgenommen, die Abschiebung droht. ICE und USA? Nein Deutschland https://www.swr.de/swraktuell/rheinland-pfalz/koblenz/tischverhaftung-bei-auslaenderbehoerde-neuwied-100.html

"Independent sites (cough, Westenberg, cough) who don’t have the resources to compete with major platforms in visibility and search rankings, lose traffic and, consequently, viability. As a result, entire categories of information and smaller communities become less accessible, hidden behind the algorithms of the dominant, bloated tech giants."
This week I made https://powrss.com precisely to make it easier to discover independent sites. It's time to reclaim the open web.
Trump just got SCOTUS to rule that 500,000 previously documented people are now undocumented.
A reminder that whenever MAGA cultists claimed they only opposed "illegal" immigration and not "legal" immigration, they were lying. They oppose non-white people, because MAGA is a white supremacist cult.
Klimaskeptiker: “Der kalte Mai in 🇩🇪 widerlegt den Klimawandel!!!”
Messdaten: Der Mai in 🇩🇪 war überdurchschnittlich warm.
DWD: “Mit einer Mitteltemperatur von 12,7 °C lag der Mai 2025 um 0,6 Grad über dem Wert der Referenzperiode 1961–1990 (12,1 °C).”
Countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles.
The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.

Klimaschutz?
Um Himmels Willen, dass schädigt die Wirtschaft.

Nun gut, sind ja nur Bürger/-innen, die mehr Kosten haben.
Carbon dioxide emissions in China were down 1.6% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025, and by 1% in the past 12 months.
It’s not because demand is down, either, but because renewables are up! #China #renewables #climate #ClimateChange #news #environment #pollution #news
We can say this at least:
Musk is one of the most malignant people ever to hold a position of influence in American politics.
His actions, without exaggeration,
have devastated the health and security of American society
and directly caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people all over the world,
with millions more to follow given the course that he has set.
Musk’s DOGE,
which is more or less a conspiracy to destroy constitutional government in this country,
has wreaked untold havoc.
Perhaps 10 percent of the already badly understaffed federal workforce has been laid off en masse,
with no regard to institutional knowledge or experience,
much less the constitutional separation of powers.
Basic systems foundational to American life,
like weather prediction,
air traffic control, and disaster relief,
are starting to crack.
America’s world-leading system of scientific funding has all but ground to a halt.
DOGE, along with Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr.,
has frozen the pipeline of grants that fund a huge portion of scientific research, including new treatments for cancer and other major diseases.
Basic enforcement of the nation’s laws has been abandoned,
with Musk gleefully hobbling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it might have interfered with his plans to offer banking services on his X app.
The Prospect is currently chronicling what new financial predators lurk to separate people from their money in a special series.
Musk’s political antics could be starting to catch up with him and threaten his wealth.
But the worst damage has been done to foreign aid.
USAID has been essentially shuttered (fed “into the wood chipper,” as Musk gleefully boasted),
and various programs providing medication and food aid around the world, particularly in Africa,
have been halted indefinitely.
Huge warehouses are full of rotting foodthat American taxpayers already paid for but that can’t be handed out.
Millions of people are seeing their cases of HIV, tuberculosis, and other diseases rage out of control.
Simply halting PEPFAR,
which provided about 20 million people with HIV antiretroviral drugs at a microscopic cost,
has already killed an estimated 54,500 adults and 5,800 children.
Many, many more will follow.
Roughly 1,500 babieshave been born HIV-positive every day since January 21, because Musk cut off their mothers’ medication

A legal argument that the U.S. Supreme Court used to foil Joe Biden on climate change and student debt now looms as a threat to President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/06/01/economy/trump-tariffs-supreme-court-threat/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #us #supremecourt #donaldtrump #congress #trade #tariffs
Why are their employers not being arrested?
Inside North Korean Smartphone:
- As North Korean banned South Korean words, when typing 'oppa', its will be changed to 'comrade' and got a warning if the word should be supposed to refer the siblings;
- When typing 'South Korea', its will be changed to 'Puppet State';
- The phone actively taking screenshot every 5 minutes, and the user can't open that. Only authorities can.
An online friend‘s company really thinks glorified autocomplete can do work.
They are in phase 1 and requiring all employees to use it regularly.
