The meeting was a potential turning point after the frenetic first weeks of #Trump’s 2nd term. It yielded the first significant indication that Trump is willing to put some limits on #Musk, whose efforts have become the subject of several lawsuits & prompted concerns from #Republican lawmakers, some of whom have complained directly to Trump.

Please help get the word out to our #PublicService friends who were working in the #FederalGovernment:
Some friends and I created this site to track the impacts of the #Trump Admin's attack on the federal service.

Right now, we're tracking jobs lost, but we aim to track downstream consequences for communities. Please get in touch with me if you'd like to help!

People across the world celebrated #Hurricane years after he stopped the intruder.

In Oct 2019, the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals, a British #veterinary #charity, gave Hurricane its Order of Merit. The honor is the animal equivalent of the Order of the British Empire, which the royal family has awarded for #charitable & #PublicService works for over a century. In Mar 2022, Hurricane was given a Distinguished Service Medal from the award body Animals in War & Peace.

Hmm... what interesting things could I do with a fleet of #Teslas if I were to buy them back from people who are underwater, at what they owe, rather than what they're worth?

You'd have to make this a non-profit because by definition you're taking a loss, but then what do you do with them? Sell them and just take/eat/write off the loss? Or something exciting? Give me ideas!

“I believe in the rule of #law, & I am optimistic that the strength of our #legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. But these are exceptional circumstances, & I cannot in good conscience do nothing,” #Biden added.

The president, hours away from the end of his decades-long political career, did not name #Trump in his statement, but he repeatedly alluded to Trump’s actions & comments about the pardon recipients.

Continued thread

#Biden’s decision comes after #Trump has repeatedly threatened to go after those who have crossed him politically or attempted to hold him accountable for his role in the attack on the US Capitol on #Jan6, 2021, & his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

“These public servants have served our nation with honor & distinction & do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified & politically motivated prosecutions,” Biden said.

#POTUS #Biden issued preemptive #pardons to ret Gen #MarkMilley, #AnthonyFauci, members & staff of the #Jan6 congressional Cmte, & police officers who testified before the panel, in an extraordinary move just hours before #Trump’s #inauguration.

Biden explained that he was issuing the pardons not because of any wrongdoing by those included but to protect them after they had served their country. [damn straight]

Why to pay for a private Weather Service if you could have National Weather Service? 🤦🏼‍♂️

One day even the government or presidency in the US is in private hands. Oh wait, just happened…

This is the way, the Soviets (and many other countries) destroyed their economy.

Like TVNZ and KiwiRail, NZ Post is another failed commercialisation that needs to be turned back into a not-for-profit. The natural monopoly parts like the mail delivery network, from post boxes to mail sorting to delivery runs, need to be run by a public infrastructure body. With other postal service entities able to build on top, just as freight and passenger services can be built on top of publicly-owned road and rail networks.
