Freedom is Cancelled, a blog on Arresting Congresspeople https://colintheshots.com/blog/2025/05/11/freedom-is-cancelled/

Of all things at risk, the loss of objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous.

The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.

When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams loudest.

-- Mon Mothma, Andor S2E8

Clearly, Google has perfected the fine art of naming sequels.

Google's newest model is Gemini 2.5 Pro Preview I/O Edition, sequel to Gemini 2.5 Pro

Where do we go next?

Gemini 2.5 Pro Max Ultra Edge+ Cloud Limited I/O Founders Preview 6-Blade Edition, First of his Name, King of the Andals

The President has no idea if he has to uphold the Constitution.

Vance doesn't know what gives judges the right to judge. After law school.

State Department spokesperson doesn’t know what Rubio does. Relatable!

I'm inspired.

Show prosperity: do nothing to show the world how successful America is.

I'll forget how to write and commit code. Or how to read and comment on code. What is code, but something only computers are meant to read and understand?

Wish me luck on my vibe work journey!

Just woke up to find out the president has revoked the security clearances of everyone at a cybersecurity company because Chris Krebs went to work there. Krebs was his director for the agency in charge of Cybersecurity & Election Security during his first term and refuted his claim the 2020 election was "stolen".

Revoking the clearance of every employee basically kills the company's ability to do government contracts, which is a major source of revenue for cybersecurity companies. The White House press release also restates the false claim that the 2020 election was "rigged and stolen".

The US is basically a fascist dictatorship at this point. One where the president goes after entire companies because a single person spoke out against his verifiably false claims. You'd have to be completely insane to travel here right now.

Donald Trump gestures proudly towards his toddler crayon drawing from a podium

I miss the days when the worst thing ever to happen to America was alleged to be Hillary's emails sitting on a home server.

@Savvyhomestead Bear in mind, the White House has already spent more money on golf outings for the President than on all vital, cancelled medical research spending involving transgenic mice combined.

That's as of about a month ago.

The government efficiency has no clothes.

@lauren They're the two weakest White House residents America ever barely elected. It's hard to use the word "leader" in any context for those puppets.

That JD Vance and Donald Trump should burn in hell

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.” - George Orwell

«Claudia de Breij: This cartoon by Ann Telnaes was rejected by the Washington Post, the newspaper purchased by Jeff Bezos.
The creator has resigned because she believes that free press is a prerequisite for democracy. What if we spread this cartoon _en masse_ today?»

@skinnylatte that's true

@skinnylatte I have a cousin who came here on an H1B.

You can't ignore the fact that they aren't allowed to stay here without finding a new visa sponsor. They can't just leave their job if work conditions are bad because it'll be heck to find the next sponsor to take over their visa.

Companies say these immigrants work harder, but there's also definitely a stick as well as a carrot.

This seems like very important things for USians to know.

Edit: we're already North of 100 boosts and just a few away from 100 likes and too much love is bad for me, so I'm muting the conversation now, but feel free to @ me if there's anything important that I need to know. :>

rahaeli on Bluesky posts:
To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:
1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;

2) copies of all materials they relied on to make their determination;
3) proof the doctor making the determination has maintained registration in your specific state and documentation of their meeting all their continuing education requirements;

4) the aggregate rate at which similar treatments are denied vs approved by the specific doctor being used for peer review.
You are not entitled by law to *all* of these things in most states, but you're entitled to some of them, and you can always ask for them.

This is, she says, a wildly successful tactic, because if the insurance company answers them honestly, it gives you evidence that the
"doctors" making these determinations are practicing medicine out of scope, without proper licensing and qualifications, in areas they are not competent in.

Everyone knows this is true; it's not a secret in any way. But it's in violation of a number of regulations, and a LOT of times the company will just give up and pay the bill rather than handing you proof they're violating the regs. It's a tactic that has worked for me many, many times.

Reminder that the research linking vaccines to autism was FABRICATED by Andrew Wakefield to discredit vaccination against childhood diseases: he was selling an alternative remedy. Never did jail time but got struck off the medical register here in the UK for LYING.

The anti-vaxxer ball he started rolling has now probably killed millions, thanks to COVID19, flu, and other illnesses.

(PS: it also weaponizes bigotry against autism, leading to hate crimes.)
