zero sympathy zero compassion for any american who deploys into this war. They know what they are going into. The administration has already boasted about discarding even the most basic "rules of engagement" safeguards, we have already blown school children up. When these fuckers come back in 5-10 years talking about their PTSD from killing civilians, my response will be "kill yourself about it, you're wasting our tax dollars on your mental health care".
A federal IT staffer filed a complaint about DOGE, then went public. Shortly after Elon Musk boosted a post calling his claims false, his br
On April 14, 2025, Dan Berulis, an IT staffer at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), filed a Congressional whistleblower complaint with an extraordinary and urgent claim: The so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had seemingly compromised the agency’s data and appeared to be exfiltrating it out of the NLRB entirely. Additionally, Berulis claimed that mere minutes after DOGE members had accessed the agency’s data, there appeared to be login attempts from an IP address in Russia.
At the time, DOGE teams, orchestrated by billionaire Elon Musk, were sweeping across government, firing federal workers and accessing sensitive data and technical systems with no oversight and little transparency.
The following day, Berulis went public in an NPR article with his name and claims. In it, he claimed that in the lead-up to his Congressional disclosure, a threatening note had been taped to his door, including photos of him walking his dog that appeared to have been taken by a drone. Berulis was already scared that speaking out had made him a target.
Five days after the NPR story went live, on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, Berulis got in his car to drive to Maryland to make a last-minute visit to his uncle, opting to take local roads instead of the major highway nearby. Within about five minutes of leaving his house, Berulis realized something was wrong. As he approached a stop sign at an intersection, his car wouldn’t slow down. He ran off the road and into the sign. When he examined his car, he found something that terrified him: His brake lines had been cut.
Unbeknownst to Berulis at the time, the night before, on April 19, at 8:06 pm, Musk had reshared an X post from right-wing influencer Mario Nawfal, claiming that DOGE had been “cleared” and that people were asking the Department of Justice to investigate Berulis. Musk shared Nawfal’s post, writing, “Filing a deliberately false whistleblower claim is a serious crime.” The story had originally been circulated by @amuse, an account that has regularly shared misleading claims and misinformation and is followed by influential people like Musk and Department of Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The @amuse post included Berulis’ name and photograph.
Berulis, who found out about Musk’s tweet after the accident, thought back to the threatening note that had been posted on his door earlier that month.
“The correlation was obvious to me, with the timing,” he says. Berulis also began to worry about how exactly whoever had been threatening him knew where he lived.
“I had just moved into that address three months prior. The only people that had that address were my utilities and the [Office of Personnel Management], and the HR systems within my agency,” he says. “I hadn't even updated my bank, my cell phone, my car registration, my license, all of it was not on that address yet.”
The Office of Personnel Management functions as a sort of HR for the whole government, and was one of the first places where DOGE operatives appeared after President Donald Trump was sworn into office in January 2025.
Berulis stayed in a hotel that night, frightened. In the following weeks, he canceled his lease and moved out.
The brake lines incident probably happened “while the car was parked in the driveway of my house. The note arrived at the house,” he says. “I didn't feel safe there at all. I never stayed at that address again.”
Since then, Berulis has laid low. He filed a police report, included in the suit and viewed by WIRED, and had the car seen by a mechanic who, according to the report, found “that the driver-side front impact/airbag sensor had also been removed but noted that the remaining wires had been spliced together, completing the circuit in a manner that prevented the vehicle from detecting or logging the missing component, while also preventing the vehicle from activating its safety protocols, alerting the driver, or engaging limp mode.” The police report also indicates that fingerprints had been found on Berulis’ car. According to the police report, the case is now “inactive,” “due to the lack of any specific suspect information,” though the police’s intelligence unit was notified.

