Rep Jamie Raskin is encouraging people to send in #FOIA requests to #DOGE to demand an enumeration of what the department knows about each requester. Since DOGE is an official government agency, they are obliged to respond to these requests per the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. US District Judge Casey Cooper has affirmed this as well in a recent ruling.

An explanation of the campaign, and a form letter ready for your customization is found here: jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy-a…

DOGE Privacy Act Requests - Jamie Raskin for Congress

U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk.

Agreed, but then every rule not followed is yet another attack surface in the courts. And they will of course try to weasel out of court orders or ignore them, but that too takes work. No single grain of sand in the gears is the one that brings the whole machine down.

I found this site that lets you draw icebergs and see how they would float (joshdata.me/iceberger.html?fbc…) - I was looking for visualizations of the iceberg metaphor for behavior, how we only see 10% of what someone is really going through. It’s a great resource for that and also now I’m distracted seeing how an iceberg shaped like a cat would float.

While I feel more natural typing over handwriting, I must admit moving my journaling to handwriting has been a positive.

Less stream of consciousness writing, requiring more deliberate and slow thinking.

42nd Street and Madison Avenue. Street hawker selling Consumer's Bureau Guide. New York City

#42ndStreet #MadisonAvenue #NewYorkCity #NewYorkCitys #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

loc.gov/pictures/item/20177722…

The image depicts a street scene in what appears to be mid-20th century New York City. A man is holding up a sign that reads "Consumers Bureau Guide," which mentions research and information on various topics including health, housing, prices of goods, and more. He stands among pedestrians who are walking by him; one woman looks at the paper in his hand while others pass without much attention or interaction with him. The street is busy with people dressed in mid-century fashion—men wearing suits and hats, a woman in a skirt and coat—all seemingly going about their daily routines. The photo has black-and-white coloring typical of that era's photography. A date code "3-028P1" appears in the upper right corner along with the text "Consumers Bureau Guide," indicating it may have been part of an archive or collection. The overall mood is one of a bustling city where life moves forward, and individuals like our street hawk are just another element within that urban tapestry. The presence of such informational materials suggests there was a concern for consumer awareness and protection during this time period in New York City's history.

I like this messaging.
A screenshot from the X account of Democrats @TheDemocrats • “Ugly ass truck” as a quote post of a story about Trump buying a Tesla that shows a pic of Trump and Musk with a Tesla on the left and a Tesla on front of the White House on the right. “FactPost @factpostnews • Trump desperately tries to boost Tesla's plummeting stock after accusing Americans of "illegally" boycotting the company.” is the original X post.

This week, the Trump administration cancelled all grant programs under the Violence Against Women Act. These grants fund most court protective order programs.

At the same time, Trump declares you are a domestic terrorist if you deface a Tesla.

Literally, a swasticar has more legal protection than a woman now.

Vandalize Tesla property and the White House will prosecute you as a domestic terrorist, Trump pledges

The White House could bring the full force of the U.S. government to bear on anti–Elon Musk protesters found to have destroyed his carmaker’s assets.

What's with mastodon search? For example, I can't search for hashtags to find people with similar interests. Frustrating

Finding people works a bit differently on here as there deliberately isn't a central search engine (because someone nasty might take it over).

I've tried to do a guide for all the methods for discovering people to follow on here:

fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accoun…

If your server's search isn't giving you interesting results, you might want to try methods such as Fediverse directories or Fediverse groups as these methods are both server-neutral.

thanks, but I'm still confused. One thing this page says is, "You can find a lot of interesting accounts nowadays just by typing keywords into the search box on Mastodon." But search does NOT (in my experience) search the text of a profile. Said text must be in the handle or display name - super limited.

I had a look at your server's website, and it seems they don't have advanced search features installed. The advanced search requires the admin to install an add-on (called "elasticsearch"), but this costs extra so some admins don't install it.

You might want to ask your admin about this to make sure?

Because this place doesn't spy on users or run adverts, every server admin has to cover their server's costs and usually relies on donations from users to keep going.
