one way to shrink the Federal government is by impeachment.
@N.Morgan @Phil are you repeating an article plainly represented as satire as if it were real? or am i just missing your dry sense of humor? https://dunning-kruger-times.com/doge-halts-2-6-million-annual-payment-to-obama-for-obamacare-royalties/
remember how they couldn’t endorse because they were failing to persuade the public of their neutrality and lack of bias, so it was essential to restore trust? https://social.marxist.network/@yogthos/114070829915547830
@ike (thanks for looking!)
@ike i would appreciate any help. to my knowledge my domain has never been used for anything nsfw or sketchy. i did recently have some kind of breach of my notes server, maybe there was something not-great placed there? in any case, i’d like to understand and remedy this.
i love it when organizations i’ve given money to write me to tell me it’s my last chance to give them more money.

@ike that's very strange! thanks for letting me know. it's up for me. can i ask whether are you trying https://drafts.interfluidity.com/ or https://www.interfluidity.com/ or are both unavailable? (only) if you are comfortable saying so, where are you physically located?

In Burundi, it will take us three months to get new supplies into the country. We might have planned for this had we known we would be cut off. But we were given no warning when the programs that support the care of sick and hungry children were sacrificed on the altar of “efficiency” in one harsh, abrupt stroke. Seeming indifference, from the American people.

@Harald_Korneliussen i mean, i don't need to be in charge, i just need existing actual laws to be. admittedly we're not there. let's put it on the TODO list!
on the left you have people annoyed they can't make rent and might die while they appeal their chemo denial. on the right you have people annoyed they'd get in trouble if they called someone "retard" and broadcast it to potentially millions of people. both sides have legitimate grievances.
a thing about cutting medicaid is it's the most cost effective piece of the American health care system, with the possible exception of the VA.
i worry Trump's fantasies with respect to the Gaza Strip may create incentives among hopefully credulous Israelis to create a similar circumstance in the West Bank.
