It’s a #coup

"Just because these words are not on the front page in banner #headlines of any #newspaper doesn’t mean this isn’t not happening. It is.

...there has been relentless, assiduous, detailed reporting in outlets across America... There is fact after fact after fact about Musk’s #illegal pillaging of the federal govt. But #news org leaders are … what?...

The fact is the front pages look like it’s business as normal when it’s anything but."

Text from article: It was an exemplar of what was possible: the theft and weaponization of 87 million people’s personal data. But this now is the Great Hack. This week is when the operating system of the US was wrenched open and is now controlled by a private citizen under the protection of the President. If you think I’ve completely lost it, please be advised that I’m far from alone in saying this. The small pools of light in the darkness of this week has been stumbling across individual commentators saying this for the last week. Just because these words are not on the front page in banner headlines of any newspaper doesn’t mean this isn’t not happening. It is. In fact, there has been relentless, assiduous, detailed reporting in all outlets across America. There are journalists who aren’t eating or sleeping and doing amazing work tracking what’s happening. There is fact after fact after fact about Musk’s illegal pillaging of the federal government. But news organisation leaders are either falling for the distraction story - the most obviously insane one this week being rebuilding Gaza as a luxury resort, a story that dominated headlines and political oxygen for days. Or…what? Being unable to actually believe that this is what an authoritarian takeover looks like? Being unsure of whether you put the headline about the illegal coup d’etat next to a spring season fashion report?... The fact is the front pages look like it’s business as normal when it’s anything but.

Stuff I found
The good thing is that the internet is a worldwide thing and Americans have no influence on websites hosted outside the USA. So make sure your website is hosted on a server outside the USA!

CDC removes websites relating to LGBTQ people to comply with Trump. This is quite literally where the nazis started. The first books they burned were on sexuality and gender research. We are witnessing nazi book burning in the age of the internet
The white house has been scrubbing all mentions of trans people from government websites, including changing its advice for "LGBTI+ travelers" to just "LGB travelers"
To comply with trump's order to remove "woke ideology" from federal institutions, the CDC has instructed its scientists to retract or pause any research containing these words: - gender - transgender - pregnant people - pregnant person - lgbt - transsexual - non-binary - assigned male/female at birth - Biological gender
The first nazi book burning was Magnus Hirschfeld's institute for sexual research, where he performed some of the first sexual reassignment surgeries, and his library contained pioneering research on gay, transgender and intersex topics. On 6 May 1933, the library was raided by the Nazis and its content burned at the street

Text from article: One of the major changes in American politics since 2016 is the plummeting public trust in the mainstream media. Part of this can be blamed on Trump, who demonized the press as the enemy of the people, leading his base to hate us. But part of this can also be blamed on the media itself, which has made readers and viewers writ large upset by some of our worst tendencies: There’s the problem of headlines often repeating Trump’s lies, or even those willing to give the aspiring autocrat the benefit of the doubt. Many articles seem unable to grasp the stakes of 2024 beyond framing it as a traditional horse race. And for every journalist doing hard-hitting investigative reporting on, say, Supreme Court corruption or Trump’s foreign money scandals, there’s reams of coverage of Trump’s insults and tirades.