I’m going to say something that might sound crazy. Suicide and suicide attempts are sort of a societal alarm bell that says “something is very wrong with the environment this individual was in.” A living being choosing to take themselves out of existence is the most extreme act of distress there is. The state stepping in to silence this alarm bell by funneling suicidal people into a state sanctioned euthanasia program, normalizing this act through a socially accepted bureaucratic system, is not a good thing. It goes hand in hand with the state’s interest in maintaining the status quo at the expense of the population and the psychiatric industry’s interest in individualizing societal problems to extract profit and aid the existing system. It’s saying “there are no complaints here, just people with sick brains, carry on.”
It's not just or even always something wrong with ones personal environment. Something is wrong with the entire world. Actually a lot is wrong. And it's only getting worse. So forcing people who can't stand it here to stay is morally wrong. People shouldn't be forced to live in pain. They should be given the option to end it with dignity. In Canada, we have MAiD for this, though it isn't for the mentally ill (yet). Next year they will reassess it and possibly make it accessible for people with mental illnesses too.
No one is forcing anyone to "stay". The argument is that the government shouldn't be the arbitrator of who "can't be helped" and needs to be euthanized by the state, because we should not trust the government to make that call. Especially because there are a giant pile of ulterior motives a government may have for euthanizing people.
Also, when I said "environment" I intended it to mean something as small as someone's family environment or as broad as an entire societal system. If everyone who is horribly upset at the state of the world is given by the government a ticket to kill themselves, who does that benefit as a whole? The people who are dissatisfied with the world and want change, or the system that would prefer the status quo be maintained and any complainers catch the bus?

Huh that is kind of a weird way to talk about it
Oh
Oh
Oh. Ok. Makes sense now
TME people will harass you for five hours when you call then out for assisting in the genocide of trans women and then say 'You started it'.
All TMEs should die, idgaf anymore. Kill yourselves.
Pup u gotta learn how to lie better 😭
Eat shit, TERF.
remember when u said you couldn’t remember being insane towards me because you have ADHD
the only viral “beauty hack” that I can say changed my life is the Just For Men beard dye eyebrow trend. I inherited an odd clear eyebrow hair gene so despite having dark hair I never had eyebrows until Just For Men entered my life. Did you know one $11 Just For Men beard dye kit lasts like 2 years of dying your eyebrows? (And the pink tax eyebrow dye product equivalent costs like $30 for ONE application and doesn’t even work?) I can’t lie I’ve been tempted to use it to try dying some of my body hair darker although I don’t think that’s what the tiktok girls intended the hack to be used for
my brain will never enjoy short form videos. If I am going to watch a video with sound it needs to be at LEAST 15 minutes long or else what is even the point
as someone who has never left the country would it be insane for me to take a trip to Romania by myself
the only people I see blowing a gasket over trans men IDing as lesbians / lesboys / etc and participating in lesbian events are trans women. Meanwhile the lesbian community by and large dgaf and totally gets it. Like it's hilarious that these trans women don't see how much of a losing battle it is to yell at two groups who get along demanding they both "STOP getting along right now, do you hear me!?"
in the future there will be fiber optic drone attacks on data centers I am calling it now ☝️
Video of young girl in Iran: I hate being female in this horribly misogynistic society where women and girls are violently oppressed, and I’m also attracted to the same sex. I wish I were a boy sometimes
Commenters: Aww I hope this BOY is a happy BOY now! Trans joy uwu!
it’s crazy these people never realize when they say shit like this they’re essentially agreeing with the oppressive gender roles of the society at hand.
women have to live with the constant awareness of the possibility of getting raped even in the most innocuous of situations, and people still have the audacity to present this awareness as drama and fearmongering. if you help out an elderly man with getting his groceries into the house and he rapes you, you are the dummy for not thinking it through. but if an elderly man invites you into his house on the pretense of needing help with the groceries and you refuse, you are a paranoid (and heartless!) bitch. schrödinger's rapists: every man could be one, but also no man is, so how dare you think about it.
I think the terms “rapejacketing” and “pedojacketing” were invented because “false allegations” sounded too obviously incel-y
